Thank you Les for these great clips. That shot of 16DA 879 at Heidelberg was Piet and myself on the footplate. I got down and let my mate Brian fire in the sidings at Heidelberg while I took almost the same shots as in your clip. Perhaps it is mine or were we standing alongside one another. Its all great stuff from the good old days. Thanks again, Richard
Still the best train by a long way on South African railways.Number 1 in my book definately.
Thanks for sharing these videos Les, so glad the channel has come alive

Great clip cool to c all those classic sar trains on the rails👍
Thanks Pete! Les
I love seeing those 12e locomotives in action. They never lived up to their potential but at least they got some dignity before their end.
I loved watching this so so much. Thank you les
Kind regards

These videos are all mine - maybe we were standing alongside each other, Richard.

Dit was die jare toe die mense trots was op hulle werk want hulle het geweet hoe om te werk nie soos die ander van, vandag nie geen trots

Alles het gewerk nie gesteel of knaend net vir meer geld geskreeu dit was arm maar trotse mense!!
