South African Railways No. 4112 was built in 1958 by North British, Glasgow, Subcontracted from Beyer Peacock. Built as a GMA/GMAM class. GMA was used on lighter branch lines. GMAM by removing some steel plates, were used on mainline and carried more water and coal. All locomotives were coupled to an auxiliary water tender. The class operated until the early 1980s. It is a 4-8-2+2-8-4 Garratt articulated locomotive of 3' 6" gauge. It has received some cosmetic restoration but much of it is still rough and in need of attention.
