The South African type XM1 tender was a steam locomotive tender.
Type XM1 tenders were Type TM tenders which were reclassified after their intermediate draw and buffing gear were altered to an "X_" tender configuration. They first entered service in 1912, as tenders to the SAR Class MC 2-6-6-0 Denver type Mallet locomotive.[1][2][3]
Type TM tenders were built between 1910 and 1912 by the North British Locomotive Company (NBL). The two Type XM1 tenders originally entered service on the South African Railways (SAR) in 1912, as Type TM tenders to Class MC 2-6-6-0 Denver type Mallet locomotives.[1][2][3][4][5]
Rebuilding
At some stage before 1941, the intermediate draw and buffing gear of two of the tenders, numbers 1607 and 1615, were altered to an "X_" tender configuration. These two tenders were reclassified to Type XM1.[3]
