South African Type MY1 Tender
The South African type MY1 tender was a steam locomotive tender. Type MY1 tenders entered service in 1952 and 1953, as tenders to the shunting steam locomotives which entered service on the South African Railways in those years.South African Railways & Harbours/Suid Afrikaanse Spoorweë en Hawens (15 Aug 1941).

South African Class S2 0-8-0
The South African Railways Class S2 0-8-0 of 1952 was a steam locomotive. In 1952 and 1953, the South African Railways placed one hundred Class S2 shunting steam locomotives with a 0-8-0 wheel arrangement in service. Design specifications By 1952, the need arose for shunting locomotives with a light axle load for harbour work, where most of the trackwork was laid with light rail. Under the direction of L.C. Grubb, Chief Mechanical Engineer of the South African Railways (SAR) from 1949 to 1954, specifications were prepared for a light locomotive with the 0-8-0 wheel arrangement which had already been proven successful with the Classes S and S1 shunting engines. To keep the total weight of the engine and tender down to approximately , it was to be equipped with the Watson Standard no. 1 boiler, the smallest of the standard boilers. Manufacturer When tenders were called for, a number of firms responded, but all except one stated that it would not be possible to construct the l ...
