Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In 1931 three 610 mm (2 ft) 2-8-2 locomotives, similar in design to their existing Class Hd and Class NG 5 locomotives, were built for the Otavi Mining and Railway Company in South West Africa (SWA, now Namibia) by Henschel. More were purchased during the subsequent years, bringing the total number of these locomotives up to 21 by 1958. When the narrow gauge Otavi Railway was replaced, beginning on 24 November 1960, by a new line built to 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) Cape gauge, all 21 Class NG 15 locomotives were sold to the South African Railways (SAR), later renamed Spoornet and then Transnet Freight Rail (TFR), and transferred to the Eastern Cape for further service on the 610 mm (2 ft) gauge Port Elizabeth to Avontuur line.
