The South African type ET1 tender was a steam locomotive tender.
Type ET1 tenders were modified and reclassified Type ET tenders, which had entered service as tenders to Class 15F 4-8-2 Mountain type steam locomotives in 1947 and 1948. The modification resulted in a tender with a larger coal capacity, but the same water capacity.[1][2]
The Type ET tender first entered service in 1947, as tenders to the last batch of 100 Class 15F locomotives to enter service on the South African Railways (SAR). They were built by North British Locomotive Company to designs by Doctor M.M. Loubser, Chief Mechanical Engineer of the SAR from 1939 to 1949, and were equipped with mechanical stokers.[3][4][5]
