In July I visited this museum in Nueremburg in July to see their very small 50cm
Krauss 0-4-0T (http://www.thorsteamworld.com/photos/pbt.asp?trip=6) now they are
going to receive their fresh restored 0-6-0T which was recovered from Angola. A
great story.

O&K Locomotive No. 12493 is now complete.
A team from the Feldbahnmuseum in Germany visited our Bloemfontein workshops
recently where they were hosted by Lukas Nel. A full steam test was done on the
locomotive and it was inspected in detail. The work was declared to be totally
satisfactory and the locomotive is now being prepared for export.
Another job well done by Lukas and his team.
