It’s the MX tender and usually came only with the final iteration Class 19s. It seems like they paired one with this engine indicating that the Class 19 that they swiped it from is either non-operational or scrapped. You’ll see that the other Class 25NC that’s it’s pulling has its original tender
Gauge is 3 feet 6 inches. The barb wire is to deter vagrants from wandering between the staged locos and help themselves to brass and copper. This is South Africa, the land where you take what you want without asking, because the law "protects you". If we want to preserve stuff, we must fight fort it.😔
The Kimberly is a beautiful; am I correct in assuming that she is a South African locomotive?
The tender is longer than most locos

Great to see a 25NC in steam..
Do you know the reason for the Brake Test? It seems the engine has vacuum brakes?
I think coaches behind locomotive have vacuum brakes. Locomotive itself has mechanical brake.
Beautifull whats the track gauge ? Why is there barb wire between 2 units near the end at 20:20 ?
