[, Overturned near Cutana on "Broken Hill Express". In 1964 they were both transferred to the Avontuur line in exchange for two newer Class NG G13 locomotives. While not an outright failure these were considered an unsuccessful design, and by 1916-1917 these units had been converted to a conventional 2-10-0 arrangement. 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. Therefore, as the weight on the coupled wheels decreases, the locomotive has less adhesion and becomes increasingly prone to slipping. [10] This system was abandoned in 1928,[10] with new locomotives being numbered from 249 upwards,[11] and reaching 336 by 1940, and 362 in 1951 when the last steam locomotive a 4-8-0 from WG Bagnall was delivered. The two locomotives which received this treatment, no. It was sold to Rustenburg Platinum Mines in 1956 and became their no. These two were superheated and, as a result, had longer smokeboxes and were 9+12 inches (241 millimetres) longer in overall length. The South African Railways Class NG G11 2-6-0+0-6-2 of 1919 was a narrow gauge steam locomotive. Ordered by Sri Lanka Veneers & Plywood. [1], The modifications were similar in scope to that of the Red Devil, although not as extensive. Locomotives and train sets of Sri Lanka Railways consist mostly of diesel locomotives and multiple units. Mallet proposed cross-compounding in which a conventional steam locomotive configuration would have one high-pressure cylinder and one low-pressure cylinder. [2][4], These pre-war locomotives, like the earlier Class NG G13 locomotives, were built with riveted coal and water bunkers and with elliptical tops on the water tanks. It was one of seven 4-4-0 locomotives built that year for the Ceylon Government Railway by Robert Stephenson & Company (nos. Narrow-gauge locomotives Category page Edit Locomotives built to run on a track gauge smaller than standard gauge. Sub class M10A was introduced in 2013 which is a technical variant. Initially outshopped in photographic grey livery on completion in 2009 and was then painted into midnight blue livery from March 2010. On postage stamps, for example, it was "Zuid Afrika" from 1913, "Suidafrika" from the airmail stamps of 1925 and hyphenated "Suid-Afrika" from 1933. Whereafter replacement locomotives were given the same number as the locomotive that they replaced with an "R" prefix; until such time as the old locomotive, now running with an "O" prefix, was finally withdrawn. Altogether 34 more 2-6-2+2-6-2 Double Prairie type narrow gauge locomotives were built, spread over five orders from three manufacturers over a span of 32 years. Only Garratt to get to Quorn [, Worked to Broken Hill. 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). 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. [, Entered service as "409". [1][2][3], The system of grouping narrow-gauge locomotives into classes was only adopted by the SAR somewhere between 1928 and 1930. [4], On the South African Railways (SAR) narrow gauge lines, that solution was found in 1914 when orders were placed with Beyer, Peacock and Company for a narrow-gauge Garratt locomotive. Since no other overseas manufacturers were available to supply them, they were built by Hunslet-Taylor in Germiston using boilers supplied by their overseas principals, the Hunslet Engine Company in England. Drawing Office, Pretoria, 28 November 1932, South African Railways and Harbours Locomotive Diagram Book, 2'0" & 3'6" Gauge Steam Locomotives, 15 August 1941, as amended, South African National Railway And Steam Museum, "Technology in Australia 1788-1988, Chapter 7, page 460". "Societe Franco-Belge De Materiel Des Chemins De Fer Raismes, France" built 4-8-2+2-8-4 type narrow gauge Garratt steam locomotive. The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway introduced 25 simple (non-compound expansion) 2-8-8-2 locomotives in 1924 and 20 more in 1926. [, Entered service as "402". [2][3][4][5], In 1937, Socit Anonyme John Cockerill of Seraing in Belgium delivered four new 2-6-2+2-6-2 locomotives, numbered in the range from NG85 to NG88, which were so similar to the older locomotives that they were initially designated Class NG G13 as well. Typical for many locomotives is a livery that has thick horizontal bands of dark blue, light blue, silver and a yellow stripe. Sri Lanka's first railway locomotive was Leopold, in 1864. The Mallet locomotive is a type of