Worcester (Cape) Museum

Photos of locomotives and stock plinthed - can be steam, electric, diesel locomotives or other stockn items! Photos should be 800x600 pixels, maximum size 130K. Very good ones will be moved to the Online Gallery, the rest will be pruned away eventually 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.

Worcester (Cape) Museum

Narrow gauge tank loco Bessie and 15F 2994 at Worcester Museum. The siding to the diesel depot is still there, but overgrown and fenced off in places. So still possible to recover the 15F or move an additional loco to the museum. No 2994 is complete and in beautiful condition.

Nice details of the inside of 15F 2994, yes, she is in excellent condition ... she backed in under own power to her present position ... still carries a full load of coal ... unfortunately the water tender rusted through in due time :(
