This is your best yet I think sir! The dual 060 combo's are my favourite, and I caught a few of them on my visit back in 2014. They look tough and cool and having the side rods gives them animation. Catching the wheelslips was great ...as you wouldn't get on other bogie style locos! Was that a heay train or grass on the rails? The bogie bins are cool as well...nice to see them catching on in the cane fields. Thanks again for catching the "Cane Critters". Gregg.
Thanks Gregg! They're pretty cool units. I think the wheelslip was due to a heavy load and dew on the rails - the sun hadn't been up long enough to dry everything out. The locos had a bit of touble pulling the bins out of the siding initially as well. They certainly pile the cane up in the bins!
