Built for the Sena sugar estates in Mozambique. Used at Mopeia sugar mill which had a 50cm railway. Worked until mid 60s. Arrived in Bredgar 1998 where it was re-gauged to 24 inch. Back in service 2011 with a new boiler.

Dear Sir

I write as a direct descendant of J.P.Hornung, who was my great grandfather and the person who founded Sena Sugar Estates, and who personally placed the order for the delivery of the locomotives now so well restored to their former glory by the Bredgar and Wormshill Railway.

In most grateful thanks for saving some of our heritage. I cannot express myself sufficiently adequately tothank you for what you have saved from Mozambique.

I hope to visit you sometime soon to personally acknowledge your tremendous contribution in preserving a part of our family history.

Yours sincerely

 

Bernard Hornung
