The South African Railways Class 11 2-8-2 of 1904 is a steam locomotive from the pre-Union era in the Transvaal. In 1904 the Central South African Railways placed thirty-six Class 11 steam locomotives with a Mikado type wheel arrangement in service. When these locomotives were assimilated into the South African Railways in 1912, they were renumbered but retained their Class 11 classification.〔Classification of S.A.R. Engines with Renumbering Lists, issued by the Chief Mechanical Engineer’s Office, Pretoria, January 1912, pp. 9, 12, 15, 36-37 (Reprinted in April 1987 by SATS Museum, R.3125-6/9/11-1000)〕 ==Manufacturer== Built by the North British Locomotive Company (NBL), the Class 11 was designed by P.A. Hyde, Chief Locomotive Superintendent of the Central South African Railways (CSAR) from 1902 to 1904, for goods train service on the Reef. One locomotive, CSAR number 700, was delivered early in 1904 for trial purposes. After successful trials, this locomotive was followed by a further thirty-five Class 11 locomotives that were delivered later that same year, numbered in the range from 701 to 735.〔〔〔North British Locomotive Company works list, compiled by Austrian locomotive historian Bernhard Schmeiser〕 They were superheated, with Belpaire fireboxes, Walschaerts valve gear and plate frames. Upon delivery, however, the class was found to be too heavy for a large part of the existing track and bridges on the line between Witbank and Germiston where they were intended to work. It took nearly a year to carry out the programme of track and bridge strengthening and some of the new locomotives ended up being held in staging for that time before the Chief Civil Engineer would allow them to run.〔〔〔South African Railways and Harbours Locomotive Diagram Book, 2’0” & 3’6” Gauge Steam Locomotives, 15 August 1941, as amended〕
