The South African Garratt + 25NC The Miracle Northern
50 Mins #SRP-GMA + 25NC $39.95

GMA and GCAs from Mossell Bay to the lofty summit of Montagu Pass. Doubleheaded GMAs thundering up the 3% of the Graytown line and around the hidden Horseshoes to Donneybrook. 2 Ft gauge Garratts in the Dragon’s Teeth mountains. 25NC “The Miracle Northern” has been added as a special bonus. Both condensing and noncondensing versions of the famous 4–8–4 Northern: the most efficient, one of the fastest, and the last main line steam locomotive ever built. The condensing version could go 10 times farther without having to stop for water. Both shown racing across the vast emptiness between Cape Town and Johannesburg - long after the rest of the world had abandoned steam.
