From what I have read on Rovos Rail website that due to a limited number of steam runs due to the lack of watering and coaling service areas No. 2701 was sadly cut up for scrap in 2014.

Pretoria is NOT in the Eastern Cape. It is a long way north in Gauteng. Same comment applies to loco 2702 and 3360
