Anyone know why GEA centre unit 4043 was retained at Waterval Boven?

I think it was a spare for museum purposes. What has happened to it?

Think its still there.

Anything left on it or the one at Witbank to assist in restoring 4022 at Millsite?

The Witbank one is useless except possibly for motion. It is rotten through and looks pathetic.

Chris J should have and I will ask Miemie, as we last looked at them when we ran the Witbank Marathon in August 2007.
