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.
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.
