The South African Railways Class 15E 4-8-2 of 1935 is a steam locomotive. Between 1935 and 1937 the South African Railways placed forty-four Class 15E steam locomotives with a 4-8-2 Mountain type wheel arrangement in service. The Class 15D classification was never used.〔 ==Manufacturers== The Class 15E 4-8-2 Mountain type mixed traffic steam locomotive was a refinement of the Class 15C and Class 15CA. It was designed by A.G. Watson, Chief Mechanical Engineer (CME) of the South African Railways (SAR) from 1929 to 1936, and incorporated many of the improvements that had been developed by him, two of which were a vastly enlarged standardised boiler and a Watson cab.〔 They were built by three manufacturers. In 1935 British locomotive builders Robert Stephenson and Hawthorns (RSH) delivered twenty locomotives, numbered in the range from 2858 to 2877. Henschel and Son of Germany built and delivered sixteen in two batches in 1936, numbered in the range from 2878 to 2893. In 1936 German locomotive builders Berliner Maschinenbau built another eight locomotives, which were delivered in 1937, numbered in the range from 2894 to 2901.〔〔〔Henschel-Lieferliste (Henschel & Son works list), compiled by Dietmar Stresow〕 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「South African Class 15E 4-8-2」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
