Rodepoort station plinthed Loco

Post by Derek Walker »

I dashed off really early this morning and shot a few shots of the loco at Roodepoort station. Surprisingly enough there is still a plaque on her, but its obscured by a makeshift plastic roof erected by the local purveyor of suspicious vegetables. What I can glean from the plaque is...

Loco 750, classs 10BR, Built 1910, entered service 1910, withdrawn 1972, built by North British Loco Co Ltd.

She is in suprisingly good condition, if somewhat festooned by the usual hawker detritus and rubbish. I couldnt get into the cab because it was currently "occupied". If anybody does want larger copies of these pics for the record please drop me a message.
