Sorry I don't know why this attached itself twice

The first edition of our News Letter recently went out to all our passengers.

Allow me to boast a bit, but our 3655 really looks splendid. WE just need to work on that smoke box

I like your Hermon pic. You should have sent that into Rail pics

The weather certainly played its part as we had a great run with the South African Modellers Convention on board. It was super to meet Tony Atwell. I recognised him immediately after seen many of his photos on this forum. Frikkie Gerber our driver made our Class 24 bark as he roared onto the mainlin...

Ian check out our Time Table later in the year. We only have a Time Table until the 21 August at present

At this point they can not even run at 70km/h average. With delays up to twelve hours. So how are they going to travel at those speeds. They should start at 110km/h and see how that goes first

We ran two Easter Bunny trips yesterday. Aimed mainly at the kids saw two full trains. One in the morning and afternoon. Thank goodness the rain held off for all to enjoy the day. Our next run sees us entertaining The Rail Modellers Forum and a film Shoot on the 1st May.

We have 3 5E's rusting here in Bellville a 4E and a 3E

I would like to take a little station like Gouda and turn the old railway building into a restaurant and use the people that stay around there to work in it an impower them, but working with Transnet is a mine field

Back in Cape Town

Continuing on from Allan some pics back at Cape Town

Thanx Adel. I thought it was De Aar area, but then mixing myself up with Witput.

Where exactly is Witpoortjie?

Atlantic Rail is running all the way to Simonstown on Sunday
