Sandstone Estates NGG16
In July 2001 Sandstone Heritage Trust had their first open weekend at the Sandstone Estates farm near Ficksburg in the Eastern Free State. The collection of trains was much smaller then than it is today! This is newly resorted class NGG16 no 153 on the first section of track they laid between the main complex at Hoekfontein and the loop at Grootdraai.
With no idea what to expect it was quite an eye opener to see what could be described as a huge toy box but in real life scale. Trains aside there were hundreds of vintage tractors at the site many of them in working order.
