Sold to Sandstone in 2002. [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. 30 of MV 422[hu] 0-4-4-0 were built between 18981902 (the last one served until 1958). In 2010 it was acquired by Sandstone Estates. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". Another De Winton is on display in the entrance to the WHR Caernarfon Station. Sri Lanka's first railway locomotive was Leopold, in 1864. [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). 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. [9][10], In comparative testing, no. Restored and entered service in autumn 2006. 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they replaced with an "R" prefix; until such time as the old locomotive, now running with an "O" prefix, was finally withdrawn. [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. By July 2017 no. It was one of seven 4-4-0 locomotives built that year for the Ceylon Government Railway by Robert Stephenson & Company (nos. Therefore, as the weight on the coupled wheels decreases, the locomotive has less adhesion and becomes increasingly prone to slipping. Underwent a major restoration at Boston Lodge Works. 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). Power car is a single-ended locomotive without passenger interiors. 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. Similar to 2090. Collector's Series These kits are faithful depictions of classic narrow gauge designs, covering prototypes from 1'11" gauge (60cm) to 2'6". [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. These are Cockerill-built no. At the time, the PCNGR was operating tourist excursion trains between Ixopo and Ncalu. The 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. In January 2014, Big Boy #4014 was removed from its museum ground parking track in Pomona, California, and hauled to Cheyenne, Wyoming, for restoration to operating condition; this was completed in May 2019. The model represents the Garratt locomotives presently running on the Welsh Highland Railway. Transferred to Dinas in March by rail using the CTRL. The Puffing Billy Railway also purchased no. [3], Mallet found typical main line railways were unwilling to adopt his ideas. Engine units sent with 156 to Ixopo. NG51 later. NG51 was later returned to the Avontuur line to replace the retiring Class NG3 no. M6 ICE locomotives have a unique ICE livery of brown and orange. [4] [14] 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. With each set of cylinders and coupled wheels constituting a separate engine, the end result was two locomotives in one, with one huge shared boiler which needed only one crew. Total rebuild carried out including a new all-welded steel boiler and conversion to 2'6" gauge. Converted to coal firing. All the steam locomotives bar three were manufactured in the United Kingdom; the exceptions were three 4-4-0s built at the railway's Maradana Works near Colombo in 1900 and 1905. [17] There is also a G 2x 2/2 0-4-4-0 No.105 built by Maschinenfabrik Karlsruhe. 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. - last, Entered service as "407". between 1995 and 2002 with numbers RB1 to RB14. In 2017, at least four establishments still operated or were restoring ex-SAR Class NG G16 Garratts. [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. The South African built 16A power units were cut up at Paddock October 2017. The Afrikaans spelling conventions were changed from time to time in the early years. [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. Alternative solutions would either be double-heading longer trains or re-building and re-aligning large parts of the lines to accommodate heavier locomotives. In 1938, locomotives were reclassified, based on wheel arrangement and gauge. 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. Re-entered service in October 2022 after overhaul and the fitting of a Hunslet built boiler shipped from Australia ex 129. The final Garratt locomotive built at Gorton works, South African Railways NG/G16 No.143 is also now at the Welsh Highland Railway. Spent much of its working life in South Africa until it was replaced by diesel traction. To accommodate the pivoting, the steam and exhaust pipes have flexible connections between the engine units and the central cradle. Ex South African Railways NGG16 Class Garratt, green livery. [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. NG5 as yard shunter at Humewood Road. [11], The two locomotives of the second order also served in Natal, ending up working on the branch from Estcourt to Weenen. [1], Ejector pump efficiency depends on the length-to-diameter ratio of the exhaust chimney. Arrived on the WHR 18 February 2010. Electrification has been proposed, to improve energy efficiency and sustainability.[9]. [2] He patented the system in 1874, and in 1876 the first locomotive to the patent was built, an 0-4-2T for the Bayonne and Biarritz Railway. 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.

