Wonderful clip thank you. Of course having been an SAR fireman all around SA I knew these locos well and especially the Red Devil as I worked her many times. In your video I see my great old mate John Gilberthorpe standing chatting at Orange River. That man and i worked together for many years on the footplate. He was a steam legend and did the job to perfection. Thanks for posting
What an awesome video. Even without the education from the narrator it would be a thumbs up. The history and technical aspects were appreciated. The sound of the engine with the fan-driven forced draft was almost preternatural to hear coming from a steam locomotive. For all of the innovations and efficiency of these amazing locomotives we don't actually know how to make them anymore. In the current state of the West it may not be too much longer before we are making them again. Thank you so much. Greatly appreciated.
I first came to know about Red when i saw it on the cover of "Twilihht of South African Steam "by AE Durrandt, a book given to me around mid 1990 by Dad. Being a model train enthusiast, i also own the 1:87(maybe 1:76) model of it.made by Eric Bekker of Bekkerail. Great job on producing this model. However id like to know what minimal allowed radius curve this loco can handle. What is the current status after the 2018 repair/overhaul if possible please
Where was the hotel at De Aar junction where the beds were seldom slept in as the loco enthusiasts spent most of the night hanging out of the window to watch the night movements?
My uncle was a steam engineer back in the day. I remember him saying they would run from Knoxville, Tennessee to Atlanta, Georgia and back again without taking on coal or water. That would be at least 600km/300+mi. Best I can do. Good curiosity question.

Thank you for allowing footage with just the locos talking. Also thank you for detailed engineering history. Excellent video
Excellent thank you from Australia.

Hi Could you please tell me. How far could these loco's travel on one load of coal and water?
The narrator said earlier on it was about 1000km, but that was for the Class 25.

I believe the N & W Y6B Mallet loco burnt 1 ton of coal per mile on steep grades. Coal capacity around 28 tons @@ut000bs
baie interressant !

Ek glo nie eers waar hierdie stoomlokomotiew gewerk het nie want hy is rigting loos.
