NGG11 No 52 update.
Lukas Nel and his Bloemfontein team have completed the interior fittings of the cab of No 52 as the restoration of the locomotive moves forward towards a steam test later this year.
Also under construction is an auxiliary water tank for No. 52 as the locomotive is quite light footed and the small front tank is needed to be kept full for adhesion purposes.
The oldest Garratt locomotive in South Africa and the second oldest in the world, will make its debut at the Stars of Sandstone event in April next year.
