Post by: capeklr on February 12, 2023, 01:19:15 PM

Hi all,

I had the pleasure of a guided tour of the Bellville loco depot yesterday.
I also have a few photos to share proving my attendance.  :)
Unfortunately a lot of the loco's are very run down.  :(

Some loco lost its brake levers.
This just proves that finding the odd loco part on the tracks of our layout is fully
prototypical.  :thumb: :biggrin:

Class 35.
Fuel tank of the 35 with a detail shot of the fuel gauge.
Only 7000 liters.  :eek:
