Paxton & Bourne notes: These locomotives were the main motive power of the Nederlandsche Zuid Afrikaansche Spoorwegmaatschappij (NZASM).
Between 1882 and 1898, 175 were delivered by Emil Kessler, and 20 more in 1899 by the Netherlands Locomotive Factory.
As they did not have a leading bogey, they gave a rough ride, and were usually operated bunker first.
Many were damaged in the South African War, and only 55 were taken into SAR stock, all of which were withdrawn by 1930. They were used in the Transvaal, Free State, and later for shunting in the Western Cape.
They had outside plate frames, Walschaerts valve gear and used saturated steam.
For the next loco in the museum continue to part 3
