what is it?
The NZASM 18 Tonner 0-6-0ST of 1890 was a South African steam locomotive from the pre-Union era in Transvaal. In 1890, the Nederlandsche-Zuid-Afrikaansche Spoorweg-Maatschappij of the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek (Transvaal Republic) placed six 0-6-0ST locomotives in service on construction work. Since the railway classified its locomotives according to their weight, these engines were known as 18 Tonners.
