[5] Received negatively at first due to speed limitation arising from the short wheelbase and stiff suspension, it gained support during service, and it was soon followed by Baldwin examples, and then steadily heavier and more powerful successors. Operated mainly on the broad gauged. Ownership transferred to Paddock Motors (Derick Classen) after a court case to resolve unpaid storage fees. On postage stamps, for example, it was "Zuid Afrika" from 1913, "Suidafrika" from the airmail stamps of 1925 and hyphenated "Suid-Afrika" from 1933. This created the risk of the locomotive tilting over on tight curves. Extensive gallery of narrow gauge railway photos. Not in use. Some have transferred for regular service, to cover for maintenance and traction requirements before there were enough dedicated WHR locomotives to operate the passenger service, others were for construction purposes only. This was the last locomotive built by Beyer, Peacock and Company in Manchester. [2][3][7], However, while the locomotives were being built, the decision was made to convert all the SWA narrow gauge lines to Cape gauge. [2][7], The final order for eight locomotives in 1967, numbered in the range from NG149 to NG156, turned out to be the last new steam locomotives to be ordered by the SAR. (There was a proposal, late in the steam era, for a 3'6" gauge East African Garratt which would have been a large locomotive even by U.S. standard . This 180hp Gardner 6LXB diesel-engined locomotive was built for R.N. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". Engine units sent with 156 to Ixopo. No. 141 was also painted red and nicknamed the Red Dragon. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2981, Beyer Peacock builders No.7630. It was planned to use them as tank-and-tender Garratts, semi-permanently attached to a water tender for use across the Namib desert in SWA, as was the practice with the Cape gauge Classes GM, GMA and GO tank-and-tender Garratts in South Africa.

[, Entered service as "404". A Garratt is therefore a single locomotive with double the tractive effort and, with its weight distributed over a long and flexible multi-axle wheelbase, a lower axle loading. Australian Standard Garratt; B Category:Bagnall; Baldwin 608; Baldwin Class 10-12-D; On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. Garratts may not be nearly as big as Big Boys, Yellowstones, Alleghenys, etc. The Class NG G16 rebuilding incorporated a gas producing combustion system (GPCS), Lempor exhausts, an improved spark arrester, lightweight multi-ring articulated piston valves, improved valve events and improved mechanical lubrication. G41 was put to work on the Colac to Beach Forest and Crowes line in the states (Victoria) south-west. [13] and included one locomotive experimentally converted to electric traction. Withdrawn in 2020 for a ten-yearly overhaul. With the FR-WHR link now open, FR locos visit fairly regularly on special services. These are Cockerill-built no. The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway introduced 25 simple (non-compound expansion) 2-8-8-2 locomotives in 1924 and 20 more in 1926. The term "Mallet" continued to be widely used for simple as well as compound locomotives. Two NGG16's working against the background of the Maluti Mountains. 300 class class Narrow Gauge 300 class-class 4-8-2+2-8-4 Garratt locomotives 300 class 300 to 305 Jump to: The 300 class class 4-8-2+2-8-4 type Garratt locomotives were built for use on the South Australian Railways narrow gauge system between Port Pirie and Broken Hill hauling heavy ore trains. Three of their Class NG G16 locomotives are homed here, and are regularly run during the Estate's annual events like the Cosmos Festival, Cherry Festival, Stars of Sandstone and others. Ex South African Railways NGG16 Class Garratt, green livery. Re-entered service in 2010 in crimson lake livery. The mill gave it the number 9 and used it to work sugar cane wagons in Innisfail district of Far North Queensland. As water and coal is consumed, the weight over the coupled wheels is reduced, thereby reducing their factor of adhesion, the ratio of weight on coupled wheels to tractive effort. [1] [2] Manufacturers [ edit] Narrow-gauge locomotives Category page Edit Locomotives built to run on a track gauge smaller than standard gauge. In 1964 they were both transferred to the Avontuur line in exchange for two newer Class NG G13 locomotives. Total rebuild carried out including a new all-welded steel boiler and conversion to 2'6" gauge. They weighed 760,000 to 772,000lb (345,000 to 350,000kg) with a 434,000lb (197,000kg) tender; at 133 feet (40.54m) long (including the tender), they could only be turned on a few of the system's turntables. The Beyer-Garratt was particularly well-suited for rail lines of narrow gauge with lightly laid tracks because the weight of the locomotive was spread over a considerable distance. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". [13] and included one locomotive experimentally converted to electric traction. The cost of the work paid off financially within twelve months and led to a proposal to develop a Class NG G17, but that never materialised since the line's farming produce traffic was gradually lost to road transport on the improving road network. [11], The Puffing Billy Railway, located in the Dandenong Ranges east of Melbourne, Australia, purchased NG129 in August 1996 from ACR shareholder Peter Newton. NG55, 4 June 2005, NG G11 no. It was still at Sandstone in July 2017, stored indoors in reasonable condition awaiting a THF decision on whether to leave it at Sandstone or return it to Humewood Road. [1][2], After completion of the Otavi Railway's gauge widening by April 1961, a flood of Class NG15 locomotives from South West Africa swamped the Humewood Road depot in Port Elizabeth. Typical for many locomotives is a livery that has thick horizontal bands of dark blue, light blue, silver and a yellow stripe. Not in operation and the power cars were scrapped. It was sold to Rustenburg Platinum Mines in 1956 and became their no. [1], The GPCS is a single-stage gas producer which achieves an improved combustion and steaming rate, reduces the emission of black smoke and overcomes the problem of clinkering.

