The South Australian Railways Gb class was a pair of locomotives built by Robert Stephenson and Company in 1874 and 1878 for the Glenelg Railway Company, which the South Australian Railways bought on 16 December 1899. The engines had been sold to the Adelaide Glenelg & Suburban Railway Company as No. 4 and 5, and then passed to the Glenelg Railway Company in November 1881 with the same numbers. The SAR classed them Gb and renumbered them 158 and 159. No. 158 was scrapped in December 1904, while No. 159 lasted until 21 February 1916 and was scrapped in 1922.
