The Cape Government Railways Fairlie 0-6-6-0 of 1876 is a South African steam locomotive from the pre-Union era in the Cape of Good Hope. In 1876 the Cape Government Railways placed a single experimental Fairlie side-tank locomotive in service on the Cape Eastern system, working out of East London. It was the first articulated locomotive to enter service in South Africa and also the first locomotive to be equipped with Walschaerts valve gear. After some shortcomings were brought to the attention of the locomotive builders, a second Fairlie that incorporated these improvements was delivered and placed in service in 1878.〔Abbott, Rowland A.S. (1970). ''The Fairlie Locomotive'', (1st ed.). South Devon House, Newton Abbot, Devon: David & Charles, Newton Abbot. pp. 34, 36-38. ISBN 0 7153 4902 3.〕 ==Manufacturer== In 1876, to address the need for more powerful locomotives on the Cape Eastern system of the Cape Government Railways due to the heavy grades on the mainline out of East London, a single Fairlie tank locomotive was acquired for experimental purposes. It was built by the Avonside Engine Company and acquired through the Crown Agents for the Colonies. When it was shipped from England, the locomotive was accompanied by Mr. Edmund Roberts, a specialist engine driver who had gained considerable experience on Fairlie locomotives in Peru.〔〔