articulated steam railway locomotive, invented by the Swiss engineer Anatole Mallet (1837-1919).. [, Entered service as "404". Basil Roberts caught 2-8-0 + 0-8-2 Garratt GB 827 working an engineer's train at Pyinyaung on the mountainous branch above Thazi on 16th November 1972. Notable locomotives was the last remaining Australian Standard Garratt and the narrow gauge Clyde-GM G-8 numbered D1. The final Garratt locomotive built at Gorton works, South African Railways NG/G16 No.143 is also now at the Welsh Highland Railway. [, Entered service as "406". Imported in two variants, one for run on commuter services and other run on long distance services. The South African Railways Class NG G16 2-6-2+2-6-2 was a narrow gauge steam locomotive. The locomotive will be overhauled and re-gauged before entering service.[8]. 6 and 7). [12], Narrow gauge locomotives were numbered in the same list as broad gauge locomotives. [1], As part of their strategy to keep the railway competitive, two of the ACR's Class NG G16 locomotives were rebuilt using technology similar to that used in the Cape gauge Class 26 Red Devil. This then was what became understood as a "Mallet" locomotive: an articulated locomotive in which the rear set of driving wheels were fixed in the main frame of the locomotive; an articulated truck carrying a second set of driving wheels; and compounding in which the high-pressure cylinders drove the axles on the main frame and the articulated axles were driven by low-pressure steam. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2979, Beyer Peacock builders No.7628. is now at Paton County Narrow Gauge Railway . 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. 15) and Beyer, Peacock & Company (nos. Some are the locomotives owned by Sri Lanka Ports Authority and Holcim Sri Lanka limited. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". Re-entered service in 2010 in crimson lake livery. Not in operation and the power cars were scrapped. On December 17, 2021, C&O 1309 (now WMSR 1309) entered excursion service on the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad. The deal also included 20 container carriers and 30 fuel tank wagons. Unrestored. Fully upholstered, heated and double glazed coach with double doors for wheelchair access, sponsored by First Hydro and delivered to Dinas in September 1997 for the start of the Caernarfon service. ucla prime cohort; h e b shortbread cookies. Captions 26, 32. Other basic elements of the locomotive remained more or less the same. [2] Since then, various types of diesel locomotives were added to the service. Not to be confused with the steam locomotive E1, this electric locomotive is not in commercial use. Subsequent to the exchange, the number "24" was allocated to Ashbury "Corridor" No. It was the first locomotive to be moved to Dinas, in January 1997. (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 . Power car is a single-ended locomotive without passenger interiors. Four were delivered by Socit Anonyme John Cockerill of Seraing in Belgium in 1937, twenty-two by Beyer, Peacock and Company between 1939 and 1958, and the last eight by Hunslet-Taylor in Germiston, Transvaal in 1967 and 1968. Collector's Series These kits are faithful depictions of classic narrow gauge designs, covering prototypes from 1'11" gauge (60cm) to 2'6". [11] Several however, have now been cut up for scrap (see table below). [3] Manufacturer [ edit] Constructed by Nippon Sharyo in Japan, they were the only Mallets built in Asia. It would have been most interesting if Alco would have been able to sell a few Garratts to D&RGW for the narrow gauge lines. [8] The AT&SF also had a number of compound 2-10-10-2's, assembled in their own shops from existing 2-10-2's using a kit, supplied by Baldwin, consisting of the front 10-wheel frame and a boiler extension. Built in 1926, the Garratt locos almost had the tractive effort of a K Class, on a narrow gauge line. No. Between 1937 and 1968 the South African Railways placed 34 Class NG G16 2-6-2+2-6-2 Garratt articulated steam locomotives in service. Porta. Beyer, Peacock and Company was only able to deliver the first three locomotives in 1919 after cessation of hostilities. 143 re-entered service in 2011 in green livery for the Fairlies, Garratts and Mallets competition. 