Cymdeithas Rheilffordd Eryri

The Restoration of  NG15 Class Locomotive №134

Cymdeithas Rheilffordd Eryri, also known as the Welsh Highland Railway Society, is currently restoring to service the NG15 class narrow gauge locomotive number 134, formerly of South African Railways. This website will be tracking the restoration of the locomotive as it is brought back into active service.

The locomotive is being restored at Dinas for use on the Welsh Highland Railway in North Wales where there are currently a number of other ex South African Railways locomotives in operation in the form of NGG16 class Garratts.

CAD drawing view of how 134 could look especially as regards the tender.

The NG15s, also sometimes known as Kalaharis, were popular engines with their South Africa crews and were capable of stable running in both forward and reverse. This has led to them being regarded as an ideal choice for the WHR. The view above gives an idea of how it will look, especially as regards a modified tender for improved rearwards visibility.
