The Cape Government Railways 4th Class 4-6-0TT of 1882 was a South African steam locomotive from the pre-Union era in the Cape of Good Hope. In 1882 and 1883 the railways placed sixty-eight 4-6-0 tank-and-tender locomotives in mainline service on all three of their Systems, an improved version of the locomotives of 1880 and 1881. The contracts were divided between Robert Stephenson and Company, which built thirty-three with Stephenson valve gear, and Neilson and Company, which built thirty-five with Joy valve gear. Of the Stephenson engines nine went to the Western System, twenty to the Midland System and four to the Eastern System. Nine survived into South African Railways service in 1912 as Class 04, and the rest had been scrapped by 1918.
