In 1910 the Natal Government Railways placed two Class A steam locomotives with a Pacific wheel arrangement in service, built in their Durban workshops. In 1912, when these locomotives were assimilated into the South African Railways, they were renumbered and classified as Class 2C. The 2A and 2B classifications were never used.〔Classification of S.A.R. Engines with Renumbering Lists, issued by the Chief Mechanical Engineer’s Office, Pretoria, January 1912, pp. 7, 12, 15, 35 (Reprinted in April 1987 by SATS Museum, R.3125-6/9/11-1000)〕 ==Manufacturer== When more locomotives were required for passenger traffic on the section between Estcourt and Charlestown via Ladysmith on the Natal Government Railways (NGR) mainline, where gradients were less severe than in the coastal region, two locomotives were built in the Durban workshops of the NGR. They were designed by NGR Locomotive Superintendent D.A. Hendrie and were a redesigned version of his NGR Class A of 1905. The Hendrie C, as it was also known, was similar to the Class A Hendrie A in general proportions, but with Walschaerts valve gear, slightly larger diameter driving wheels, a larger boiler and a more enclosed cab that offered better protection to the crew. When they were placed in service in 1910, they were also designated NGR Class A with numbers 11 and 12.〔〔 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 2C 4-6-2」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
