Congratulations on a beautiful restoration job. In the mid / late 1980s I had my last trip on an RSA steam excursion from Germiston yard pulled by the Melanie. It was also her last trip and sadly she broke down. We suffered the ignominy of being towed back to Johannesburg by a diesel loco.
I was lucky to be able to travel with the reef steamers on Jenine the 15F but unfortunately I was only 2 at the time so I can't remember much. It really is a tragedy that the reef steamers are no more

Rode behind SUSAN on the Reefsteamers Christmas Special 2014, so very sad it's all finished.
Mooi neefs...
