2702 parked by the coal.

Photos of Rovos Rail! Photos should be 800x600 pixels, maximum size 130K. Very good ones will be moved to the Online Gallery, the rest will be pruned away after 14 days to conserve space. If you have photos of FOTR Engines and Stock, please post them in the FOTR Gallery in the Friends of the Rail Forum above.

Now that she has been withdrawn will she be repaired or placed on display?

Has this engine been withdrawn? I thought it was still in operation?

Both 2701 & 2702 have been withdrawn from Rovos duties, and as far as I am aware, and stand to be corrected here, both loco boilers need major rebuilding as well as the under-carriage of both locos need to be totally renewed before they will ever see the main-line operations with Rovos again.

I hope that this will be the case in the not too distant future!
