The South African Railways Class 10C 4-6-2 of 1910 was a steam locomotive from the pre-Union era in Transvaal.

Both locomotives were rebuilt to non-compound 4-6-2 types in 1915, retained their assigned numbers, were still in use as of 1944, and retired by 1950. A somewhat more successful passenger Mallet design was a Russian 2-4-4-0 built between 1903 and 1909; the last examples were used into the 1950s.
