The South African Railways Class Experimental 1 4-6-2 of 1907 was a steam locomotive from the pre-Union era in the Cape of Good Hope. In 1907 the Cape Government Railways placed a single experimental three-cylinder compound locomotive with a 4-6-2 Pacific wheel arrangement in service between Beaufort West and De Aar, based on the second series of its Karoo Class locomotives. In 1912, when it was assimilated into the South African Railways, it was renumbered and designated Class Experimental 1. The engine was delivered by the North British Locomotive Company in 1907. In 1909 the chief mechanical engineer reported a coal economy of 8 percent compared with the simple engine, and it worked until it was withdrawn in 1933 and scrapped.
