8 I strolled further down the yard towards the maintenance shed. A NGG16 running axle bogie.

10 Two running axle bogie frames
11 Some South African goods wagons in the railyard

13 NGG16 driving axles, my guess. With new tires.

15 More NGG16 parts, don't know if its for scrap or for reuse. In front a fornt (water) tank and behind it a rear water tank annex coal bunker. Left a disused boiler on a boiler cradle

51 Aomehow I have the feeling that this is not an NGG16 boiler, too long and sleek for a Garratt. Maybe for a NG15?
