This little "train" is plinthed outside the old Standard Bank Building in Johannesburg on the corner of Main Street.

Didn't know any of these were preserved.

Actually quite nice to see this. Perhaps one day it will end up in Hermanstad.
By the way, the old diesel loco at the PPC works in Hercules, would make a nice exhibit.

The whole area where she is plinthed is really amazing to see, they have an original stamp battery and headgear very close by, as well as the Oppenheimer fountain was relocated to this area and its all clean and reasonably safe. If only the rest of Johannesburg was the same way.
