Hi Folks,

VERY bad news from South Africa.

The story in their own words.

In addition to the numerous 2' gauge locomotives listed, I believe Sandstone also has the SAR NG10, which used to be located at Port Elizabeth, SA. This locomotive is a close mate to the Baldwin 4-6-2 now operation on the Brecon Mountain Railway in Merthyr Tidfils, Wales.

I hope this collection can be saved!

Sincerely,
Glenn Christensen
