Certainly not dumped.

Undercover and safe in Cape Town.

Excellent thanks I can see them now.

Can you please repost these photos?

All three locos and some rolling stock still exist today.

Hi Neil

Please email me photos of the dining car, I may be able to assist you.

I will seek confirmation on this.

The rear two wagons derailed at what looks like facing points at Faure. Certainly no evidence elsewhere of a derailment.
Passenger services were running between Strand + Firgrove with a bus service between there and Eersterivier.

excellent pics!

Can someone please provide me with the paint codes for the colours used on the subbies?

Looks superb.

What type of paint is used?

Meanwhile the sole surviving GDA locomotive continues to disintegrate outside the station. This should go to George where it could be cosmetically restored to a point and later on cladding etc could be added.

Unlikely - far more meat for TFR to sell the other types to industry than preserve them.

Interesting then what do they intend to end up with?

Class 43
Class 18E
Class 35
Class 19E

Only 2701 and 3484 are for sale.

Eventually locos wear out so it should not be unexpected.

What are the exact colour codes for the red and grey?
