Four more batches were purchased for the Otavi and for the Tsumeb Copper Corporation during the subsequent years, built by Henschel and Son and Société Franco-Belge, bringing the total number of these locomotives up to twenty-one by 1958. When the Otavi Railway was regauged to Cape gauge in 1960, all twenty-one locomotives were taken over by the South African Railways. They were classified as Class NG15, renumbered in the ranges 17 to 19, 117 to 124, 132 to 136 and 144 to 148, and transferred to the Eastern Cape for service on the Langkloof narrow gauge line where they were commonly known as Kalaharis.

DSWA Class Hd 40 (2-8-2) |
| Description: |
In 1912 the German administration in Deutsch-Südwest-Afrika, nowNamibia, acquired three Class Hd locomotives with a 2-8-2 Mikado type wheel arrangement to lease to the Otavi Mining and Railway Company for use on the line from Swakopmund to Karibib. When these locomotives were taken onto the roster of the South African Railways after World War I, they retained their German classification and engine numbers, but with an "SW" prefix to their numbers. Between 1928 and 1930 they were reclassified as Class NG5 along with similar locomotives that were placed in service by the South African Railways in 1922.
