I will be posting a few more pictures of the two ladies pictured above. The lady on the left is called Janine. She is a class 15F, built in +/- 1947. Back in the day she pulled the train used when Queen Elizabeth (then princess) visited South Africa. The lady on the right is called Susan. She is a class 12AR, built in +/- 1919. She is slightly smaller and is equipped with somewhat smaller wheels and short-stroke cylinders. She has put a number of newer, more powerful engines to shame when it comes to getting and keeping heavy trains moving. Probably because of her smaller wheels and shorter stroke.
