The South African Railways Class MJ 2-6-6-0 of 1914 was a class of articulated steam locomotives. Between 1914 and 1921 the railways placed eighteen Class MJ Mallet articulated compound locomotives with a 2-6-6-0 wheel arrangement in branch line service. D.A. Hendrie designed them for higher tractive effort on heavy branch line traffic. Ten were ordered from Maffei of Munich, but only two could be delivered from Germany in 1914 because of the outbreak of the First World War, so the order for the remaining eight was transferred to the North British Locomotive Company, which delivered them in 1917 and 1918. Maffei delivered the other eight, built in 1914, in 1921. The class was scrapped in 1962 after service in Transkei and then shunting in East London.
