Friends of the Rail Forum

Even with Covid-19 still raging, Sandstone Estates was able to host a spring event from 19-22 November 2020, attended by hundreds of rail and transport enthusiasts, all wearing facemasks and practicing social distancing. This was a smaller event than the Stars of Sandstone event held in 2019, and which attracted visitors and specialists from all over the world. The Sandstone Heritage Trust, based near Ficksburg, has a large collection of working railway heritage (engines and coaches from different eras), working heritage farming vehicles, stationary engines, military vehicles, ox wagons, classic cars, traction engines and other less familiar items.
