This video was produced by Frameline Productions to celebrate the Kalahari Sunrise photographic event held at Sandstone Estates in South Africa in 2012. The video captures the essence of the event which celebrated the use of Sandstone's 1931 NG15 type 2ft narrow gauge locomotive, South African Railways number 17, built by Henschel in Germany for the 2ft gauge railway system in South West Africa.
The Kalahari Sunrise event also showcased a variety of Sandstone's other 2ft narrow gauge steam locomotives working different types of trains and was one of the many events that led up to perfecting the template for photographic excursions on The Sandstone Steam Railway.
Kalahari Sunrise was the forerunner of the series of Stars of Sandstone events that ran from 2013 to 2019.
