The Sandstone Heritage Trust is a private Preservation initiative established on a commercial farm in the Eastern Free State in South Africa. The present owners purchased the farm from the Wille family in 1995. The farm has been in the continuous ownership of the Willes since the 1840's, which means the farm has only had two owners over a period of 170-years.
Since its inception in 1999 the Sandstone Steam Railway has provided plenty of copy for our web site but its full story has never been told.
Sandstone Estates has been the chosen location for numerous film shoots over the years. These have ranged from Feature Films, including a number of “Bollywood” productions, Corporate and launch video productions, Music Videos, International News features and over 130 productions, on our world famous 2ft narrow gauge railway, featured on the YouTube channel.
