In 1912 the South African Railways took delivery of ten Class 3B steam locomotives with a 4-8-2 Mountain wheel arrangement that had been ordered by the Natal Government Railways the year before. They were numbered in the number range from 1479 to 1488. All ten locomotives were eventually reboilered with Watson Standard no. 2 boilers and reclassified to Class 3BR.
