In 1952 and 1953 the South African Railways placed one hundred Class S2 shunting steam locomotives with a 0-8-0 wheel arrangement in service. ==Design specifications== By 1952 the need arose for shunting locomotives with a light axle load for harbour work, where most of the trackwork was laid with light rail. Under the direction of L.C. Grubb, Chief Mechanical Engineer (CME) of the South African Railways (SAR) from 1949 to 1954, specifications were prepared for a light locomotive with the 0-8-0 wheel arrangement that had already been proven successful with the Class S and Class S1 shunting engines. In order to keep the total weight of the engine and tender down to approximately , it was to be equipped with the Watson Standard no. 1 boiler, the smallest of the standard boilers.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「South African Class S2 0-8-0」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
