Between 1896 and 1901 the Cape Government Railways placed a second batch of altogether forty-six 7th Class steam locomotives with a 4-8-0 Mastodon wheel arrangement in service, built by three manufacturers (Sharp, Stewart and Company, Dübs and Company and Neilson and Company). In 1912, when all but two of them were assimilated into the South African Railways, they were renumbered in the range from 988 to 1031 and reclassified to Class 7A.
