It is for that very reason that I posted the report Phil. It gladdens my hart to see these old carriages restored and run where they can. Britain is very lucky in that they started the railways and the fact that some people had the presents of mind to save some of the old rolling stock and other railway memorabilia in such large numbers. Unfortunately we have lost some of the rolling stock and other railway related things, but I do think that Britain has some of the best memorabilia in the world. The USA, NZ, Europe and Australia have also saved a lot but I'm afraid Africa has a very poor record when it comes to saving their railway heritage, non more so than Zimbabwe (old Rhodesia), who have trashed about 98% of their steam locos, all their electric locos and a lot of their diesel locos.
