Some pics here of 2650 on her way to Cullinan last Friday, 19 November.
As you can see, we are still getting mileage out of the 150 year headboard!

Nice... but that last coach ruins the lines of that classic consist. Photoshop it out :-) seriously though, I hope you guys can get your hands on more of those subs, they are stunning inside.
Not quite on the rails.

Derek, I know... but revenue comes first! We in fact have 10 in all of those old "subs", eight in service and two still in restoration. Unfortunately, these are now rare, we know of no more readily available, which is why we occasionally use a main-line sitter. Outeniqua has some, but heaven knows what is happening there and I guess if they were available, the queues for them would stretch to Cape Town and back!
