Hi Andre,

I note you have no builders numbers for these locos. Details are as follows:

Source:

Harman, Fred W. The Locomotives built by Manning Wardle & Company. Volume 3 Broad Gauge & Works List (1st ed. (undated)). Century Locoprints, Bridlington, UK. p.77. ISBN 0 9535313 2 5.

Details:

MW Order No.: 51200

MW Engine Nos.: 1564 & 1565

MW Class: Special

Despatch Date: 03/09/1902

Purchaser: Cape of Good Hope Govt., Algoa Bay, S.Africa

Nos.: No. 1 & No. 2

Notes: Fitted with steam brakes

(Other details/measurements shown (Type/Gauge/Cyl Size/Wheel Dia) agree with the figures you quote).

Interesting that the list has them numbered as 1 and 2 rather than 31 and 32.

Regards

Peter
