The East African Railways had oil fired loco's, but all the Rhodesian Railways loco's were coal fired. Only the 20, 20A classes had a worm and steam jet firing system.
Hi DSY011
I kept correcting the autospell function. I must have missed some .... my apologies!

I have now been through Post 3 and corrected the misspelling! Thanks for pointing it out.
Roger
