Rovos Rail obtains three 5E1 units

[quote="On 28th April 2009, here, "Nathan"]Rovos Rail has purchased 3 class 5E1 units for his operations[/quote]

Any more information on this? It's rather a significant piece of heritage rail news.

I hope Mr. Vos paints his 5E1's in a sympathetic livery - what would YOU choose? Blue Train Blue, SAR Brown, or SAR Green?
I should point out that I am VERY happy indeed that the 5E1s are safe - it would be a serious crime if none were to work again. Thanks RV!

Perhaps a FOTR 15F logo on the front of the cabs...????
