South African Class 10A 4-6-2

The South African Railways Class 10A 4-6-2 of 1910 was a steam locomotive from the pre-Union era in Transvaal. In 1910 the Central South African Railways placed ten Class 10-2 4-6-2 Pacific locomotives in service, five built with superheaters and five without. In 1912, when the five saturated steam locomotives were assimilated into the South African Railways, they were renumbered and designated Class 10A. The ten heavy passenger locomotives were designed by the railway's chief mechanical engineer G.G. Elliot, based on the Class 10 design of his predecessor P.A. Hyde, and were ordered from the North British Locomotive Company and delivered in 1910. After 1912 their reversing engines were replaced with Hendrie steam reversers.
