What a fascinating find. Thanks for posting that, Alex.
If you visit some of the Welsh railways, you will sooner or later come across some South African steam.
One of our mighty Garratts (3ft 6in gauge) is running in that country, while a 2ft-gauge loco nicknamed a Kalahari (SA Railways Class NG15) and bearing the name Granny Smith is on another line thereabouts.
And at the time of D-Day there was an immense build-up of locos and rolling stock in southern England that was carried across to Mulberry Harbour and put to use on the French railways as the Allies advanced. It would be interesting to know what classes were involved and what examples survive.
Regards,
Mike
