reconditioned engine

Some have since been sold, while others have been rebuilt with reconditioned engines by TransNamib in Windhoek and renumbered from number 501 up.

In 1981 the brigade received a second hand fire engine from the local fire department and in 1989 public donations allowed them to buy a second reconditioned engine.

These locos are effectively refurbished, having been completely stripped down to bare steel, with reconditioned engines, somewhat updated cabs, all new signalling systems installed (ERTMS in this instance) and extensive re-wiring.

Ex Mount Lyell passenger stock can be found on the Puffing Billy Railway in Victoria, while by serendipity the West Coast Wilderness Railway has seen the return of reconditioned engines that used to work on the original Mount Lyell lines.

The company is currently operating from engineering facilities in Johannesburg with the main focus on supplying the road & passenger transport industry with new & reconditioned engines, parts, components and new sub assemblies including Atego/ Actros/ ADE 300 & 400 series & MAN.
