    Evening All,

    Some of you might be interested in the latest pictures of steam in South Africa in 1972 that I have recently added to my Flickr site. This is the first one; clicking on it will enlarge it and take you to the others :

    They can also be found in the 'South Africa - 1972' Collection; see Set 2 :

    Collection: South Africa - 1972

    A friend of mine lived in South Africa for ten years and was well placed to photograph the dying days of steam. He has recently opened a Flickr website with some South African pictures on. There are many more still to come but if you haven't seen those already on there, they are here :

    Collection: South Africa

    Hope that you find them of interest.

    As always Ron some very interesting shots.. There are those who cannot see the point in posting links to collections of motive power from the past, but it is valuable archiving, and some day peole will look back and be thankful for those like yourself who preserve these pictures for the future.
