In 1904 the Cape Government Railways placed six Type B 4-6-0 steam locomotives in service on the Avontuur narrow gauge line in the Langkloof. In 1912, when these locomotives were assimilated into the South African Railways, they were renumbered with an "NG" prefix to their numbers.〔Classification of S.A.R. Engines with Renumbering Lists, issued by the Chief Mechanical Engineer’s Office, Pretoria, January 1912, pp. 12, 16, 47 (Reprinted in April 1987 by SATS Museum, R.3125-6/9/11-1000)〕 A further three "Improved B" locomotives were placed in service by the South African Railways in 1914. When a system of grouping narrow gauge locomotives into classes was eventually introduced somewhere between 1928 and 1930, they were all to be classified as Class NG8 but had already been withdrawn from service.〔 ==Manufacturer== The Cape Government Railways (CGR) ordered six narrow gauge locomotives with a wheel arrangement and eight-wheeled bogie tenders from W. G. Bagnall in 1903. They were dispatched from the factory between May and August of 1904 and were classified as Type B by the CGR when they entered service later in the same year.〔〔〔Baker, Allan C.; Civil, T. D.
