A gauge 1 burgundy and silver two-power-bogey Drakensberg South African Railways Garratt NGG13 steam locomotive model, made by LGB/Aster.
The Garratt design had a conventional-looking locomotive body, with a second drive unit attached in front of the boiler. The Garratt's two power bogeys gave the locomotive a total of twelve drive wheels in a comparatively small space, and gave the South African Railway a way of running high-traction locomotives on narrow-gauge track.
