In the book The Great Steam Trek about the South African Railways Sezela no 4. is depicted working sugar cane trains late 1960s, now in her preserved state she still looks like back then apart from being more shiny of course.
Chaloner is quite special, not only for being the only surviving De Winton locomotive and vertical boiler, but also because it's maybe the only type of locomotive where the crew doesn't have a proper foot plate to stand on but has to hang onto the engine.

Thank you for that piece of information. Meanwhile I hope you enjoyed my video.

Chaloner is not the only survivng De Winton locomotive. Five are preserved and another remains on a mountainside in North Wales.
