'Man & Machine'

Driver Les Weideman applies the finishing touches to Class 15CA No. 2850 - his “baby.”

As the old saying goes, “A beautiful lady can’t go out in public without her jewellery.” And so, here Les adds a few decorative ornaments to the smokebox, giving 2850 that final touch of elegance before heading out.

Les and No. 2850 - now affectionately named “Leska”, after his daughter - share a long and very special history.

It was aboard No. 2850, during her days with the South African Railways, that Les learnt his trade. From those early days on the footplate to today, the locomotive has remained very much a part of his life.

For Les, 2850 isn't simply a locomotive. She is a piece of his history, his passion and, quite literally, a part of his blood.
