Racing Steam part 1(Kimberley to De Aar)

Here I have made up a few clips of the once very busy Kimberley to De Aar railway in South Africa. The large 25NC 4-8-4s were the mainstay of the steam fleet that worked both goods and passenger trains on this fast section but as you will see there are a few other classes also.
Al these clips were taken by my good friend Ron Cousins who I sadly lost contact with when steam ended in Kimberley in 1992. I have been unable to ever contact him again and so rather than his clips lay around in my box I decided to let the world see what steam was all about on this once wonderful famous mainline.
Ron, if you do get to see these clips then please contact me.
Unfortunately the clips have become rather worn and the picture is not great but at least the sound is still good so turn up the volume and listen to that beat!!
