| Description: |
The Class 15F was the most numerous steam locomotive class in South African Railways service. Between 1938 and 1946 two hundred and fifty-five of these steam locomotives with a 4-8-2 Mountain wheel arrangement were placed in service, built in four batches by four manufacturers (Berliner Maschinenbau, Henschel and Son, North British Locomotive Company and Beyer, Peacock and Company). They were numbered in the range from 2902 to 3156. The pre-war Class 15Fs were hand fired, but the British built locomotives were all converted to mechanical stoking by the late 1940s. The post-war locomotives were all delivered with mechanical stokers.
