A successful 1927 design, the 220 Class was adopted as a wartime standard, other examples going elsewhere in Africa and to Australia. Notable for their pale blue livery, some survived into the late 1970's. Circular cast brass, 7 3/4" diameter, unrestored and quite a few dents as many plates from African locomotives seem to have.
