    Evening All,

    A friend of mine has just opened a new Flickr site with pictures from South Africa. He actually lived over there for ten years during the latter days of steam and spent as much of his spare time as he could gricing things before they disappeared for ever. He has now started to scan his colour slides and put them on flickr for us all to enjoy. The results are stunning and as I know that there are a number of people on this forum with an interest in South African steam I though that you ought to know.

    Here's the link to his Flickr Photostream :

    Flickr: TrainsandTravel's Photostream

    Hope that they are of interest - I'm sure that they will be!
