The South African type MS tender was a steam locomotive tender.
Type MS tenders entered service in 1928, as tenders to the Class 19 4-8-2 Mountain type branchline steam locomotives which were placed in service by the South African Railways in that year.[1][2][3]
Type MS tenders were built in 1928 by Berliner Maschinenbau in Germany.[1]
The South African Railways (SAR) placed four Class 19 4-8-2 Mountain type branchline locomotives in service in 1928. The engines and tenders were designed under the direction of Col F.R. Collins DSO, Chief Mechanical Engineer of the SAR, by Research and Test Engineer M.M. Loubser, himself later to be appointed as CME. The locomotives were placed in service on the line between Kimberley and Vryburg, but they eventually spent their later working years at Empangeni and on the Bergville branch in Natal. The Type MS entered service as tenders to these locomotives.[1][4][5]
