In April 1906 the Natal Government Railways placed two 4-6-2T narrow gauge tank steam locomotives in service. In 1912, when these locomotives were assimilated into the South African Railways, they retained their engine numbers, but with an "NG" prefix added. They were sold to the Moçâmedes Railway in Portuguese West Africa in 1915.〔Classification of S.A.R.

Hendrie, Locomotive Superintendent of the Natal Government Railways (NGR) from 1902 to 1910. It was the first narrow gauge locomotive of the NGR.〔 An order for the construction of two of these locomotives was placed with Hunslet Engine Company in 1906. They were numbered 1 and 2 when they were delivered in April 1906 and were placed in construction service on the new narrow gauge line that was being built between Estcourt and Weenen, the first narrow gauge line in Natal. Commonly known as the Hunslet Side Tanks, the locomotives had outside plate frames and used Walschaerts valve gear.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「NGR Class N 4-6-2T 1906」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
