| Gert is Sandstone’s expert workshop manager and Loco driver. He writes up the superb weekly steam shed report and makes sure it’s ready to go straight onto the web on time; every week. He’s one of the friendliest people I know. The staff here have a nickname for him, “The White Stallion”. You would understand watching him at full steam with the wind blowing through his hair! Gert truly loves his work, and you can see the passion and knowledge that goes into it.
Gert is always extremely accommodating; whether it’s with staff, or the many visitors who come to Sandstone at event times, always ready to help. Whether he’s fixing the piston rings on one of the locos, or steaming down the track, he’s always professional. Gert fell in love with steam whan he was a little boy, watching the locos steam past and being picked up by the drivers; who allowed him to stand on the footplate. He is still in love with what he does! We are proud to have someone like Gert on the team, thanks Gert! |
