How beautiful

[luvmostmusic]

Great video, but let's remember that this magnificent class of loco was designed by the North British Locomotive Company in Scotland. And that only some of them were sub-contracted to Henschel for building.

Dear Barend,

I have seen some big steam engines in Spain, but I assure you that your South African trains are as big as any in every respect. I have put a link to this video from my site.

Please keep me posted as to your plans to delight us with more of these impressive videos.

Yours cordially,

Juan Manuel Grijalvo

Now that's what I call narrow gauge! More please!

Have to agree with prentonpimp. Seriously heavy metal on the move. Very clean exhaust. Is this a preserved loco?

Thank you for posting, Hugh the Railmon

Yes this loco was recently repaired and put back into service. Anther 3 25NC's has been secured from the Warrenton dump for Rovos to be restored for mainline passenger use.

Greetings, Barend.

Is this the same German 'Henschel' which built WWII tanks, planes and missles?

[trainssa]

Yes it is Henschel & Sohn, Kassel, Germany.
