One of my workmates discovered her and another one went to photograph her. I will have more pics on Monday, but here she is.

There are 2 coaches Dylan, and I believe they arent in too great a condition. The pics were not forthcoming today.. hopefully tomorrow. I believe she may be a twin of the Florida Junction Loco.

The question I have is... what is the hole between the last drive wheel and the trailing wheel? couldnt that have been another drivewheel? could this not have been a converted 4-10-2T?

From Piet Conradie...
"This is old Crown Mines No. 8 (NBL 24520 /1938), it was transferred by Rand Mines from Crown Mines to ERPM in about 1979 for spares but was never used there. It went to Bokkie Park in 1997"
Strange, the spares outlived the rest.

The historical information for the loco should be credited to John Middleton ... thanks John!
