The South African Railways Class 19D 4-8-2 of 1937, nicknamed Dolly, was the final development of the Class 19 family and, with 268 Mountain type engines, the most numerous South African steam locomotive type ever built. W.A.J. Day revised the earlier Class 19C by specifying piston valves and Walschaerts valve gear in place of rotary cam poppet valve gear. Seven batches came from six makers in Czechoslovakia, Germany and the United Kingdom, among them Krupp, Borsig, Skoda, Robert Stephenson and Hawthorns, and the North British Locomotive Company, which built the last fifty for the South African Railways in 1949 and ten more for Angolan and Rhodesian operators.
