Built by Baguley as a 2ft gauge locomotive with the builders number 2395. Only the boiler cradle and cab are today genuine 156. HAL6DTI - 135 hp. but they are still an impressive piece of machinery. NG51 was put on trials on the Avontuur line in May 1920. Two NGG16's working against the background of the Maluti Mountains. Notable locomotives was the last remaining Australian Standard Garratt and the narrow gauge Clyde-GM G-8 numbered D1. G42 was to be withdrawn for major maintenance. [3] Many more steam locomotives were added to the system, through to the 1950s. Not in use. Built in 1967 and 1968, these locomotives had the same enlarged capacity front water tanks as those of the Tsumeb group, but their rear bunkers were identical to those of the 1951 batch of locomotives and carried both coal and water. [5], On a Garratt locomotive, the shared boiler and cab are carried on a cradle frame which is suspended on pivot centres attached to the frames of the two engine units, which are both free to align itself to the track curvature. Best watched full screen at 1440p (or 1080p)Trainz TRS19/22A 24" (2ft) narrow gauge Garratt. This was further worsened by dynamic instability of the front end in running. Soul of A Railway, System 3: Cape Midland, based in Port Elizabeth, Part 4: Loerie to Assegaaibos. From 2008 they have completely rebuilt it, including re-gauging it to 2ft6in (762mm) as additional capacity at a time of increasing passenger loadings. Extensive gallery of narrow gauge railway photos. 20 All items (468) # A B C D E To achieve this, the amount of air being drawn up through the firebed is minimised, while the main sources of air required for combustion is through secondary air inlets located in the firebox sides and through the vertically sliding firedoor. With the FR-WHR link now open, FR locos visit fairly regularly on special services. 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. Power cars are single-ended locomotives without passenger interiors. In 1989 and 1990 two of these locomotives were rebuilt to Class NG G16A by the Alfred County Railway. Power cars are single-ended locomotives without passenger interiors. All operational locomotives in the country today are broad gauge. On display in excellent cosmetic condition. The new locomotives were therefore delivered directly to the SAR in 1958. (Under licence to Beyer Peacock & Co. - Manchester, England), Entered service as "400". 141 was also painted red and nicknamed the Red Dragon. The South African built 16A power units were cut up at Paddock October 2017. In Canada, the Canadian Pacific Railway experimented with an unusual design of Mallet promoted by H.H. [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. [6][7] These were unsuccessful, and later engines used conventional boilers. Updated start of season 2020.[10]. [16], Another industrial type has been purchased and restored by the Statfold Barn Railway in the UK. "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 taken out of service in October 2010 due to mechanical problems and retired from the Union Pacific's excursion program in January 2020. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". 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. Ex South African Railways NGG16 Class Garratt, green livery. Numbers NG54 and NG55 were delivered in 1925 and erected at the Durban workshops in April of that year. Another 2 WDG4D locomotives are to be arrived. History [ edit] Unrestored. Beyer, Peacock and Company was only able to deliver the first three locomotives in 1919 after cessation of hostilities. Narrow gauge locomotives were numbered in the same list as broad gauge locomotives. In the 1990s, Sri Lanka Railways converted the narrow gauge (2ft6in (762mm)) Kelani Valley line into 5ft6in (1,676mm) broad gauge. The largest compound Mallets were ten 2-10-10-2s built for the Virginian by Alco in 1918; in pairs they pushed coal trains headed by a 2-8-8-2. Subsequent to the exchange, the number "24" was allocated to Ashbury "Corridor" No. [citation needed], The Welsh Highland Railway in Wales has five Class NG G16 locomotives. 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. [1], Ex South African Railways NGG 16 Class Garratt. [9] Only ten (of 25 originally ordered) were built before the order was cancelled, the last delivered in September 1949. 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. 3450, have exactly this shape of chimney, but because of height constraints in large locomotives, their chimneys had to be doubled or even tripled to achieve the correct proportions, hence the double exhausts of the two Wardale locomotives. Initially outshopped in photographic grey livery on completion in 2009 and was then painted into midnight blue livery from March 2010. They still had elliptical tops on the water tanks and both tank and bunker were riveted as per the pre-war machines, however on the boiler the location of the safety valves, clack valves and main manifold (amongst other details) changed to what would become the standard for all remaining builds. Several re-furbished and in operation. Converted from 2041, completed 2017. [4], Throughout its history, Ceylon Government Railway had 410 steam locomotives. The ACR was also known as the Banana Express from the tourism part of its operation. Steam locomotives were numbered from 1 upwards, reaching 161 in 1911. It is currently in active service, and a spare boiler is being overhauled for it ahead of a planned overhaul in 2021/22. Some parts including the British built Hunslet boiler used to make 116 whole. Therefore, as the weight on the coupled wheels decreases, the locomotive has less adhesion and becomes increasingly prone to slipping. 