The South African Railways Class GCA 2-6-2+2-6-2 of 1927 is an articulated steam locomotive. In 1927 the South African Railways placed thirteen Class GCA Garratt articulated steam locomotives with a 2-6-2+2-6-2 Double Prairie type wheel arrangement in branchline service. Another twenty-six locomotives were acquired in 1928.〔South African Railways and Harbours Locomotive Diagram Book, 2’0” & 3’6” Gauge Steam Locomotives, 15 August 1941, as amended〕 ==Manufacturer== The Class GCA 2-6-2+2-6-2 Double Prairie type Garratt locomotive was based on the Class GC and built to the same specifications, with the same tractive effort and main dimensions but with bar frames instead of plate frames. They also differed in general appearance, having round top fireboxes instead of the Belpaire fireboxes of the Class GC and with water tanks and built-up coal bunkers of a different shape. They were ordered from Friedrich Krupp AG of Essen in Germany, who delivered thirteen locomotives in 1927, numbered in the range from 2190 to 2202.〔〔〔 A second order for another twenty-six locomotives was placed with the same manufacturer in 1928. These were numbered in the range from 2600 to 2625 when they were delivered in that same year. The second order locomotives differed slightly from the first order, being slightly heavier. Like the Class GC, they were all superheated and had Walschaerts valve gear.〔〔〔
