REDUNDANT ASSET - n identical locomotive of this class - Locomotive 5E1 # E613, is preserved at the Bloemfontein Locomotive depot and forms part of the Transnet Collection. The history of this class is captured in two publications " locomotives of the South African railways" by Leith Paxton and David bourne and " Railways of Southern Africa 150 years by Jean Dulez. A copy of both publications are available at the museum for reference purposes. Locomotive drawings (plans) and other information relating to this class are in safe custody at the Transnet Heritage Library

Micro sample from site BNB001
To conduct the characterization of paints, a multi-instrumentation protocol has been developedto analyse unprepared, prepared and cross-section samples using microscopy, Raman spectroscopy,scanning electron microscopy coupled with X-ray energy dispersive spectrometer (SEM-EDS),and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy (Bonneau et al 2017: 663). Each sample is splitinto two parts; one is left unprepared and the other embedded in an epoxy resin and polished insection to reveal the succession of layers (Bonneau et al 2021). Both samples are observed with alight microscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM; Bonneau et al 2021).
