While work continues on the boiler in Pretoria, Gert Jubileus and his team have been busy at the Sandstone restoration facility.
The loco has been out of service since 2000 when its boiler ticket expired at ACR so 20 years of accumulated grime had to be removed.
The front tank which was removed from the loco on arrival at Sandstone in 2002 has been brought up to the workshop for refurbishment.
