The best place to see another NG15 in action is at the Sandstone
Estates in South Africa. This is an extensive network of 2ft gauge
lines operated by the Sandstone Heritage Trust.
Here they have two NG15s, №s 17 and 19 from the original batch built
by Henschel in
1931. Whilst №19 remains in unrestored condition in the
Estate's
workshop, №17 is steamed on a regular basis. The following
link takes
you to the Gallery section of the website where there are a set of
photographs (courtesy of Andie Shaw) taken on a 2006
visit to
Sandstone
by a group from the WHR and FR.
Go to №17's page in the Gallery.
Also there are a couple of video clips available of №17 in action taken on the same visit.

loco train with NGG13 №49 leading and NGG16 №113 on the Sandstone Estate. |
| №17 is seen
again but this time we're able to view the action in the cab whilst double heading with NGG13 №49. |
| A final look at №17
but this time hauling the Avontuur Adventurer out of Port Elizabeth. The Loco is seen shortly after leaving. |
A second operational NG15 is №119 that has recently been returned to steam in South Africa. The loco is now used on the Apple Express tourist train out of Port Elizabeth.
Finally there is №123 that is in service on the Bennett Brook Railway in Australia. The railway also has №118, however, this is currently awaiting an overhaul.
