Re: Newest Narrow Gauge Loco *LINK*

Regarding whether or not #62 is operational; I double checked my source of that record on the sar-L group on Yahoo, and found the following which was posted on September 12, 2003 regarding #61. The information I have on #62 came from a second hand source, and is not backed by anything else. It could be outdated or just plain wrong; although the rest of the information has held up well.

From [www.sandstone-estates.com]:
The Baldwin NG10 no 61, ex Port Elizabeth, has been stripped for assessment, which has revealed just how worn out it is. There is an enormous amount of work to do, but Lukas is confident that he can handle it. That's what nearly 40 years experience does for you!
