That is the coolest video clip I have seen for a long time. I've seen photos and videos of the Garretts operating in Africa before, but I've never seen an Ausi one. Thanks for posting the clip and a thumbs up to everyone involved in the restoration.
A question. was she designed to run tender first, or is there a tender on both ends, with one in front carrying both fuel (coal) and water and the one behind (or is that the front?) carrying only water?
