It's the owners preferred colour, and I think he might have had quite a lot left over after his Garratt No. 132 was painted!

Sheff liked The Gricing Owl's post in the thread Photographing steam in the Karoo.
Those 25NC were wonderful Cape Gauge (3 ft 6 inch) mixed traffic 4-8-4s. Below is 3467 on the 21 coach up Oranje Express on 12 July 1991. Some years after the train was dieselised, but returned to steam sometimes towards the end as part of the...

Sheff liked torgormaig's post in the thread 6024 King Edward 1.
That's all very well for the driver but makes life very difficult for the fireman. The driver stays in one place but the firemans job entails him moving about the cab, needing room to swing his shovel and also keep a good lookout from his side of...

Sheff liked 2857Harry's post in the thread 6024 King Edward 1.
Not at the moment but that doesn’t mean to say they won’t. And frankly good on LSL for stepping up and doing it. The ORR are heavily focussed on working at height and falls from height, and I don’t suspect it would be viewed kindly if a person or...
