Seven side-tank locomotives were built for the [[Cape Government Railways]] (CGR) by [[Robert Stephenson & Company]] in 1875. Since they were found to be fast and reliable engines, four more were delivered in 1880, built by [[Neilson & Company]] and practically identical to the previous seven, but equipped with small optional four-wheeled water tenders. They were all designated [[CGR 1st Class 4-4-0T|1st Class]] when a locomotive classification system was introduced by the CGR.<ref name="Holland 1"/><ref name="Littley 2">''C.G.R.

In 1879, the Cape Government Railways placed four [[CGR 1st Class 4-4-0|1st Class]] tender locomotives in service, built by the [[Avonside Engine Company]]. They were intended for fast passenger service on the Cape Western and Eastern systems and were followed by eleven more from Neilson & Company in 1880.<ref name="Holland 1"/><ref name="Littley 2"/>

In 1881, the CGR placed six more [[CGR 1st Class 4-4-0TT|1st Class]] tank-and-tender locomotives in service on its Cape Midland system. These were built by Neilson & Company as tender locomotives without on-board coal bunkers and with permanently attached coal and water tenders. Two of them became South African Railways class 01 in 1912.<ref name="Holland 1"/><ref name="Littley 2"/>

Between 1882 and 1891, eleven {{nowrap|4-4-0T}} tank locomotives for the Wynberg suburban line in [[Cape Town]] were delivered to the CGR from Neilson and [[Dübs & Company]]. Designated [[CGR 2nd Class 4-4-0T|2nd Class]] and known as ''Wynberg Tanks'', ten of them became South African Railways class 02 in 1912.<ref name="Paxton-Bourne"/><ref name="Holland 1"/>

In 1882, two tank locomotives [[Kowie Railway 4-4-0T|named ''Grahamstown'' and ''Bathurst'']] entered passenger service on the private Kowie Railway between Grahamstown and Port Alfred, which was still under construction at the time.<ref name="Holland 1"/>

[[File:CGR 3rd Class 4-4-0 1883 no. M83 Sir Hercules.jpg|thumb|[[CGR 3rd Class 4-4-0 1883|CGR 3rd Class 4-4-0]] ''Sir Hercules'']]
Eighteen tender passenger locomotives were delivered to the CGR from Neilson & Company in 1883, designated [[CGR 3rd Class 4-4-0 1883|3rd Class]]. They were ordered for passenger service out of [[Cape Town]], [[East London, Eastern Cape|East London]] and [[Port Elizabeth]] respectively and were equipped with six-wheeled tenders.<ref name="Paxton-Bourne"/><ref name="Holland 1"/>

In 1884, the CGR placed two experimental [[CGR 3rd Class 4-4-0 1884|3rd Class]] tender locomotives in service, designed by the Cape Eastern System to be able to use the low-grade local coal with its high incombustible matter content.<ref name="Holland 1"/>

In 1889, the CGR placed 24 [[CGR 3rd Class 4-4-0 1889|3rd Class]] tender locomotives in service. They were the first stock locomotives to be built in quantity to detailed designs prepared in the [[Cape Colony|Cape of Good Hope]].<ref name="Holland 1"/>

[[File:CGR 3rd Class 4-4-0 1898.jpg|thumb|left|CGR 3rd Class ''Wynberg Tender'']]
In 1898, the CGR placed six [[CGR 3rd Class 4-4-0 1898|3rd Class ''Wynberg Tender'']] locomotives in passenger service on the suburban lines in Cape Town.<ref name="Paxton-Bourne"/><ref name="Holland 1"/>

In 1901, the CGR placed another six [[CGR 3rd Class 4-4-0 1901|3rd Class ''Wynberg Tender'']] locomotives in suburban service in Cape Town. They were a heavier and more powerful version of the locomotives of 1898 and were built for speed, with the largest coupled wheels of any locomotive on the CGR to date at {{convert|60|in|mm|abbr=off|sigfig=3}} diameter.<ref name="Paxton-Bourne"/><ref name="Holland 1"/>

In 1903, the CGR placed the last eight [[CGR 3rd Class 4-4-0 1903|3rd Class]] ''Wynberg Tenders'' in suburban service in Cape Town. While they appeared to be virtually identical to the locomotives of 1901 at first glance, they were heavier and more powerful.<ref name="Paxton-Bourne"/><ref name="Holland 1"/>