Therefore, as the weight on the coupled wheels decreases, the locomotive has less adhesion and becomes increasingly prone to slipping. The most serious waste of fuel in a conventional steam locomotive is the loss of unburned coal particles from the fuel bed through the exhaust because of the rapid flow of air through the grate. After several years on light duties a new engine was fitted in October 1999. They were the first Garratt locomotives to enter service in South Africa. Independent cut-offs for the high-pressure and low-pressure cylinders were advocated by Mallet, but driving standards were inadequate and he later used combined cut-off control. Having first moved under its own steam on 5 February 2021,[4] the locomotive hauled its first (private) passenger train on 30 April 2021. [4], Throughout its history, Ceylon Government Railway had 410 steam locomotives. Scrap condition. The Australian Standard Garratt (ASG) was a Garratt steam locomotive designed in Australia during World War II, and used on 3 ft 6 in ( 1,067 mm) narrow gauge railway systems in Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia and Tasmania . Either method was expensive and, in such conditions, the Garratt design had distinct advantages. Locomotive is for sale. Moved from Paddock to Ixopo by December 2015 with the power units off 149. One class P1 locomotive was at Viharamahadevi (Victoria) Amusement Park[14], S1S8 Diesel Hydraulic Multiple Units, S9S14, S14A Diesel Electric & Electro-Diesel Multiple Units. Note: One class N2 locomotive was re-classified as Class E1 after fitting with Alstom pantographs, to be run under electric power. Caption 4. Finished in U.K. Pullman Car Company livery. Between 1937 and 1968, the South African Railways placed 34 Class NG G16 Garratt articulated 2-6-2+2-6-2 steam locomotives in service on the Avontuur Railway and on the Natal narrow gauge lines. Diesel locomotives and multiple unit numbering started from 500 an Armstrong Whitworth 122hp 0-4-0 diesel-electric shunter delivered in 1934[12] and reached 840 in 1991. NG5 as yard shunter at Humewood Road. This was further worsened by dynamic instability of the front end in running. Several units out of service shortly after introduction due to cost of spares and repair. It is believed to have been stored in Essex and in Somerset before being moved to the Exmoor Steam Railway. Also common for many locomotives is a livery of horizontal bands of green, brown, and a yellow stripe. Built for the North Wales Narrow Gauge Railways became Welsh Highland Railway property in 1923 and was reduced in height to fit the FR loading gauge. NG155 in 1990, were reclassified to Class NG G16A. This 335hp diesel hydraulic locomotive was built for work in a diamond mine and was later used for cement traffic at Port Elizabeth, South Africa. In 1938, locomotives were reclassified, based on wheel arrangement and gauge. One, no. NG55 was stored in the open at Ixopo awaiting extensive boiler repairs.

