Early in 1910 the Natal Government Railways commissioned a single Class B Mountain type locomotive, also known as the America D. In 1912, when it was assimilated into the South African Railways, it was renumbered and classified as .〔Classification of S.A.R. Engines with Renumbering Lists, issued by the Chief Mechanical Engineer’s Office, Pretoria, January 1912, pp. 7, 12, 15, 46 (Reprinted in April 1987 by SATS Museum, R.3125-6/9/11-1000)〕 ==Manufacturer== As a result of a visit to the United States of America by Natal Government Railways (NGR) Locomotive Superintendent D.A. Hendrie in 1909 to study Mallet type locomotives and also American locomotive design in general, the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) supplied the NGR with two experimental locomotives. These locomotives represented a radical departure from previous NGR locomotive designs.〔〔 One of these locomotives was the first Mallet type in South Africa, later to become the on the South African Railways (SAR).〔 The other was a Mountain type locomotive, placed in service early in 1910, of very similar general proportions to the NGR Class B of 1909, also known as the Hendrie D. While it was also designated Class B, it was commonly known as the America D Class on the NGR, nicknamed "Maud Allan" by the enginemen, after the Canadian-born dancer.〔〔〔 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 3A 4-8-2」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
