Hi Andre,
I note you have no builders numbers for these locos. Details are as follows:
Source:
Harman, Fred W. The Locomotives built by Manning Wardle & Company. Volume 3 Broad Gauge & Works List (1st ed. (undated)). Century Locoprints, Bridlington, UK. p.77. ISBN 0 9535313 2 5.
Details:
MW Order No.: 51200
MW Engine Nos.: 1564 & 1565
MW Class: Special
Despatch Date: 03/09/1902
Purchaser: Cape of Good Hope Govt., Algoa Bay, S.Africa
Nos.: No. 1 & No. 2
Notes: Fitted with steam brakes
(Other details/measurements shown (Type/Gauge/Cyl Size/Wheel Dia) agree with the figures you quote).
Interesting that the list has them numbered as 1 and 2 rather than 31 and 32.
Regards
Peter
