Thank you Wayne. you trully did a great job! As steam loco enthusiast I would very much like to see a condensing steam engine restoration. I love their particular sound! Was the RED DEVIL previously a condensing engine? Speaking now about something else, I invite you to watch the following videos from my channel: 1. Steam in Romania at the beginning of the 1970s and in 1995; 2. Steam in South Africa in the 1980s; 3. Steam in Eastern Europe by the end of 1960s; 4.Steam in Eastern Europe in the 1990s; 5.CFR Steam Locomotives at Budapest[15 July 1996]; 6.Baldwin-built CFR 140.117 at Budapest in 2004. 7. And not least but last, the Rail Away episodes shot in Africa(Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe(. Greetings from central Romania!
Thank you Cornel, I only saw your reply now. You have some very nice content on channel. To answer your question the Red Devil was never a condenser. The RD is number 3450 the last of the original non condenser's. The first condenser is number 3451 and 90 of them were built.
Wow, what memories! I was the engineer in charge of its conversion from a 25-class NC to the renamed 26-class, in Salt River Mechanical Workshops of the then South African Railways in 1980-81 - Johan Slabbert
Absolute M-A-G-I-C!!! I remember in the early 80's being in Bloem after only being in the country a couple of months and from the hotel heard the eerie steam whistle. Gosh! A steam train thought I and a mad dash (on foot) to the station whereupon the magnificent 'Red Devil' was about to depart into the night... Goose bumps all over again - BIG thanks to EVERYONE for keeping this treasure running and sharing video. Sincerely Nigel L. Rotherham
South Africa never ran steam engines on oil. In fact one of the reasons they kept steam around for so long was they had domestic coal reserves but very little oil, and with increasing pressure from international sanctions they didn't want to be dependent on foreign imports.
Notice how small an amount of exhaust smoke there is. That's efficiency, almost no unburnt fuel, because of L D Porta's work on secondary air admission, to improve the combustion.
Very happy to see her on her feet again. I am amazed at how quickly she was restored. Great work to all involved. Here in the States we are still eager for Big Boy 4014's restoration to be completed.
Wayne Nauschutz I was at the UP Steamshop for Cheyenne Depot Day in May. It was a cold, wet, miserable weekend but the team was working hard to get 4014 up and running for the 150th anniversary of the completion of the transcontinental railroad. I honestly don’t think they have time for anything more than rudimentary updates. But the high quality of the work being done is astonishing. It’s going to be worth the wait.
I was actively involved with the Red Devil's restoration, did 90% of the machining so I understand the time constraints but I still find it hard to believe that a company the size of UP doesn't have a press photography that can go make a 2 or 3-minute video every few months.
Wayne Nauschutz I was listening to Ed Dickens talk about the project budget while I was in the Steamshop. He mentioned that the budget wasn’t anywhere near as big as most people think and that they have to justify every dollar to UP. It’s also a surprisingly small team who already work their fingers to the bone so there really isn’t any real spare time. But like I said, the end result is going to be worth it. I’ll be making the trip back from Sydney next year to see her (him?) in steam.
Thanks for 'A Transport of Delight' ! I'm a third generation SAR&H employee. My Dad, Fred Donkin was the last worker of the Natal Government Railways when he went on pension after 46 years service ending at Durban Station
Wow.......so good to see the Red Devil in steam once more. After seeing her at shed in Cape Town station a few years back looking abandoned and somewhat forlorn, I am thrilled to see the condition she is in nowadays. Great respect to all involved in restoring this champion of locomotives to its deserved position as a world renowned national treasure of the rails. Well done Wayne, a proud moment well captured.
Well done to all those involved with the restoration and keeping us involved with regular video updates. Looking forward to seeing her ride the rails with beautiful South Africa backdrops. Cheers from Train Lord in Australia.
I’m from Adelaide too. And I love trains. Especially a little blue tank engine that shall remain nameless for copyright reasons. Hey what’s your favourite locomotive from South Australia? Y’know, the SAR that Red Devil *isn’t* from.
It's amazing how a big 4-8-4 can operate on those narrow (3 ft, 6 in) gauge tracks. It was fun to chase the locomotive on a satellite map from Chavonnes to Hermon, especially at Artois with the snow-capped mountain in the background.
What a true beauty, this old girl represents the pinnacle of steam technology. I cant belive that this loco is finally operational again! I cant wait to see more of her in action!

