| This dining car, the NYANZA, has a sheathed wooden body with a tapered roof peak at one end and nine panorama size windows, but without the small sliding windows along the top of each window. Dining cars run permanently coupled to kitchen cars with their squared roof peak ends coupled together, and are always positioned in the middle of the train. It is an ex SAR coach that was restored and converted to a lounge car by Rovos Rail, a private luxury passenger train operator with its headquarters at Capital Park in Pretoria. The interior layout was, from the right, an ice box in the corner on the B side, a servery with a passage around it on the A side, and the dining room.SAR Type A-28, Built 1939, Length over headstocks 63' 0", Height 12' 5 13/16", Width 9' 3", To seat 44. |
