Gorgeous to see 1007 and 1056 operating. They made such a sight, in their backdated appearances. I doubt we shall see them steam again, so how happy I was to find this film of them operating.
The pairing of GMAM and GL garratt locomotive is like taking 2 19D's and class14 'mountain' making 4 of them to the train that would have been easy for either GMAM or GL to handle. That pairing of the 2 garratt locos which were amongst the most powerful in SAR history was extravagant.(2023.11.20-11:35-soacalled South Africa)

Wonderful, is the second Garratt a GL?
Hi Nigel, Yes it is 1929 built GL2351 from the George Museum where it had been on display cold just 2 days before. Glad you enjoyed the video.
