On the 4th December 2007, one of
Sandstone Estates' heavy haulage
low-bed rigs arrived at the James Hall
Museum of Transport located in the heart
of Johannesburg's south. The reason for
this, to collect a very famous locomotive,
one of the ex-Beira Railways Lawley
locomotive which was donated to the
museum by The Dryden Engineering Co
(PTY) Ltd who purchased the locomotive
(along with Sandstone's Lawley, Falcon
233) from the Zebedeila Estates where the
engines ended their working lives. It has
been suggested that the James Hall
Lawley ended its working life as Zebedeila
No. 4 with Sandstone's Lawley being No.
5. The engine has now been reunited with
her sister engine at Sandstone Estates.
