| Post subject: | SAR Class - Red Devil - 3450 |
Hello, There are some new videos posted on Youtube of the Red Devil by Trevor Staats. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99MADUckaQQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYM0Ur_BOWE&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_APxKlMfORU&feature=related The videos are nice quality. The scenery in the vidoes is wonderful. On the 3rd video, something was not right. The video poster stated the packing was leaking....must have been the pistion rod. The blow-by seemed on both sides also. I thought the cylinder cocks were open. The first two videos were filmed on later dates and it did seem to be corrected. Hopefully the 3450 will be saved and hopefully restored to her original as-rebuilt condition as shown in the attached photo. (Of course its very hard to keep bright orange paint clean on the frame and running gear!) http://www.trainweb.org/tusp/pics/Red%20Devil%201983_1984%20Hannes%20Paling%20resize.jpg I guess it still is safely tucked under Monument Station in Capetown.....for now. Regards, Randy |
