Thanks, good to see some pictures of Garratt's (not Barratt's) in Africa again Roger. I was a fireman on Garratt's in Rhodesia back in the 60's. The 59's were the largest Garratt's in Africa and our class 20A's were the next. We also had 14,14A,15,15A,16, 16A,20 and 20A class Garratt's. The only ones I never fired was the 16 and 16A class. 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.
