IMHO the Class 25NC is the coolest narrow gauge loco ever. They looked like 7/8 scale Niagara's. The official speed limit for SA was 95 kph (59mph) but they could run a lot faster than that and frequently did. I paced alongside one with 115 kph (71mph) showing on my speedo and I've been told they could go quite a bit faster still. Never managed a cab ride in one though.
