New Additions!
As there are now quite a large number of photos on the site, it is becoming difficult to find newly added shots to established collections, so in future I will add new shots here for a few days before transferring them to their relevant collections. Newly added collections will continue as before - I hope that makes sense!

SAR No. 3781, Germiston, 19th August 1972
South Africa. At this time, quite a few engines were still 'Single-Manned', i.e. each driver had his own engine, and some took great pride in the appearance of their charge. The driver (and presumably the fireman also) of this S2 Class 0-8-0 shunter, No. 3781, was one such and this engine is obviously beautifully kept, with shining paintwork, polished copper and brass, and a few embellishments. Germiston shed, Saturday 19th August 1972. Slide No. 8626.
