North British Locomotive Company Works No 26033 – SAR 3149

This locomotive was built by the North British Locomotive Company in Glasgow in 1946 for the South African Railways.

The locomotive is now owned by the Railway Society of South Africa (RSSA). The RSSA was established in 1960, mainly for the benefit of a small group of steam train photographers living in Johannesburg and Cape Town. The base for the organisation is at Masons Mill Locomotive Depot west of Durban.

The organisation owns 10 locomotives but because of financial constraints many are in store awaiting preservation.
