  • wonderful loco, just like its bigger brothers.

  • a little turbo in the engine

  • lovely loco! is is scratch built? Has anyone done drawings / castings for one of these? Is this in UK?

  • Hi,

    Yes, scratch built in South Africa and brought to UK (Scotland). I have works drawings on CD for Class 15F 4-8-2 which is almost identical. There are no castings commercially available but one could use 4-8-2 Mikado or Mountain Heavy USA castings.

  • nice nice video and locomotive i need one of those hehe

  • lol it isnt a model its the real thing lol using a guy to make it small haha

  • amazing.

    how do you make a 7 1/4 sounds like the real thing???!!?? jsut mad

  • Andy,

    It's not 7 1/4, it is 5" Gauge!

  • My mistake.

    that even more impressive that its a 5".

  • Andy, if you look at my videos page you will hear what my 3 1/2" Gauge 16DA sounds like in total darkness and there is a clip of a 7 1/4" SAR loco as well as a 9 1/4" - now that sounds like the real thing on the last 15 seconds of video!

    Cheers

  • Wow thats amazing, its sounds just like the real thing! South african steam at its best.

  • I have sat at the controls of that loco and driven her round the track at Eastcote down in London... she is a beauty alright!

  • Hi,

    When did you do this? As far as I know the loco resides in Scotland and only comes down to London for the SARSPA Meet.

  • Hey,

    This was on June 16th last year... we travelled down from Milton Keynes to see Richard because we hadn't seen him since 1997. It was at a big gathering of South African steam locomotives - come to think of it, it might have been a SARSPA meet? Not sure...

  • Hi,

    Yes, probably at the SARSPA Meet. I'm the founder and organiser, there is another one at Harrow & Wembley MES 21,22nd June in the same place as last year.

    Regards

    Bryn
