It's so good to see SAR CLASS 25nc #3437 rolling out and about. I hope it will be perfect for service.

[@EverythingTrains95]

@@KelanRooks thanks for checking in.... You can check out my latest video of the 25NC on its way to Bloemfontein.

[@geoffreydingle2410]

Happy memories of my trip from the UK in 1985 when 25NC's held sway between Kimberly and De Aar and Bloemfontein and Behlehem

[@EverythingTrains95]

Happy memories! Wish you could relive them again!🙏🏿

[@fritz46]

I remember seeing 25 NCs running between Upington and Karasburg where the line is close to the road at some points. It must have been around 1980.

[@rupertmcnaughtdavis3649]

Thanks for the video! We'll done!

[@AndreiTupolev]

Looks great in unrepainted 'working' condition. They ought to keep her like that

[@nigellennert8967]

Very nice to see some steam action again

[@EverythingTrains95]

Hopefully we see some more of her!

[@tardis9326]

This bought a real tear to my eye after all these years. Chdhood memories rekindled. And peter odell walking alongside her towards the end of the footage seeing a 25 year dream becoming a reality ❤❤

[@EverythingTrains95]

Thank you TARDIS ...glad we could bring back memories 🙏🏿

[@robertfuller4282]

Lovely to see ..send her to New Zealand on a tour

[@EverythingTrains95]

I wish we could!

[@charlo90952]

Axle loading is too high for NZ rails. You have at least one inoperable 25NC in NZ.

[@EverythingTrains95]

Hi Mielawalt thanks for your comment.
This 25NC (3437) was being prepared for a German tour organised by Farrail Tours and Steamnet2000. The tour took place from 25th of June to the 30th June 2023.
Please subscribe I might compile a few short videos of the tour thank you.

[@DillonTrinhProductions]

Will the 25nc be operating excursions this year?

[@EverythingTrains95]

Hopefully 🙏🏿

[@jacquesleroux5069]

I'll quit my job to go polish that loco!

[@EverythingTrains95]

Please we need more hands! If you are around Kimberley tell me!

[@steverob7637]

What was the purpose of this "brake test"?
Does anyone know?

[@EverythingTrains95]

It's for a possible German trip that might take place at the end of June 2023.
