Engines with Renumbering Lists, issued by the Chief Mechanical Engineer’s Office, Pretoria, January 1912, pp. 7, 11, 13, 20 (Reprinted in April 1987 by SATS Museum, R.3125-6/9/11-1000)〕 ==Manufacturer== The last locomotive to be designed for the Natal Government Railways (NGR) by Locomotive Superintendent G.W. Reid before he relinquished his appointment in 1902 was a tank locomotive, the first known locomotive in the world to be designed and built as a Baltic type. It was built for the NGR by Neilson, Reid and Company, who delivered ten of them in 1902, numbered in the range from 1 to 10. In NGR service they were known as the Neilson, Reid locomotives until a classification system was introduced at some stage between 1904 and 1908 and they were designated the NGR Class F.〔〔''The Railway Report for year ending 31 Dec. 1908'', Natal Government Railways, p. 39, par 14.〕 The Class F was a larger version of the rebuilt NGR Class H Stephenson-built locomotive that later became the sole Class C2 on the South African Railways (SAR), and many of the main dimensions were identical. They had plate frames, Stephenson valve gear and used saturated steam.〔〔〔 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 E 4-6-4T」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