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. Australian Standard Garratt; B Category:Bagnall; Baldwin 608; Baldwin Class 10-12-D; [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). Challenger #3985 was the largest operational steam locomotive in the world until the restoration of UP 4014. [1][2][8][9], With the GPCS, the coal is heated to drive off the volatile components which are then burned in the secondary air admitted above the grate. This page was last edited on 21 April 2022, at 19:32. Porta. Back in operation as of February 2020. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". [1][2], The success of the Class NG G13 narrow gauge Garratts that were introduced by the South African Railways (SAR) in 1927 led to a decision that any additional narrow gauge articulated locomotives would be of the same design. It was in service until 1979, and as of September 2021 is still under restoration. The 400 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. Funded by the WHR Society. "[14] The locomotive was fired up and moved under her own steam on December 31, 2020, the first time she had done so in 64 years. 4014 is the largest, heaviest, and most powerful operational steam locomotive in the world. [3], The London and North Western Railway locomotive engineer F W Webb adopted the idea and converted some existing locomotives in 1879, followed by de Glehn and others in the 1880s and several American engineers in the 1890s which included some vertical boiler railcar applications. [citation needed], The Welsh Highland Railway in Wales has five Class NG G16 locomotives. 156 power units were cut up at Paddock in October 2017. Running numbers 99 5901-3 and 99 5906 are in working order. Coal fired. 318 Denver & Rio Grande Southern No. In 2010, the carriage was named 'Glaslyn' by Queen Elizabeth II at a ceremony at Dinas station. [4], Throughout its history, Ceylon Government Railway had 410 steam locomotives. M6 ICE locomotives have a unique ICE livery of brown and orange. Ex South African Railways NGG16 Class Garratt, green livery. The ASG was to be a suitable narrow gauge locomotive aimed at easing a chronic shortage of motive power on the various state 3'6" gauge systems, which was a result of the advent of World War 2. [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. An additional "simple" (as opposed to compound) unit with road #1955 featuring the same arrangement was also produced. We would like to show you a description here but the site won't allow us. Back in operation by April 2019 after a boiler retube. [1][2], When the lower section of the Avontuur line was dieselised upon the arrival of the Class 91-000 diesel-electric locomotives in 1973, all the Class NG G16 locomotives still in service were transferred to various branches in Natal, where they remained until they were withdrawn from service. [, Entered service as "405". Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2975, Beyer Peacock builders No.7624. No. 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. Steam locomotives were numbered from 1 upwards, reaching 161 in 1911. Scrap condition. They had outside plate frames, Walschaerts valve gear, Belpaire fireboxes and used saturated steam and slide valves. Only 3 CC50 engines survived. [1][9], One visible difference between the original and the rebuilt locomotives is the megaphone-shaped Lempor chimney, which contains a cylindrical mixing chamber and a wide angled diffuser. In 2017, at least four establishments still operated or were restoring ex-SAR Class NG G16 Garratts. [1][5], Unlike tender locomotives, Garratts are bi-directional, which eliminates the need for turntables or triangles, also known as wyes. This was further worsened by dynamic instability of the front end in running. Rebuilt in 1989 to Class NGG16A, Privately owned by the Mortimer family, in very poor condition. Class of South African 26-2+2-6-2 Garratt locomotives, South African Railways and Harbours Locomotive Diagram Book, 2'0" & 3'6" Gauge Steam Locomotives, 15 August 1941, as amended, Rebuilt Garratt undertakes its first Australian run, SATS / Transnet NG/G16 Garratt Fleet Disposal, Stars of Sandstone, Official Operating Programme for 12th - 21st April 2014. With the FR-WHR link now open, FR locos visit fairly regularly on special services. Locomotive is for sale. In January 2017, fully rebuilt, it was transferred to the Sandstone Estates Railroad where it made its operational debut in March 2017 during the annual Stars of Sandstone event. The work was carried out at Port Shepstone. My model of these very attractive Garratt locomotives is Peter Angus works No.119, and is built to the scale of 16mm to the foot for operation on 45mm track. Purchased in 2014 from Exmoor Steam Railway by Steam Powered Services and currently owned by Peter Best. Ex-Chattenden and Upnor Railway coach acquired for the WHR from the South Tynedale Railway and regauged from 2ft 6in gauge. 