Between 1919 and 1929 the South African Railways placed sixty-seven Class 12A steam locomotives with a 4-8-2 Mountain wheel arrangement in service, built in five batches by North British Locomotive Company and Henschel and Son and numbered in the ranges 1520 to 1550 and 2103 to 2138. During the 1940s altogether forty-four Class 12A locomotives were reboilered with a rather massive boiler designed by Doctor M.M. Loubser, and reclassified to Class 12AR.
