Sandstone's Bloemfontein workshops have been operational now for over 12-years and have restored over 20 locomotives. Apart from one, which is the incorrect gauge for our line, these have been maintained at Sandstone Estates in the Eastern Free State. However, due to capacity issues and the fact that the annual cost of keeping boiler certificates valid is so expensive we have decided to diversify and consider carrying out work for international customers.
The standard of our work has been well accepted in Germany where one locomotive has been successfully rebuilt and exported.
