    Hello!:)

    The South African railway class 26, more known as "The Red Devil" the worlds most powerful narrow gauge steam locomotive is a well known legend.

    I found this video on YouTube from the early stage after her rebuilding, clearly shows her capabillity!




    regards

    Just the sound! That's some "stack talk", like a heavy machine gun.
    The sound of a really good front end.

    The Wikipedia entry isn't very complimentary sadly, considering it is the worlds most thermally efficient steam loco & has the record for the highest sustained power output from a non articulated locomotive
