SAR Class 5E1 E1106 (Series 5)
Title:  SAR Class 5E1 E1106 (Series 5)
Description:  Between 1966 and 1969 the South African Railways placed two hundred and twenty-five Class 5E1, Series 5 electric locomotives in service, numbered in the range from E921 to E1145. Designed by Metropolitan-Vickers, they were built by Union Carriage and Wagon in Nigel, with the electrical equipment supplied by Associated Electrical Industries and English Electric. The locomotive body design was changed from rounded corners to squared corners somewhere between the construction of number E941, still with rounded corners, and E948 which has squared corners.

SAR Class 6E1 E1232 (Series 1)
Title:  SAR Class 6E1 E1232 (Series 1)
Description:  In 1969 and 1970 the South African Railways placed twenty Class 6E1, Series 1 electric locomotives in mainline service, numbered in the range from E1226 to E1245. It was designed and built by Union Carriage and Wagon in Nigel, Transvaal, with the electrical equipment supplied by Associated Electrical Industries and English Electric. They are identical to the Class 6E in most respects including traction motors, power, tractive force and body dimensions, but had new design bogies with traction struts and linkages. They actually entered service before the Class 6E and their limited number seem to indicate that they were built as demonstrators to introduce and evaluate the new Class 6E1.

Title:  SAR Class 10M Motor Coach (Type 2 L)
Description:  Class 10M commuter trains are totally rebuilt on Class 5M frames. The most apparent visual differences from the older wagons are the ribbed sides (on the Type 1, 3 and 4), the new "face" on the cab ends, some blue (Western Cape) or turquoise (KwaZulu-Natal) added to the usual gray and yellow livery, and a new numbering system that ends with M for motor coaches and T for standard unmotorised coaches.

Spoornet Class 18E 18-165 (Series 1)
Title:  Spoornet Class 18E 18-165 (Series 1)
Description:  Beginning in 2000 Spoornet embarked on a program to rebuild dual cab Class 6E1, Series 2 to Series 11 locomotives to single cab Class 18E, Series 1 locomotives that were renumbered in the ranges 18-001 to 18-434 and 18-500 to 18-525.
