RTW 96 (CA 6669) stands waiting to start a day's work in the
South African sun, somewhat naked, stripped of guard rails, wheel trims and "dustbin
lids" and offering to the world a meagre destination blind and an 'orrible
"ducky" little bumper bar!
.... while under cover, roof box RT ?? (CA 30953) and RTL 1346 (CA 80843) quietly rest in their new and final home.
From all accounts, most of these exports to South Africa had
hard lives,
and literally fell to pieces in service.
Thanks to David Munton, Cape Town, for the fleet number information!
