Excerpt: In 1952 and 1953 the South African Railways placed one hundred Class S2 shunter steam locomotives with a 0-8-0 wheel arrangement in service. By 1952 the need arose for shunting locomotives with a light axle load for harbour work, where most of the trackwork was laid with light rail. Under the direction of L.C. Grubb, Chief Mechanical Engineer (CME) of the South African Railways (SAR) from 1949 to 1954, specifications were prepared for a light locomotive with the 0-8-0 wheel arrangement that had already been proven successful with the Class S and Class S1 shunters. In order to keep the total weight of the engine and tender down to approximately 100 long tons (100 tonnes), it was to be equipped with the Watson Standard no. 1 boiler, the smallest of the standard boilers. When tenders were called for, a number of firms responded, but all except one stated that it would not be possible to construct the locomotive within the stipulated weight. Only the firm of Friedrich Krupp AG of Essen in Germany undertook to build the locomotives to the required specifications. When design work commenced after the signing of the contract, however, it was discovered that the other tendering firms had been correct and that the locomotives could not be built within the specified weight limit if the specifications were to be adhered to. It was eventually agreed that Krupp should design a suitable smaller boiler that would bring the locomotive's weight down to a level that would be in line with the stipulated maximum. The end result was a locomotive that had the appearance of a Cape gauge locomotive with a Narrow gauge boiler, particularly when viewed from the front. One hundred Class S2 locomotives were subsequently built by Krupp and delivered between 1952 and 1953, numbered 3701 to 3800. Even with the smaller Krupp designed boiler, the locomotive's eventual working order weight of 104 long tons (106 tonnes) was still 4 long tons (4.1 tonnes) more than the desired maximum.