No. Underwent a major restoration at Boston Lodge Works. G42 was located on the Moe to Walhalla line in the states south-east. Garratt locomotives have two well spaced bogies on which are mounted the water . The units were unpopular with crews owing to frequent steam leakages and derailments resulting from the lack of pilot wheels. Chattenden and Upnor Railway. This was the last narrow gauge line left in Sri Lanka, and its conversion to broad gauge put the fleet of narrow gauge locomotives out of use. They had flat-topped water tanks with rounded top side edges, and were the first NGG16s to have welded tanks. Two 2-8-8-4 examples built in Russia in 195455 were probably the last Mallets built in Europe.[3]. gauge lines of the Bengal Nagpur Railway in India. "New as they were, the last C&O steam engines never got adequate maintenance, lengthening the list of work needed to bring 1309 back to life. 155, was rebuilt in 1990, but it retained its traditional ex-SAR black livery. Steam locomotives were numbered from 1 upwards, reaching 161 in 1911. Became Ffestiniog Railway property (in exchange for three bogie wagons) in 1926. It was to become the first Garratt to enter SAR service. Several smaller logging-railroad Mallets have been restored to operating condition, including 2-6-6-2T Black Hills Central #110 in Hill City, South Dakota, 2-6-6-2T Clover Valley Lumber Company #4 in Sunol, California,[15] and 2-4-4-2 Deep River Logging "Skookum" #7 in Garibaldi, Oregon. [9][10], The GPCS relies on the gasification of coal on a low temperature firebed so that the gases are then fully burnt above the firebed. Spent much of its working life in South Africa until it was replaced by diesel traction. Narrow gauge locomotives were numbered in the same list as broad gauge locomotives. Mallet designs were popular in Hungary, too. The improvement in performance and economy of the locomotive was brought about by the higher grate limit by means of the GPCS and better flow past the improved valves, valve motion and exhaust. As part of the ACR's strategy to keep the narrow gauge railway competitive, two of its Class NG G16 Garratt locomotives were rebuilt using technology similar to that used by mechanical engineer David Wardale in the creation of the Class 26 Red Devil in 1980, based on developments pioneered by Argentinian engineer L.D. History [ edit] [1][5], Unlike tender locomotives, Garratts are bi-directional, which eliminates the need for turntables or triangles, also known as wyes. Now one is in Airport Express service, operated by, Very similar in appearance to S7. 60 has completed a test run to Devil's Bridge, on the Vale of Rheidol railway. This page was last edited on 4 August 2022, at 12:33. Funded by the WHR Society. Porta. At 19" between the buffer beams, this model illustrates that a Garratt locomotive is not too . As of January 2023, No. 15) and Beyer, Peacock & Company (nos. The South African Railways Class NG G11 2-6-0+0-6-2 of 1919 was a narrow gauge steam locomotive. [6], Probably the greatest advantage of the Garratt was that, with its boiler and grate area suspended between two engine units without the need to leave room for coupled wheels and cylinders, wide and deep fireboxes with large grate areas and large diameter boilers were possible. When they were designated Class NG G16, the "NG/G13" was altered to "NG/G16" by milling out the 3 and riveting on a 6, as shown. In service on newly refurbished bogies. Transferred to Dinas in March by rail using the CTRL. Beyer-Peacock had stopped building steam locomotives after the last batch of Class NG G16 in 1958 and by 1968 they were in the process of closing the business altogether. The air inlets contain swirl inducers to spread the incoming air inside the firebox. NG55 entering Ixopo station, 3 September 2005. Subsequent to the exchange, the number "24" was allocated to Ashbury "Corridor" No. Diesel locomotives of Sri Lanka Railway are categorized into several classes and their sub classes. Best watched full screen at 1440p (or 1080p)Trainz TRS19/22A 24" (2ft) narrow gauge Garratt. The following locomotives are normally Ffestiniog Railway stock that have run on the WHR. NG88, Beyer, Peacock-built no. Typically they feature horizontal bands of colour running their entire length and a solid colour on the front and back ends. 482 Rio Grande No. [5], The Railways upgraded its service to diesel locomotives, under the leadership of B. D. Rampala in the mid 1950s. Chesapeake & Ohio 2-6-6-2 #1309, the last domestic steam locomotive built by Baldwin, was scheduled for restoration in September 2017. They had outside plate frames, Walschaerts valve gear, Belpaire fireboxes and used saturated steam and slide valves. Notable locomotives was the last remaining Australian Standard Garratt and the narrow gauge Clyde-GM G-8 numbered D1. They could develop 6,290 horsepower (4,690kW) on the drawbar at 35mph (56km/h) and were designed for a top speed of 70mph (110km/h), though they rarely saw these speeds. They have shown their ability to handle loads of 2,000 tons on grades of 1 in 100 at 15 m.p.h., compared with previous loads of 1,650 tons hauled at 8 m.p.h. A development of carriages 2043, 2044 and 2045. NG87 and Beyer, Peacock-built numbers NG130, NG138 and NG143, are used for operational purposes. Sitting in the comfort of one of the first-class Pullman