Sandstone Heritage Trust - A very special gathering of steam and
railway enthusiasts was held on 28th / 29th June 2008.
The occasion was the launch of our latest restoration project, namely the
Falcon locomotive "Lawley", No. NG97. This significant 2-ft
Narrow Gauge locomotive will join its sister locomotive, Lawley No. NG106, at
Sandstone Estates to be introduced to enthusiasts from around the world.

Subject: RE: LAWLEY WEEKEND
Thank
you, and the entire Sandstone team – it was really great to get to visit
Sandstone again. Seeing the transformation of both of the Lawley’s from some
20 – 25 years back, as static displays, at the museum and in Roodepoort.
Yes, seeing them in the condition that they are today, and fully operational –
Most rewarding, thanks. Also both operational at once – some milestone!
I do
wish SIA the very best! And I do know that with support all the goals will
be achieved.
I would
like to thank you and the entire Sandstone team for a great, memorable week end
Best
regard,
Charles.

Just to say having seen
the recent pictures of Lawley No 97 in action at Sandstone, my congratulations
to everyone who was involved in it's rebuild and restoration to running order.
Once again, the pictures show that it is another outstanding piece of work by
the Bloemfontein shops and a credit to all involved.
