R4627. Although the colliery railways in South Africa often used second hand South African or Rhodesia Railways locomotives, they also bought new locomotives direct from the manufactures. This one was built by the North British Locomotive Company in 1947, but built to the design of the South African Railways 12A Class 4-8-2s which date back to 1919.
However, as they were intended for use on the relatively short mineral lines of the collieries, they did not have the luxury of superheating.
The location is the Landau Colliery south of Witbank in what was then the Transvaal.

Zambian 12th Class 204 had just tried to replenish water at Ngwezi, but the tank was dry. We headed over the recently opened Ngwezi Bridge, replacing the old one seen to the left, and headed for Bombwe, the next water stop en route to Mulobezi. We did not make it, running out of water 96 km from Livingstone. One month later we tried again, that time we reached Mulobezi 24 hours late, having crossed the Bombwe bridge which had not been replaced.1994.

Having passed the dreaded 96.5 km distance post, we arrived at Bombwe. The pump had been repaired and water was available. We could continue, except for the bridge!
This was the third attempt to reach Mulobezi in 1994.

The wagon of coal that I purchased from Hwange Colliery arrived at Victoria Falls on the morning of our departure to Zambia. Number 204 came over from Livingstone to load enough coal to start the journey, the rest of the wagon load - about 60 tons, cross into Zambia on my train declared tom Zambian Customs as my personal baggage. Their argument was that they compared it to a road vehicle, you can take fuel across the border in your vehicle's fuel tank, or in a jerry can, but you need an import permit to take it in a fuel tanker. I owned the train, so it was my personal fuel supply!!
Two weeks after the second trip into Zambia we headed out again, this time for Mulobezi with 12th Class 204, recovered and ready with additional water and coal supplies.
This was the third attempt to reach Mulobezi in 1994.
We left Mulobezi at sunset, retracing our steps to Livingstone.
This was the third attempt to reach Mulobezi in 1994.
We had travelled overnight from Livingstone to Ngwezi, and were attempting to fill the tender before continuing to Bombwe. The pump was not working, and so we attempted to reach the next watering point art Bombwe. (We had spares for the Bombwe water pump on board, and had no idea if the supply there would work). Good old 204 ran out of water half way, we waited for the rest of the day for a diesel from Livingstone to rescue us. We abandoned 204 in the bush, the track was so bad it derailed when it ran backwards. It took a few weeks to push it to the end of the line at Mulobezi, turn it on the triangle and tow it back to Livingstone. One month later, we made it to Mulobezi. 1994.

12th Class 204 crossing the Bombwe Bridge in Zambia in 1994. Note the sag in the bridge - not a printing error, but genuine! I owned the the train behind the locomotive, and this made me rather nervous.

At Ngwezi, taking water using a garden hose. We soon realised that the locomotive was using more water than it was receiving.
A communal water hand pump at a ganger's settlement.

We arrived back in Victoria Falls to the music of a dixie band! We were a day late, and they were waiting for another Rail Safaris train from Bulawayo. Confused, they decided to play just in case.
The first of three attempts to reach Mulobezi in 1994.
Two weeks after our failed attempt to reach Mulobezi we were booked to make a second trip there. However, 12th Class 204 had not yet made it back to Livingstone. As it would not run backwayds, it had to be pushed with a diesel to Mulobezi and then towed back to Livingstone. It takes nearly a week to make a round trip on the line.
The second of our 1994 attempts could go no further than the railway museum at Livingstone, using Zambia's other operating steam locomotive.
We were stranded in the African bush, a long way from rescue. The country was flat, it flooded in the rainy season and was covered in deep holes made by elephant, this made it almost impossible to walk away from the track bed.
The first of three attempts to reach Mulobezi in 1994.
We headed south out of Victoria Falls, heading for Thomson Junction. At Mubiya Siding we took the loop to cross the second Rail Safaris train carrying guests from Bulawayo to Victoria Falls.
This picture is unique, we only ran two trains at the same time once, And this is the only time that they passed each other.
The first of three attempts to reach Mulobezi in 1994.
In the middle of the night there was a bump as the diesel coupled up to my guard's van and started to pull us back to Livingstone. The red coach behind the Van was full of Zambia Railways workers, along to re-rail the coaches when they derailed! After a short distance, the steam locomotive derailed and was abandoned behind the retreating train.
