The South West African 0-6-0T of 1911 was a steam locomotive from the German South West Africa era.
In 1911, the Lüderitzbucht Eisenbahn (Lüderitzbucht Railway) in German South West Africa placed two 0-6-0T locomotives in service as shunting engines. They were apparently no longer in service when all railways in the territory came under the administration of the South African Railways in 1922.[1]
During 1911, two Cape Gauge 0-6-0T locomotives were delivered to the Lüderitzbucht Eisenbahn by Orenstein & Koppel. The locomotives, with works numbers 4256 and 4257, were supplied in January 1911 to the order of Consortium Bachstein-Koppel. They were numbered 201 and 202 and were placed in service as shunting engines.[1][2]
