Union of South Africa (Loco)

[JohnC6]

I went to Crofton,Wilts to catch this loco yesterday. Those in the know will be aware that A4s don't come into the SW Midland/SW very often. It's a pity it didn't have any smoke but I thought I'd post it anyway for the steam enthusiasts. It was only doing about 50mph too. I hope to get it trackside next Sunday but the forecast isn't good.

Nice job!
I got up close and personal with UoSA at the Bury sheds when the loco was having a drive wheel and suspension refit.
There's a couple of pics on my flickr. She's a fantastic loco!
