Century City - Cape Town






Les Kenward visited Century last month and photographed the narrow gauge track around the complex. Anybody know what plans Century City has? Looked on their webpage and also did some research but found no information. Any information would be appreciated. Leave it in the comment section below.

  1. Their initial plan was to run this narrow gauge steam train from Ratanga Junction to Canal Walk incorporating the Greater Century City, as you can see by the tracks laid. From the start there were problems with the engines and this was short lived. Hence the two Plinthed Engines in the top photo.

  2. How much track is there? Future plans? Would be nice for a small tank loco though.

  3. The location of the line can be seen here: http://www.osm.org/?lat=-33.89225&lon=18.51119&zoom=17&layers=M

    Has the line ever been used?
