Ep 14 - A Local Hidden Gem and Steam Railway Happenings

Today we visit a hidden gem in Sandton, Gauteng - The Hayworth Model Railway. We went to see a Class 15F being tested for a FarRail Tour which is visiting South Africa during July. Our Botswana correspondent - Thabiso Masilo - talks a bit on Botswana Railway's Network and we also showcase Wonder Steam Trains, who have recently partnered with New Cape Central Railways and have access to the National Railway Network.

Great work,gents. So many things to like about this video.
1.It's good to see steam locomotives on the rise again,that 15f in green looks so good.
2. The rare sight of a class 45 diesel loco.
3. Steam traction making a return to Gauteng with WST
4. The collaboration with out friend from Botswana was a really nice addition
5. The attention to detail on hayworth model railway. RIP to Karel jasper
Great video all around

Thanks for watching Marval! You are correct, the 15F is green, we believe it will be painted black. Green is certainly a difference to the usual Black.
It was our first time seeing and hearing the Class 45 in person, there was also an AFRO4000, if you look at the back of the picture of Bloemfontein Loco, you can just make it out.
Yes, its great learning from Thabiso! I thought the network was much larger. Though, with TFR issues, it is my understanding that investors want to build a new line through Botswana, guess we just have to wait and see?
Indeed, very meticulous detail - I spent the day there from 12 to 17h30, it was great fun. I did not have a way of nicely recording it, but the layout components such as points and turntable are controlled by the computer - very col!
