| An unbeatable offer for South African steam enthusiasts You live in southern Africa - you love your steam trains - you watch overseas enthusiasts enjoying great tours and charters, but you cannot afford them. It's just not right, is it? We agree with you, and so we would like to offer you a chance to join the tour at a price you can afford. You will use your own car and find your own accommodation, but that's a small price to pay for the chance to join the best steam tour in 2010. If you prefer us to make all of the arrangements for you, that's fine as well - contact us for a more inclusive package deal. Of course, having a great South African Braai without you would simply not be right, and so Braai's at Capital Park, Germiston and Creighton have been included. Take a look at the numbers and then contact us soon - space is limited and you may not get another chance to ride some of these lines. Two gauges – Cape and Two foot Three days at Sandstone Four braai's right next to the tracks Six special steam charters Eight days of steam action Twelve working steam locomotives All for just 3,400 Rand Includes: 22 May 2010 Special 15CA photo charter on the Cullinan line.

Add four days on the Apple Express for just 2,000 Rand Or Rand 3,000 if you book it as a stand alone package Includes: 01 to 04 June 2010 Four days on the Avontuur Line. Two NG15 locomotives will operate both double headed and alone on two different trains, one with the Apple Express coaches and the second an authentic SAR mixed train. We plan to travel over the full extent of the Patensie Branch, and as far as Louterwater on the main line. This may be the last time that some of this track will be available: The Patensie Branch is being repaired especially for the tour and TFR have not plans to keep it open thereafter. Repairs have been authorised on the Assegaaibos to Louterwater section, but without any trains other than ours, the line may close again once we have passed. Not included: Road transport. Accommodation. Meals and refreshments. More information: This offer is only available to southern African residents. A limited number of places are available – early booking is strongly recommended.
