We recently were advised that some very special, ex SAR, coaches were in danger of being scrapped in the Ladybrand area. These two coaches, which have been used for many years as part of a BnB, needed to be moved for new developments.

OK 11112 Ermyntrude
After a successful gauging test two more locos have been passed to run on Sandstone’s shorter system, Seb’s Railway. These are O&K 0-6-0WT 11112 of 1925, “Ermyntrude” and O&K 0-6-0WT 12140 of 1930, “Anna”. These locomotives along with other locomotives were acquired from Fazenda Tentativa Sugar Estate in Caxito, Angola.
We recently hosted the FarRail Group from Germany for a day and a half at Sandstone during a break in their 3’6’ gauge activities with 25NC 3437 and 15F 2976. The tour was co-hosted by the New Cape Central Railway in South Africa.

We thought you would enjoy this picture of the smallest locomotive in the Sandstone fleet and the largest. The 1919 built 0-4-0ST “Little Bess” and the 1968 built (and modified in 1990) NGG16A Garratt locomotive number 155. Truly the largest and smallest!
