Thanks for posting, -John Date: 07/20/24 10:15 Re: Steam in South Africa Today Author: tomstp Is that 4-8-4 still a condensing engine? I remember they had those long tenders.
Date: 07/20/24 13:25 Re: Steam in South Africa Today Author: masterphots The tender is the remains after the condensing equipment was removed. Other than a couple of condensers preserved, all were convertered to non-condensing. Tenders were retained and look like this one.