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. Power outputs of over 700 indicated horsepower was achieved and the locomotive was probably capable of achieving a maximum of 800 indicated horsepower, some 25% more than the Class 91-000 narrow gauge diesel-electric locomotive. [1], A Garratt is actually two separate locomotives combined in a double articulated format, thereby providing multiple powered axles over which the total locomotive weight is spread. Withdrawn in 2020 for a ten-yearly overhaul. [, Entered service as "405". Australian Standard Garratt; B Category:Bagnall; Baldwin 608; Baldwin Class 10-12-D; Operated mainly on the broad gauged, Very similar in appearance to S6. [9][10], In comparative testing, no. As weight and power and length increased, there were experiments with flexible boiler casings; from 1910 the Santa Fe road introduced jointed-boiler 2-6-6-2 locomotives weighing 392,000lb (178,000kg), with a 37 feet (11.28m) long boiler barrel, with a firetube reheater and a firetube feedwater section in front, each separated by a blank section, and variants of a telescopic or bellows type boiler casing. These three locomotives were not superheated. A third stage (triple expansion) may be employed. G41 was put to work on the Colac to Beach Forest and Crowes line in the states (Victoria) south-west. Constructed by Nippon Sharyo in Japan, they were the only Mallets built in Asia. It is one of a pair imported by the Ffestiniog Railway, the other (Vale of Ffestiniog) being re-bodied to fit the FR loading gauge. (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 . 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. NG51 was later returned to the Avontuur line to replace the retiring Class NG3 no. [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. [2][9][10], The first three locomotives were all working in Natal soon after entering service. Almost identical to, A small Simplex locomotive loaned to the WHR by Innogy that has been used on construction trains, particularly on the. 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. [1], In comparative testing, no. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". While West Africa found its solution in larger 4-6-2 Pacific and 2-8-2 Mikado locomotives at the beginning of the twentieth century, the steeper gradients and tighter curves in South Africa made a different solution necessary. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2978, Beyer Peacock builders No.7627. Under construction at Boston Lodge. [2], Ex South African Railways NGG16 Class Garratt. This 180hp Gardner 6LXB diesel-engined locomotive was built for R.N. In 2010, the carriage was named 'Glaslyn' by Queen Elizabeth II at a ceremony at Dinas station. [13] and included one locomotive experimentally converted to electric traction. The front of the locomotive articulated on a bogie.The compound steam system fed steam at boiler pressure to high-pressure cylinders driving the rear set of driving wheels (rigidly connected to the boiler). [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. 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. No. Norfolk & Western 2156 is the sole surviving Y6a, preserved at the National Museum of Transportation in St. Louis. 143 re-entered service in 2011 in green livery for the Fairlies, Garratts and Mallets competition. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". After retirement at the mine, it was preserved at the Museum of Man and Science in Johannesburg in 1974, then moved to the Klein Jukskei Motor Museum by 1981 and finally donated to the South African National Railway And Steam Museum (SANRASM). It was to become the first Garratt to enter SAR service. Originally sponsored by Historic Houses Hotels Ltd, the proprietors of Bodysgallen Hall, hence the name Bodysgallen. 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. Alternative solutions would either be double-heading longer trains or re-building and re-aligning large parts of the lines to accommodate heavier locomotives. Another De Winton is on display in the entrance to the WHR Caernarfon Station. In 2009 the loco was displayed in Caernarfon town square to collect donations for the restoration of its sister loco, number 134. Locomotive 491 is truly a "Colorado original" having been built entirely in Colorado during the spring of 1928 through a cooperative effort between the Stearns-Roger Manufacturing Company of Denver and the D&RGW Denver Burnham Shops. Some are not in use. 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. Back in operation as of February 2020. NG51, c. 1919, NG G11 no. Captions 26, 32. It hauls tourist steam trains on 3% grades. [citation needed]. Narrow gauge locomotives like the Class NG G16, on the other hand, have plenty of height available for the exhaust, so a single long chimney was achievable. Narrow Gauge 400 class-class 4-8-2+2-8-4 Garratt locomotives 400 class 400 to 409 Jump to: 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. Prior to this exchange, this carriage had been WHR No 24. [5][7], The Garratt design has some inherent drawbacks, however, the first being a diminishing factor of adhesion over long distances. Total rebuild carried out including a new all-welded steel boiler and conversion to 2'6" gauge. [13], Both superheated locomotives still exist. Vaughan, then Chief Mechanical Officer and Assistant to the CPR Vice-President. This page was last edited on 21 April 2022, at 19:32. Updated * 04-01-2008. . Explore. 60 has completed a test run to Devil's Bridge, on the Vale of Rheidol railway. Mallet development culminated in 1941 with the 4-8-8-4 Big Boy type on the Union Pacific railroad. For all narrow gauge (3ft 6in/1067mm) steam locomotives. Work undertaken at Boston Lodge. Entered service in 1997 in unlined dark green, then malachite green as of 2002 when it was named, withdrawn in late 2007 and stripped for 10 year boiler inspection. 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. Used also on civil engineering rosters. The first official train ran on April 30, 2017. This page was last edited on 27 February 2023, at 16:41. The locomotive will be overhauled and re-gauged before entering service.[8]. Fitted with Pullman style armchairs. [1], Ejector pump efficiency depends on the length-to-diameter ratio of the exhaust chimney. Although compounds had been considered obsolescent since the 1920s, C&O thought them appropriate, in the late 1940s, for low-speed coal-mine pickup runs converging on the classification yard at Russell, Kentucky. For the first time since arriving in Aberystwyth, Garratt NGG13 No. On a Garratt, the boiler could literally be dimensioned up to the full cross section of the loading gauge. 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. Both entered service in Natal. [1][2][3], The system of grouping narrow-gauge locomotives into classes was only adopted by the SAR somewhere between 1928 and 1930. 729 ex demonstrator, ran as DR V150.001; imported 1970. The locomotive has a Gardner 8LW diesel engine de-rated to 132hp. NG153. The exhaust steam from these cylinders was fed into a low-pressure receiver and was then sent to low-pressure cylinders that powered the driving wheels on the swiveling bogie towards the front of locomotive.

