North British Locomotive Company – Works No 26367   3655 

This locomotive was built by the North British Locomotive Company in Glasgow in 1948.

For details of class 24 locomotives go to Class 24.

It was originally used in the then South West Africa (now Namibia). After being withdrawn from service there, she was used on the Paarden Eiland – Belville line. At some time later it was moved to Touws River in the Karoo for use on the Ladismith branch line until that was shut down in 1981.

After this it was left idle and unused in Touws River until it was donated to Cape Western Vintage Railways who restored the locomotive.

The locomotive was subsequently leased to Atlantic Rail based in Cape Town.
