Tender locomotives, shunting locomotives excluded, were classified numerically, while tank, articulated and shunting locomotives were classified using letters of the alphabet. All 3 ft 6 in ( 1,067 mm ) steam locomotives were numbered sequentially, beginning with number 1, but not necessarily in the order of their new 1912 classifications.
The earliest 0-4-0 locomotives were tender engines and appeared as early as c. 1802. The 0-4-0 tank engines were introduced in the early 1850s. The type was found to be so useful in many locations that they continued to be built for more than a century and existed until the end of the steam era. Locomotion No. 1
The more numerous reboilered Class 12AR locomotives worked throughout most parts of South Africa, being shedded at Kimberley, De Aar, Port Elizabeth and East London in the Cape Province, Glencoe and Newcastle in Natal, Klerksdorp in Transvaal and Kroonstad in the Orange Free State. East London and Port Elizabeth each received four, the latter ...
The engines and tenders were built to the design of Col F.R. Collins DSO, Chief Mechanical Engineer of the SAR. They were initially placed in service in Natal and the Orange Free State, but were soon transferred to several centres around Transvaal. The Type GT entered service as tenders to these locomotives.

The buffing gear between engine and tender consisted of a laminated spring, contained in a steel casting attached to the tender's front buffer beam. The tender was the Type JT which was first introduced in 1935 along with the Class 15E Mountain type and Class 16E Pacific type. The tender had a coal capacity of 14 long tons (14.2 tonnes), a ...
Whaleback tender built for the Kahului Railroad in 1928. A form peculiar to oil-burning engines was the "whaleback" tender (also sometimes called a "turtle-back" or "loaf" tender). This was a roughly half-cylindrical form with the rounded side up; the forward portion of the tank held the oil, while the remainder held the water.
Only the boiler and tender were salvaged, and whilst the tender was reused, the boiler was cut up in 1922. The remaining four locomotives passed to the GWR, and were renumbered 1014/29/35/43. No. 1043 was superheated in 1926, the heating surface being increased to 1,313.5 sq ft (122.03 m 2 ) and the pressure raised to 180 lbf/in 2 (1,240 kPa).
