Leith Paxton, who has a formidable reputation as a steam locomotive expert archivist, author and producer of high quality drawings, has sent us these incredibly interesting pictures of our Kalahari.
We publish them with Leith’s comments below:
“I was recently scanning a batch of 36mm B&W negs which I do not think I have ever printed up and came across these of No.19, your NG15, and thought you would like them.
There were taken on New Years Day 1966 (when we were all a lot younger!) and appear to be a special, shortly before the ‘Apple Express’ was inaugurated. I have numbered them in the order that I took, from Theescombe to the Loerie bank and thought they worked well together. Of course, typical 35 sharpness, but with modern digital enhancement methods, they have come up well, I think. Enjoy! “
