SAR Class 15F 2916 (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 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.

SAR Class 25NC 3422 (4-8-4)

The Class 25NC is the non condensing version of the Class 25 condensing locomotive, of which ninety were placed in service at the same time. Between 1973 and 1980 all but three of the condensing locomotives were converted to non condensing and also classified as Class 25NC.

Description:
In 1949 and 1950 the South African Railways placed one hundred Class 24 branch line locomotives with a 2-8-4 Berkshire wheel arrangement in service. The locomotive was designed by Chief Mechanical Engineer Dr. M.M. Loubser, built by North British Locomotive Company and numbered in the range from 3601 to 3700. The cast engine main frames and the Buckeye bogies for the tenders were supplied by General Steel Castings of Eddystone, Pennsylvania and they were built with Watson Standard no. 1 boilers and Vanderbilt torpedo type tenders that ran on three axle Buckeye bogies.

SAR Class 26 3450 (4-8-4)
Description:
The Class 26, popularly known as the Red Devil, is a 4-8-4 steam locomotive that was rebuilt from a Class 25NC locomotive by mechanical engineer David Wardale from England while in the employ of the South African Railways. The rebuilding took place at the Salt River Works in Cape Town and was based on the principles developed by Argentinian mechanical engineer L.D. Porta. Work on Class 25NC number 3450 started at the end of 1979. These extensive modifications justified reclassification and the locomotive became the first and only Class 26, although the locomotive’s original Class 25NC running number 3450 was retained. The Red Devil’s great power, however, also turned out to be its one weakness. The Class 25NC had already proven to be on the slippery side and the much more powerful Class 26, with essentially still the same dimensions as the Class 25NC, was even worse. It was a poor performer at starting or at low speeds on steep gradients.
