SAR Class 26 3450 (4-8-4) |
| Description: |
The Class 26, popularly known as the Red Devil, is a 4-8-4 steam locomotive that was rebuilt from a Class 25NC locomotive by mechanical engineer David Wardale from England while in the employ of the South African Railways. The rebuilding took place at the Salt River Works in Cape Town and was based on the principles developed by Argentinian mechanical engineer L.D. Porta. Work on Class 25NC number 3450 started at the end of 1979. These extensive modifications justified reclassification and the locomotive became the first and only Class 26, although the locomotive’s original Class 25NC running number 3450 was retained. The Red Devil’s great power, however, also turned out to be its one weakness. The Class 25NC had already proven to be on the slippery side and the much more powerful Class 26, with essentially still the same dimensions as the Class 25NC, was even worse. It was a poor performer at starting or at low speeds on steep gradients.

| Description: |
Between 1953 and 1955 the South African Railways placed ninety Class 25 condensing steam locomotives with a 4-8-4 Northern wheel arrangement in service. Henschel and Son built one locomotive complete with tender, number 3451, while North British Locomotive Company built the rest of the Class 25 locomotives, numbers 3452 to 3540. The Class 25NC is the non condensing version of the Class 25 condensing locomotive, of which fifty were placed in service at the same time. Between 1973 and 1980 all but three of the condensing locomotives were converted to non condensing and also classified as Class 25NC. In the process their condensing tenders were also rebuilt to ordinary coal-and-water tenders by removing the condensing radiators and roof fans and replacing it with a massive round-top water tank.

SAR Class 25NC 3533 (4-8-4) |
| Description: |
Between 1953 and 1955 the South African Railways placed ninety Class 25 condensing steam locomotives with a 4-8-4 Northern wheel arrangement in service. Henschel and Son built one locomotive complete with tender, number 3451, while North British Locomotive Company built the rest of the Class 25 locomotives, numbers 3452 to 3540. The Class 25NC is the non condensing version of the Class 25 condensing locomotive, of which fifty were placed in service at the same time. Between 1973 and 1980 all but three of the condensing locomotives were converted to non condensing and also classified as Class 25NC. In the process their condensing tenders were also rebuilt to ordinary coal-and-water tenders by removing the condensing radiators and roof fans and replacing it with a massive round-top water tank.
