In 1947 the South African Railways placed twelve Class S1 shunting steam locomotives with a 0-8-0 wheel arrangement in service, built in the Salt River workshops in Cape Town. A further twenty-five, built in Scotland, were placed in service in 1954. ==Manufacturers== A huge increase in traffic over the pre-World War II years led to the available dedicated shunting locomotives of the South African Railways (SAR) being very much over-taxed, to the extent that they had to be supplemented by mainline locomotives. During 1943 the requirement for more specialised shunting locomotives was identified by the SAR, but since the war was still in progress, it was not viable to obtain locomotives from the usual overseas suppliers.〔〔 Dr M.M. Loubser, Chief Mechanical Engineer (CME) of the SAR from 1939 to 1949, therefore prepared designs for a larger version of the Class S locomotive that had been introduced in 1929, that could be built in the SAR’s own workshops. The result was the Class S1 0-8-0 shunting locomotive, of which the first of twelve was delivered from the Salt River workshops in Cape Town in October 1947.〔〔 The first locomotive was formally handed over to the Operating Department by the senior member of the Railway Board, Mr F.T. Bates. In honour of the occasion it was named "Voortrekker".〔〔 The twelve locomotives were numbered in the range from 374 to 385. The Class S1 was the first steam locomotive to be designed and built by the SAR in quantity, although not the first to be designed and built in South Africa. The Natal Government Railways 2-8-2TT tank-tender locomotive ''Havelock'' had already taken that honour in 1888.〔〔South African Railways and Harbours Locomotive Diagram Book, 2’0” & 3’6” Gauge Steam Locomotives, 15 August 1941, as amended〕 After the war a further twenty-five Class S1 locomotives were ordered from the North British Locomotive Company (NBL) in Glasgow. They were built in 1952 and delivered in 1953 and 1954, numbered in the range from 3801 to 3825.〔〔North British Locomotive Company works list, compiled by Austrian locomotive historian Bernhard Schmeiser〕 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 S1 0-8-0」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