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. Imported in two variants, one for run on commuter services and other run on long distance services. Sub class M10A was introduced in 2013 which is a technical variant. Locomotive has the NGG16A boiler unit but carried the standard British built unmodified power units off 142. Locomotive is for sale. Darjeeling Himalayan Railway D Class Beyer-Garratt The first Mallet locomotive in the United States was Baltimore & Ohio Railroad number 2400, built by Alco in 1904. NG5 as yard shunter at Humewood Road. is now at Paton County Narrow Gauge Railway . 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. The object of the latter is to convert the kinetic energy of the combustion gas and exhaust steam mixture to a pressure as close to atmospheric as possible. Porta. Note the clear exhausts in the picture below of numbers 141 and 155 double-heading on the climb from Bongwana to Nqabeni. All scrapped, Some were later fitted with small under-floor diesel units and were reclassified T2, Except one (571 Saskatchewan) all others are still in active service, M5A: Re-engined locally using MTU V12 in 1991; M5B: Re-engined locally using, Sub Class M8A: Only 2 locomotives were introduced. Since then, the Railways have imported locomotives from Canada, Japan, West Germany, India, France, and China[6][7][8]. A dedicated carriage containing toilet, guard's office and buffet store, similar to Carriage 124 on the Ffestiniog Railway. On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. 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. These are Cockerill-built no. Having first moved under its own steam on 5 February 2021,[4] the locomotive hauled its first (private) passenger train on 30 April 2021. In September 2018, Sri Lankan Railway ordered 160 passenger coaches from India under $318M line of credit given by India. whilst the power units have been rebuilt at Dinas. [2], On the Avontuur Railway, these locomotives were used as tank-and-tender Garratts, but when the Langkloof members of the class were transferred to Natal in 1964, the water tenders were dispensed with since watering points were much closer together in Natal as a consequence of the early use of tank engines on those narrow-gauge branches. Power car is a single-ended locomotive without passenger interiors.

In 1884, he proposed compounding combined with articulation; on lightly engineered secondary lines this could give greater power to locomotives whose axle load and size were limited. 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. [, Entered service as "401". ABPF-SC (Brazilian Association for Railroad Preservation Santa Catarina branch) has restored a 2-6-6-2 Mallet to working order. In the UK, Bagnalls built a number of 'Modified Meyers' for the narrow gauge, the last of them, 'Monarch' (762mm, 2' 6" gauge), is preserved on the Welshpool and Llanfair Railway in Wales, James Waite photographed it on display at Welshpool in September 2009. .

At that point, in spite of the difference between the two batches of 1919 and 1925, these five locomotives were all classified as Class NG G11, with the letters "NG" indicating narrow gauge and the "G" prefix to the classification number identifying it as a Garratt locomotive. [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. Mallet considered that the major advantage of this arrangement was that it enabled the cylinders on the truck to be fed with low-pressure steam: the high-pressure cylinders were on the fixed main frame and only low-pressure steam needed to be carried through movable pipes to the swivelling truck. Ex South African Railways NG15 Class Unrestored. 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. 58 Rio Grande No. Operational after being overhauled in 2020. 60 arrived via a low-loader back in July 2017 . In 1964 they were both transferred to the Avontuur line in exchange for two newer Class NG G13 locomotives. [2], When the four Natal narrow gauge systems were closed down by the SAR, the Weenen and Mid-Illovo lines were lifted, but the Harding line was privatised as the Alfred County Railway (ACR), operating out of Port Shepstone. Produced in the CPR's Angus shops, road numbers 1950 to 1954 were outshopped between 1909 and 1911. [9][10][11], Since withdrawal from SAR service, some locomotives were sold to foreign railways and into private hands and restored to operational condition, while others ended up in various degrees of preservation ranging across the spectrum from running order to staging to total abandonment. [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. The two locomotives which received this treatment, no. Re-entered service in 2010 in crimson lake livery. 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. Similar to 2090. By about 1920, the U.S. version of the Mallet as a huge slow-speed pusher had reached a plateau; the size of the low-pressure cylinders became a limiting factor even on the large loading gauge permitted in the U.S., and reciprocating masses posed serious dynamic problems above walking pace.
