The boiler of our rare 1899 built 3.5 ton Decauville loco has passed its hydraulic test and reassembly of the locomotive can continue. This is a major step forward in the restoration and the first time the boiler has been tested since the 1920s, it being placed in the sugar estate museum in 1930.
It’s a great credit to Lukas Nel and his team that this very elderly locomotive is making such good progress towards a return to service using so many original parts.
