NG16

NG16 is a designation that can refer to several different things, most notably a class of steam locomotive and a region in the United Kingdom.

In the context of railways, NG16 refers to a class of 2-foot narrow-gauge steam locomotives built by Manning Wardle for the South African Railways. These locomotives were designed for industrial and lighter passenger services. Several NG16 locomotives have been preserved and operate on heritage railways, particularly in the UK. One notable example is NG16 No. 193, which was originally built for the Natal Government Railways and is now a popular attraction on the Ffestiniog Railway. These locomotives are characterized by their distinctive appearance and their historical significance in South African railway history.

As a geographical location, NG16 is a postcode district in the United Kingdom, specifically in the NG postcode area which covers Nottingham and its surrounding areas. This postcode district covers parts of Nottinghamshire and is primarily a residential and commercial area. Further specific details about the NG16 postcode district would typically be found in directories or mapping services rather than a general encyclopedia.
