Easter Bunny Specials

Post by Stefan Andrzejewski »

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.

3655 going around to push the train into Monument station. A Metro leaves Cape Town for Bellville. Note no head light on

Stefan, Thank you for the pictures.

I really like the last one with the "steam Metro" :-)

When I watch the pictures I (not only these specific pictures) wonder when or why get the steam locos in South Africa the number on the front?
All pictures I have with steam locos in service (as I know) are without the number on the front.

I think it's a good idea with the number on the front.

I had been talking off line with Luca already on the possible dates for travel as the trip is designed to coincide with whale watching off Cape Aghulas in September.
Being retired I have some flexibility so I'm not making firm reservations yet.