Thanks for putting that up , the way it's been filmed is awesome. I I did a lot of volunteer work at Steamrail Victoria (Australia) in the 90's, and the video brought back some brilliant memories of lighting up R761 for the first time after 2 years of fire box repairs. There's nothing like see you hard work bearing fruit, and the smiles on people's faces when they see their favorite locomotive is going again.
I live in the US, & ive always been fascinated with 3450. I remember reading about it in a book and since then I could never forget it. She reminded me much of the NYCs Niagara 4-8-4s
Must confess, felt quite emotional watching this. An engine I saw in the flesh 27 years ago and have admired since, a great fan of David Wardale's attempt at improving steam traction and his subsequent book of his experiences...a great testament to the man is having this engine live again. Marvellous to see. Oh, and nicely filmed as well thanks Wayne!
My uncle was part off the crew who converted the red devil. He is n steam train fitter from the old salt river days. He said he fitted the turbine if some one knows what it means. He still has old fotos and the last steam engine they build . Blink stefaans.
Que locomotora mas bella ,irradia potencia,el sonido de su silbato y color de la maquina son hermosos,no cabe duda que ver recorrer las rieles a estas obras de arte causa una emoción muy grande,y que a mis 41 años de edad, bueno a mi me gusta y a otras personas seguro también gustan Saludos desde el distrito de independencia- lima- peru
Thanks Wayne, its so nice to see this beast come alive again. My grandpa used to be an engineer on these old steam locos and I'll always have a fond affinity for them.
I teared up at the sight of it racing down the rails. I have Aspergers, and steam locomotives were my obsession as a child, I knew them like an encyclopedia, including this one. This video sparked a feeling I didn't even realize I missed.
Fantastic achievement. A wonderful locomotive. Stunning filming. I am so glad this locomotive hasn't gone the way of so many, a victim of scrap thieves. Long may it steam. I hope to see it working in the future, money permitting. Thanks for sharing this.
I never thought the day would ever comer... its just a pity that they destroyed Wardale, they would have made a stunning double header. Well done to those who had the foresight to keep her safe as she slept for so long.
Great video. Great loco. Had a good look around it in Cape Town, in November 2018, and March 2019, before my ship sailed for Brazil. She is a beauty. Thanks for sharing
Gorgeous ! Just Gorgeous !! The trackage looks really well installed and maintained also ! These restorers are heroes ! Great filming too ! Thanks all of you for keeping 1:1 scale steam alive and preserved for the future ! M. Los Angeles
What gauge please - memory wise 3ft 6 inches ie 1.0668m? That said, life still ok in SA? Your loco is superb! When was it built originally and was it one of a number in same class? Have you any stretch of distance where you could push this loco to its max eg as with our Tornado Pacific that has proved it can reach the ton (100mph) for a few moments…?
What a machine! High-Tec of the finest. It showed what steam engines are able to, if you construct it well and if you give them a chance. It´s a shame it had no future and stayed an unicate.
a thing of beauty is joy for ever, congratulations on your restoration and your beautiful engine, and wonderful scenery. I hope every went well and the engine behaved its self and is running well.
I like the fact that examples of the largest non articulated narrow gauge locos are still in existence. The Denver and rio grande K28, K27, and K36 2-8-2 mikados and this 4-8-4 loco :-D

Making its first main line trip all on its own? In any other country it would have been accompanied by a diesel and a wagon with tools and spare parts. What a wonderful view!
This Steam engine reminds me of Southern Pacific beautiful job on the restoration someday I will have to fly across the ocean to watch the seam engine take to the rails thank you for sharing this video!
Really nice to see one of hte later steam engines of the world get restored, especially since there apparently only one Class 26 ever built (I could be wrong though, but its what I got from Wikipedia) I wish I could see some steam here in Canada but I think they're all in storage or scrapped now. Enjoy your steam engine! Take care of it!
www.kettlevalleyrail.com Search excursion steam railways in Canada. Don't be so pessimistic! Railways built this country, and now it's rebuilding some railways!
F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C! The most important steam locomotive in the World.... It showed the way forward with steam. It is thrilling to see it in action again. Unlimited thanks to all involved in bringing it back to life. Red Devil places Big Boy 4014 in second place as crucial technological artefacts of tremendous historical significance. I am so pleased about this news that words of admiration fail me. Beautiful sound in a beautiful landscape too. Man! How good is this?!
What a breath taking engine and coal tender would have love to see her flying on an open countryside running wide open i bet that would be a sight to behold. thanks

Id like to see this locomotive run in the United States of America
harry Bobb : that will be difficult. The US mostly runs on standard gauge (4ft 8.5in). South African gauge is 3ft 6in.
I had the honour to take part in that first epic three day journey, moneys well spent, stunning !!
It's amazing how a big 4-8-4 can operate on those narrow (3 ft, 6 in) gauge tracks. It was fun to chase the locomotive on a satellite map from Chavonnes to Hermon, especially at Artois with the snow-capped mountain in the background.
