O&K 11112 is a favourite with our younger visitors on Seb’s Heart of Africa Railway. Picture by Sandstone.
We tend to think that 1925 was not that long ago but it is now 100 years ago and two of our steam locomotives have just celebrated their 100th birthday!
On the 2ft gauge system we have O&K 0-4-0WT number 11112, which was rescued from Fazenda Tentativa Sugar in Angola where it was their number 5. It last saw service in Angola in 1969 and was returned to working order by Lukas Nel and his team at Bloemfontein in 2016.
