| Post subject: | Red Devil Trip - Ceres Rail - This Weekend |
Hello, Look like Ceres will be getting the 3450 out and about this weekend on a 3 day round trip from Cape Town to Robertson, starting today. Wishing them well as last year's trip had some challenges, as I recall, possibly a valve ring failure. Hoping they work to bring her back closer to the full Class 26 performance tune. They have a good design foundation to work with. It's good to see the Class 25's (in this case ex class 25) get a work out. They may have had the 3450 out for a proving run earlier this spring which may be shown in this video. Assuming it's this year, I don't think they double headed it last year. Could be wrong. Minimal public information is available on its operations. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KZgCRNegc2o All the best to Ceres. Regards, Randy |

Hello, Scratch the first post. Looks like the 3450 had issues again based on the comment in the attached video posted yesterday. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nFM_tbMmk_4 Regards, Randy |
