That is a pretty little Garratt! And a very nice image, so "neutral" and
life-like. That machine is less than half the size of our GMAM- and
GL-class Garratts :-)

There is apparently one of the South African GMAM-class garratts in one
of the UK railway museums (as Beyer-Peacock's crowning achievement) -
you should go check it out.

regards,
Dawid
