G'day Syd,
I have squizzed video shot of soot belchers stomping around in Africa.
It amazed me that many regions would cop frigid conditions over nite.
Huge frosts on the ground.
I presume that many South African pas jobs had steam heated carriages.
Yer loading gauge was also wider than that permitted in our Bananaland here.
There is still some ex South African soot belcher parked up near Cairns.
Kiwis had acquired it with the notion of using it on the Kuranda Line.
TOO wide for the tunnels up there.
Steve.
