In 1927 and 1928 the South African Railways placed twelve Class NG G13 Garratt articulated steam locomotives with a 2-6-2+2-6-2 wheel arrangement in service on the Langkloof and Alfred County Railway narrow gauge lines. Designed and built by Hannoversche Maschinenbau AG (Hanomag), it was to become the standard narrow gauge Garratt locomotive in South Africa for the next forty years. They were built in three batches and numbered in the ranges 49 to 50, 58 to 60 and 77 to 83.
