Beautiful capture(s) Axel. It's not just these locomotives but the engineering of the railway through the great natural wonders of Africa (Victoria Falls). These unique locomotives are a treasure to see running. [As the drivers are under both tenders, as the water and coal were consumed their adhesion to the rails decreased. Hence their design was not popular in North America. Since these ones are long running in Zimbabwe, did they correct this problem by having extra lead weight added to the tenders to keep the adhesion up?
