from the internet:- (very interesting)

Between 1893 and 1898 one hundred and seventy-five 46 Tonner 0-6-4T tank steam locomotives were placed in service by the Nederlandshe-Zuid-Afrikaansche Spoorwegmaatschappij in the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek.

In 1899 twenty more were ordered, of which only two were delivered by the time the Imperial Military Railways took over all railway operations in the ZAR during the Second Freedom War. The other eighteen locomotives in this order were delivered directly to the Imperial Military Railways, who diverted TWO of them to Lourenço Marques.

At the end of the war the survivors of these locomotives were taken onto the roster of the Central South African Railways, renumbered and reclassified to Class B, while the two in Mozambique were taken onto the roster of the Caminhos de Ferro de Mocambique. In 1912, when the remaining locomotives were assimilated into the South African Railways, they were renumbered again but retained their Class B classification.

THE SIZE OF THE PLATE IS APPROXIMATELY 370mm IN DIAMETER AND WEIGHS A WHOPPING 3.5kg. PLEASE VIEW THE PICS CAREFULLY FOR MORE DETAIL AND THE CONDITION; WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET! STANDARD POSTAGE AND GOOD PACKAGING WILL BE R95.00 COUNTER TO COUNTER OR PLEASE ARRANGE TO COLLECT IN EDENVALE AT NO CHARGE!!!
