The South West African 0-6-0T of 1911 was a steam locomotive from the German South West Africa era.
In 1911, the Lüderitzbucht Eisenbahn (Lüderitzbucht Railway) in German South West Africa placed two locomotives in service as shunting engines. They were apparently no longer in service when all railways in the territory came under the administration of the South African Railways in 1922.[1]
During 1911, two Cape Gauge locomotives were delivered to the Lüderitzbucht Eisenbahn by Orenstein & Koppel. The locomotives, with works numbers 4256 and 4257, were supplied in January 1911 to the order of Consortium Bachstein-Koppel. They were numbered 201 and 202 and were placed in service as shunting engines.[1] [2]
The locomotive's coal bunker had a capacity of 11NaN1 and the side-tanks had a water capacity of 484sigfig=3NaNsigfig=3. It had coupled wheels of NaN0NaN0 diameter and cylinders of 130NaN0 bore and NaN0NaN0 stroke. The total weight of the engine in full working order was 22sigfig=4NaNsigfig=4 and it had a tractive effort of 8660lbf at 75% of boiler pressure.[1]
The two engines were placed in shunting service in Lüderitz. It is not known whether they survived the First World War and they do not appear to have still been in service on 1 April 1922, when all railways in the former German colony came under the administration of the South African Railways.[1]
