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
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.
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.
Tender had received a dent in its rear, in a 1944 wreck. [42] Tender rebuilt in 2001, by substituting the body from the 1st 81 tender (ex-#191 or 194). [43] Original #73 tender body (ex-#193) was used to make Auxiliary Tender #733 in 2019, with the dent hammered out. [44] 80 American Locomotive Company: 2-8-2. 19,000 lbf (85 kN) July 1920 61980
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 ...
The diagram, which is not to scale, is a composite of various designs in the late steam era. Some components shown are not the same as, or are not present, on some locomotives – for example, on smaller or articulated types. Conversely, some locomotives have components not listed here.
The locomotive was equipped with a Type EW1 tender which was equipped with a mechanical stoker of which the engine was mounted on the tender. The tank had a water capacity of 10,500 imperial gallons (47,700 litres; 12,600 US gallons) and the coal bunker a capacity of 18 long tons (18.3 tonnes; 20.2 short tons).
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 ...