carriages is surely one of the finest experiences in North Wales, as is the excitement of riding in one of the open carriages behind the world's most powerful narrow-gauge steam locomotives, the Beyer Garratt NG/G16. A third stage (triple expansion) may be employed. Although it had found early favor in Europe, especially on lightly engineered railways, the Mallet type was generally superseded by the Garratt locomotive by the mid-1920s. On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. More Pictures > 400 [1][2], Altogether 34 Class NG G16 2-6-2+2-6-2 locomotives were built for the South African Railways (SAR) between 1937 and 1968. [2][3][4][5], The locomotives were superheated, with a superheater area of 14.9 square metres (160 square feet) and fifteen elements of 38 millimetres (1.5 inches) outside diameter and a 31 millimetres (1.2 inches) bore. Out of service waiting for a general overhaul and replacement boiler (September 2022). The various Railbus units that are currently operated are not listed below. Operated mainly on the broad gauged, Very similar in appearance to S6. Slightly shorter but even heavier and more powerful were 2-6-6-6s built by Lima for the C&O and the Virginian between 1941 and 1948, which weighed 778,000lb (353,000kg) and could produce up to 6,900 horsepower (5,100kW) at 45mph (72km/h). The single surviving example of a cab-forward Mallet is Southern Pacific 4294, on display at the California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento, California. [1][2][3][6], The fourth batch of seven locomotives, numbered in the range from NG137 to NG143, were the last steam locomotives to be built by Beyer, Peacock and were built to the specifications of the Tsumeb Copper Corporation in South West Africa (SWA). A Garratt locomotive is a locomotive with two separate engine units, useful for pulling a lot on tracks with a small curve radius like narrow gauge tracks or Lego tracks. "Societe Franco-Belge De Materiel Des Chemins De Fer Raismes, France" built 4-8-2+2-8-4 type narrow gauge Garratt steam locomotive. It was built for the Drewry Car Co, for Underhill Day & Co, for the South Johnstone Co-operative Sugar Milling Association in Australia. Captions 26, 32. [1], When the four narrow gauge branchline systems in Natal were closed down by the SAR, the Weenen and Mid-Illovo lines were torn up. Both modified locomotives were reclassified to Class NG G16A. [13] This gave them a second almost-complete Class NG G16 which will possibly also be totally rebuilt in the future. As of September 2021 it hauls tourist trains on 5% grades.[18]. On cabside number plates, the spelling of the Afrikaans inscription was later altered with "AFRIKANSE" changed to "AFRIKAANSE" and with "SUID AFRIKAANSE SPOORWE" unhyphenated, and stil later to "SUID-AFRIKAANSE SPOORWE" hyphenated. In February 2020 it was announced that 141 would give up its 16A power units to make 155 whole with 141 being cosmetically restored at some point in time using available standard NG16 parts at Sandstone. The fact that they did not need to be run through to terminals to be turned around also made increased operational flexibility possible. ABPF-SC (Brazilian Association for Railroad Preservation Santa Catarina branch) has restored a 2-6-6-2 Mallet to working order. Remaining large components re-assembled using 116 boiler for static display at Ixopo by January 2019. Bought by the Ffestiniog Railway in 1981 and re-gauged, it was re-bodied and overhauled at Boston Lodge in 1986 and frequently used on 'pull and push' trains.

Locomotive Wiki. 729 ex demonstrator, ran as DR V150.001; imported 1970. Re-entered service in October 2022 after overhaul and the fitting of a Hunslet built boiler shipped from Australia ex 129. Beyer, Peacock and Company was only able to deliver the first three locomotives in 1919 after cessation of hostilities. On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. [13], Both superheated locomotives still exist. In 2010, the carriage was named 'Glaslyn' by Queen Elizabeth II at a ceremony at Dinas station. [3], Although they had already been ordered in 1914, production was disrupted by the First World War. Another 2 WDG4D locomotives are to be arrived. but they are still an impressive piece of machinery. The final Garratt locomotive built at Gorton works, South African Railways NG/G16 No.143 is also now at the Welsh Highland Railway. However, in view of the fact that all the carrying wheels were fitted with roller bearing axle boxes and arranged as swiveling pony trucks, compared to the Class NG G13 of which the inner carrying wheels were built to the Glsdorf system which allowed the axle some lateral movement, it was soon decided to reclassify them to Class NG G16. This page was last edited on 27 February 2023, at 16:41. Price: GBP80 plus GBP1.50 p+p in the UK. The last known fate of all the Class NG G16 locomotives, as of October 25th 2022, are shown in Table I. The strongest Mallet locomotives in Europe were the members of the MV 601 which was built for the Hungarian State Railways, it was a 2-6-6-0 locomotive. The run to Devil's Bridge was part of testing at the narrow-gauge railway, which runs for 11 34 miles whilst visiting 9 stations and halts. Like the Class 26, no. NG129's restoration was planned to coincide with the next time that no. Coal fired. [citation needed].
