I do despair for humanity. The Judaeo Christian Culture I was brought up in does value science technology and being responsible and a good citizen. Globalists are destroying this through Islam and other Cults like BLM. Stay true to your culture and don't let the Globalists win.

Les, thanks for fantastic videos. Coming from the old steam environment I tried to share these videos with the younger generation in my family who were deprived of the steam experience. Do you have copyright on your videos or is permissible to use a portion of a video and to add for instance a specific song or music just to add to a specific atmosphere. Regards. Chris.

If African people, the buying force of SA, were included...the train would have been viable. It's true, (white) people in South Africa are not public transport orientated, except those of them who are the poor and sensible to share public transport, and obviously Africans who have since and always been accommodative....

When I was a kid, we were friends with the Station Master of Sarnia station near Pinetown, KZN. I often saw him do double arm token exchanges on Express electric units. Occasionally a steam unit came through. I remember on a few occasions travelling from Dbn to Park Rynie pulled by a steam loco. My dad always told us never to look out of the windows facing the unit because you get soot and coal dust in your eyes, we always did and we always got soot and dust in our eyes. LOLS Good memories.

This just popped up in my recommendation feed and brought back some great memories. I was on this tour, my second trip to SA, which was not that easy in those days with the sanctions still in place (I ended having to fly from Oz to Jo'burg via Singapore and London Must have been mad 😂. It's all gone now, the marvellous collection of locomotives, the historic rolling stock and the entire opportunity of being able to do it again. Thanks for the memories...

@@lespivnic Sorry. I don't want to ridicule anything about South Africa it's people or railways. I visited in 1994 and admired South Africa as a country that had an excellent railway system. It reflected the values of the European settlers building the country up. I have every respect for the Indigenous Black and Mixed Race people too whom I met and hoped their country would become a High Income country for all. They all valued education. South Africa has this potential. As usual Politicians let us down.