2-6-6-2T Mallet #110, Black Hills Central Railroad, USA, 2-6-6-2 Restored Mallet #204, ABPF, Rio Negrinho, Santa Catarina, Brazil, A 2-6-6-2 Mallet Locomotive at the Northwest Railway Museum in Snoqualmie, Washington, Portuguese Railways Mallet locomotive No. It was to become the first Garratt to enter SAR service. [1][2], The Beyer, Peacock locomotives ordered by the SAR, numbers NG109 to NG116 and NG125 to NG131, were shared more or less equally between the Natal and Langkloof lines. Withdrawn from service in 2020, awaiting a replacement boiler for a new ten year ticket. By 1892 110 Mallets were at work, of which 24 were standard gauge; by 1900 there were nearly 400, of which 218 were on standard gauge or Russian gauge (1,520mm (.mw-parser-output .frac{white-space:nowrap}.mw-parser-output .frac .num,.mw-parser-output .frac .den{font-size:80%;line-height:0;vertical-align:super}.mw-parser-output .frac .den{vertical-align:sub}.mw-parser-output .sr-only{border:0;clip:rect(0,0,0,0);height:1px;margin:-1px;overflow:hidden;padding:0;position:absolute;width:1px}4ft11+2732in)). [1], Ex South African Railways NGG 16 Class Garratt. Unrestored, scrap condition. Garratts may not be nearly as big as Big Boys, Yellowstones, Alleghenys, etc. Operated mainly on the broad gauged. Note piston valves on high-pressure cylinders and slide valves on low-pressure cylinders. The Mallet locomotive is a type of articulated steam railway locomotive, invented by the Swiss engineer Anatole Mallet (18371919). [12] Completion of no. Received a new 10 year boiler ticket, some mechanical work and a full repaint into SAR / SAS colors during the year 2019. Note the clear exhausts in the picture below of numbers 141 and 155 double-heading on the climb from Bongwana to Nqabeni. but they are still an impressive piece of machinery. These U.S. locomotives were paralleled to some extent by heavy-haul versions in the USSR, though without any attempt at faster running. [13] and included one locomotive experimentally converted to electric traction. [3][14], Beyer, Peacock and Company works picture of no. Alternative solutions would either be double-heading longer trains or re-building and re-aligning large parts of the lines to accommodate heavier locomotives. That proposal, however, never became reality since the line's farming produce traffic was gradually lost to road transport on the improving road network, a decline which eventually led to the ACR's demise. [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. One class P1 locomotive was at Viharamahadevi (Victoria) Amusement Park[14], S1S8 Diesel Hydraulic Multiple Units, S9S14, S14A Diesel Electric & Electro-Diesel Multiple Units. The Puffing Billy Railway also purchased no. [4], A powerful steam locomotive is problematic on a track gauge of only 2 feet (610 millimetres) with a tight minimum radius of about 150 feet (46 metres) which, in practice, restricts powerful rigid-frame locomotives to four-coupled wheels, often with at least one flangeless coupled wheelset. It was available in the WHR Edison Energy Green, No 138, Plain Black as No 143, or without plates in GWR Green with red lining, or in LMS Crimson Lake with yellow lining. It was built for the Drewry Car Co, for Underhill Day & Co, for the South Johnstone Co-operative Sugar Milling Association in Australia. [1], Ejector pump efficiency depends on the length-to-diameter ratio of the exhaust chimney. CC 50 22, an early Dutch-built Indonesian Mallets has been returned to the Netherlands and is now exhibited in the Dutch Railway Museum but meanwhile, the other 2 like CC 50 01 is preserved in Transportation Museum in TMII and CC 50 29 is preserved in the Ambarawa Railway Museum. A dedicated carriage containing toilet, guard's office and buffet store, similar to Carriage 124 on the Ffestiniog Railway. Scrapped at Paddock, South Africa August 2017. [1][2][8], Having been proved successful during trials, another two locomotives were ordered from Beyer, Peacock. It was taken out of service in October 2010 due to mechanical problems and retired from the Union Pacific's excursion program in January 2020. 