SAR/SAS HO Scale Brass Etched Name Plates For Elephant Ear Smoke Deflectors
Available with the following names:
Harrismith, Bloemfontein, Pretoria, Johannesburg, Springs, Vereeniging, Brakpan, Benoni, Bethlehem, Germiston and Potchefstroom.
In 1945, the Minister of Transport at the time, the Honourable F.C. Sturrock MP, instructed that a number of Classes 15F and 23 engines should be named after various South African cities and towns and fitted with suitable nameplates in both official languages. The decorative plates were fitted to the sides of the smokebox or to the elephant ear smoke deflectors of engines which were so equipped. Twelve Class 15F locomotives were named:
No. 3045 Harrismith, No. 3046 - City of Bloemfontein, No. 3047 - City of Pretoria, No. 3049 - City of Johannesburg, No. 3050 Springs, No. 3051 Vereeniging, No. 3052 Brakpan, No. 3053 - Benoni No. 3054 Bethlehem, No. 3055 Germiston, No. 3056 Potchefstroom.
In later years, some of these names migrated to other engines and classes, with several eventually ending up on Classes 23 and locomotives.
