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 {{whyte|0-6-0|T}} 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.Espitalier, T.J.; Day, W.A.J. (1948). The Locomotive in South Africa - A Brief History of Railway Development. Chapter VII - South African Railways (Continued). South African Railways and Harbours Magazine, January 1948. p. 31.
Manufacturer
During 1911, two Cape Gauge {{whyte|0-6-0|T}} 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.Fricke, Klaus; Bude, Roland; Murray, Martin (1978). O&K Steam Locomotives Works List 1892-1945. Verlag Railroadiana, Buschhoven, Germany, {{ISBN|3-921894-00-X}} and Arley Hall Publications, Bristol, UK, {{ISBN|0 9506092 1 8}}.
Characteristics
The locomotive's coal bunker had a capacity of {{convert|1|lt|t|1|abbr=off}} and the side-tanks had a water capacity of {{convert|484|impgal|L|sigfig=3|abbr=off}}. It had coupled wheels of {{convert|31+1/2|in|mm|0|abbr=off}} diameter and cylinders of {{convert|13|in|mm|0|abbr=off}} bore and {{convert|15+3/4|in|mm|0|abbr=on}} stroke. The total weight of the engine in full working order was {{convert|22|lt|kg|sigfig=4|abbr=off}} and it had a tractive effort of {{convert|8660|lbf|kN|abbr=off}} at 75% of boiler pressure.
Service
The two engines were placed in shunting service in Lüderitz. It is not known whether they survived the First World War and they do not appear to have still been in service on 1 April 1922, when all railways in the former German colony came under the administration of the South African Railways.
