Steam locomotive GMAM Garratt gallops from Deepdale to Donnybrook

Between 1954 and 1958, the South African Railways placed 120 Class GMA Garratt articulated steam locomotives with a 4-8-2+2-8-4 Double Mountain type wheel arrangement in service. All the locomotives could be configured as either a Class GMA branch line or a Class GMAM mainline engine. This was the most numerous Garratt class in the world.

Just love those GMAM Garratts. Watched them climb up Outeniqua pass as child. Good memories of good old days when everything was 100% functional.v
