The South African Railways Class 1B 4-8-2 of 1904 was a steam locomotive from the pre-Union era in the Colony of Natal. The Natal Government Railways placed fifty Class B 4-8-0 locomotives in service in 1904, designed by D.A. Hendrie and delivered from the North British Locomotive Company. Six were modified in 1906 to Altered Class B locomotives, the first tender engines in the world with a 4-8-2 Mountain wheel arrangement, and when they were assimilated into the South African Railways in 1912 they were renumbered and designated Class 1B. New locomotives replaced them on mainline passenger service in Natal between 1926 and 1928. The last was withdrawn in 1975, and one has survived into preservation.
