My Little SAR Model Railroad Site

Hi,

I am Francois Kritzinger, a railroad Modeller from Pretoria, South Africa. 

I will use my site to display my South African railway photographs and models, including both Spoornet and SAR prototypes.  It is amazing how few web SAR and Spoornet web resources are available. Even fewer models are available. So I guess this will sort of turn into an INFORMATION / HOW TO / ADVICE web site. Let's see how it goes...

Currently I belong to a Modular club, called PMT Club, standing for Pretoria Model Train Club. The club web site can be found at http://www.oocities.org/pmtclub/.  The contact details are still valid as of 2004/11/27.  I can really advise anybody to join a club.

The club does not promote any prototype above another.  We have SAR and Spoornet Modeler running trains happily alongside British and American trains.  We have steam trains crawling along the track with a high speed train flying past.  As long as you enjoy your trains and railroading, you're welcome!

Hi again all.  

Phew!  It has bee almost forever since I last updated this site.  This is not a big update, but I added a section of where to find model info and parts for your SAR and spoornet modelling efforts. 

I really hope you can gain something of value from these pages. If you have suggestions or requests for specific model or prototype info, fee free to contact me on this email address.

Remember, a hobby is only a hobby for as long as you can enjoy it.  When you stop enjoying it, it's time to find something new...

Keep the wheels rolling.

Francois


 
WARNING: LARGE IMAGES TO DOWNLOAD ALL OVER THE PLACE!!!
A warning before I get bunches of mails telling me how slow these pages are.  As far as possible, I use thumbnailed pages to show you what lies behind the links.  Most of the Photo links, will open a FULL SIZE photo (often 100k to 200k!) These images takes a while to load, especially if you use a 56k modem or slower.
