Thanks, Gabor, for finding and posting these. I've split them from the previous thread and created a new thread to give them the prominence they deserve.

As I write this (1515 Tuesday 22 June 2010), 3117 has just passed Van der Merwe en route back to Capital Park, being towed by a pair of diesels, with our fitter Robert Dadford on the loco.
