Re: 1,182 SAR steam photos
Top photo: SAR Union-Garratt. It had the coal bunker and hind water bunker on the extended boiler frame, and therefore was not as successful as a normal Garratt.
Bottom photo: class GL Garratt. These had the power of three class 1E electric locomotives or two class 14 4-8-2 steamers. There was a proposal for a quadruplex 2-6-6-2+2-6-6-2 Garratt, but it didn't happen.
Here's the link to the Wiki article. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Afr ... -2%2B2-8-4
Here's videos of class GLs working. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lglIMCqb9TY

Unidentified Garratts, some with swing-out seats in use. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOx9t0MSV3s