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. by two ordinary steam locomotives. Not in use. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". [5] Currently painted in a "Burrell Plum" livery.[6]. 346 Rio Grande No. The South African Railways Class NG G16 2-6-2+2-6-2 was a narrow gauge steam locomotive. 155, was rebuilt in 1990, but it retained its traditional ex-SAR black livery. 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. [citation needed]. 23, re-establishing the division between FR and WHR stock in the combined stock list. [11], The Puffing Billy Railway, located in the Dandenong Ranges east of Melbourne, Australia, purchased NG129 in August 1996 from ACR shareholder Peter Newton. No. 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. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2977, Beyer Peacock builders No.7626. These narrow gauge Garratts had boilers of 4feet 2inches (1,270 millimetres) inside diameter on a frame width of about 6feet 10+12inches (2,096 millimetres). Sub-classification was based on weight, modifications, heating type, boiler capacity, or other features. Built by Baguley as a 2ft gauge locomotive with the builders number 2395. [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. [citation needed], The Sandstone Estates near Ficksburg in the Free State is home to a large number of Class NG G16 locomotives, either as the owners or as the custodian for locomotives belonging to individuals or other establishments. [1][2][3], The third order was for a further seven locomotives in 1951, numbered in the range from NG125 to NG131, once again from Beyer, Peacock. The final loco, Chesapeake and Ohio 1309, is preserved on the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad. Ex South African Railways NG15 Class Unrestored. A development of carriages 2043, 2044 and 2045. Diesel locomotives of Sri Lanka Railway are categorized into several classes and their sub classes. Converted to coal firing.

After first being steamed in September 2019 129, in November 2019 it underwent light engine and load testing.[14][15]. Moreover, there were adhesion stability problems where the front engine tended to slip and then stall uncontrollably because of an imbalance of tractive effort and axle load, accentuated by the drawbar reaction, and inability of the intermediate steam receiver to accommodate the sudden pressure change. Steam under pressure is converted into mechanical energy more efficiently if it is used in a compound engine; in such an engine steam from a boiler is used in high-pressure (HP) cylinders and then under reduced pressure in a second set of cylinders. [1] In 1953, Sri Lanka Railways enhanced its service to more power with diesel locomotives. These new locomotives took over service on a 113-mile (182km) division; a single locomotive hauled 9,500 short tons (8,600t; 8,500 long tons) in five hours.[3]. As of January 2023, No. The following locomotives are normally Ffestiniog Railway stock that have run on the WHR. This, in turn, results in a more powerful locomotive, since a much larger percentage of the locomotive's total mass contributes to traction compared to a tender locomotive of similar total mass. 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. Between 1919 and 1925, the South African Railways (SAR) placed five Class NG G11 Garratt articulated steam locomotives with a 2-6-0+0-6-2 Double Mogul type wheel arrangement in service on the Avontuur narrow gauge line through the Langkloof, and also in Natal. 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. One of the examples in Germany was the class of 0-8-8-0Ts built by Maffei for Bavarian State Railways between 1913 and 1923. Ownership transferred to Paddock Motors (Derick Classen) after a court case to resolve unpaid storage fees. [2][9][10], The first three locomotives were all working in Natal soon after entering service. World War 2 put paid to the earlier locomotives and by the 1970s the lines were effectively dieselised and the surviving wartime GB and GC Garratts were reduced to menial duties. Several Mallets have been preserved, some in operational condition. The air inlets contain swirl inducers to spread the incoming air inside the firebox.
