SAR Class 15F 3046 (4-8-2) |
| 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 m`nufacturers (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 Cl`ss 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.
