The South African Railways Class 8B 4-8-0 of 1903 was a Mastodon type steam locomotive from the pre-Union era in Transvaal Colony, thirty of which the Central South African Railways placed in service in 1903 as its Class 8-L2 and which became Class 8B in 1912. Neilson, Reid amalgamated with Dübs and Company and Sharp, Stewart and Company to form the North British Locomotive Company while they were being built, so the first ten, numbered 441 to 450, were delivered as built by Neilson, Reid and the other twenty, numbered 451 to 470, as built by NBL, although all were built at the Hyde Park shops.