A replica of an 1894 "Ashbury" NWNGR "Summer Coach". Other basic elements of the locomotive remained more or less the same. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". [1], The second locomotive, the Hunslet-Taylor-built no. 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. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2979, Beyer Peacock builders No.7628. 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. 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. This 180hp Gardner 6LXB diesel-engined locomotive was built for R.N. NG55 entering Ixopo station, 3 September 2005. [11] Several however, have now been cut up for scrap (see table below). As a result, no NG51 was officially retired by July 1962. As the front truck cylinders were now using boiler pressure steam, special arrangements were necessary to deliver it, through the truck pivot pin where only radial movement took place. Most narrow gauge Garratt classes seem to have had lower axle loadings than this, though South Africa and the then-British colonies of East Africa had very big power on 3'6" and meter-gauge track. The single surviving example of a cab-forward Mallet is Southern Pacific 4294, on display at the California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento, California. In 2009 the loco was displayed in Caernarfon town square to collect donations for the restoration of its sister loco, number 134. The two locomotives which received this treatment, no. 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. Heated and double glazed. 143 re-entered service in 2011 in green livery for the Fairlies, Garratts and Mallets competition. Withdrawn from service in 2020, awaiting a replacement boiler for a new ten year ticket. [1][2], The seven Beyer, Peacock locomotives ordered by the Tsumeb Copper Corporation, numbers NG137 to NG143, were initially distributed between the Umzinto, Port Shepstone and Avontuur lines, but in 1964 the three that went to the Langkloof were also transferred to Natal. Sold to Welshpool and Llanfair Railway in 1962 and to the Ffestiniog Railway in 1968 and re-gauged. 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. [1][2][7], The Hunslet-Taylor locomotives, numbers NG149 to NG156, were placed in service on the Harding and Donnybrook branches in Natal in 1968. NG54 was restored in Bloemfontein in 1989, After a period working the Apple Express out of Port Elizabeth, it ended up staged out of service at Humewood Road until it was removed by Sandstone Estates in 2011 for safe-keeping. Transferred Dinas, in August 1997 for use on reconstruction work. 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). They had flat-topped water tanks with rounded top side edges, and were the first NGG16s to have welded tanks. 3985 is being restored to operating condition by the Railroading Heritage of Midwest America.[12][13]. NG127 from Peter Newton in November 2011. 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. NG141 in 1989 and no. Built at Boston Lodge. This model is based on the beautiful South African NG G13 locomotive. Coal fired.

Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2973, Beyer Peacock builders No.7622. In 1931, three narrow-gauge Class NG15 locomotives with a 2-8-2 Mikado type wheel arrangement, similar in design to the existing Class Hd and Class NG5 locomotives, were acquired by the South African Railways for the Otavi Mining and Railway Company in South West Africa. 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. But meanwhile in Garut - Cibatu in West Java, DKA ordered bigger 2-6-6-0 Mogul Mallets Like the extinct mallet tank Indonesian Railways CC10 Class and the even larger CC50 class along with the All extinct 2-8-8-0 Bull Moose like DD50 - 52 class. Operated mainly on the broad gauged. On December 17, 2021, C&O 1309 (now WMSR 1309) entered excursion service on the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad. One, no. 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. Ex-Chattenden and Upnor Railway coach acquired for the WHR from the South Tynedale Railway and regauged from 2ft 6in gauge. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2982, Beyer Peacock builders No.7631. On loan to Statfold Barn Railway. It is currently in active service, and a spare boiler is being overhauled for it ahead of a planned overhaul in 2021/22. The Australian Standard Garratt (ASG) locomotive was designed by the Commonwealth Land Transport Board. 491 is the largest operating narrow gauge steam locomotive in the western hemisphere. 6 and 7). These three locomotives were not superheated. This has been supplemented by later information as it became available. Chesapeake & Ohio 2-6-6-2 #1309, the last domestic steam locomotive built by Baldwin, was scheduled for restoration in September 2017. The original source of information for this table was the: "Rheilffordd Eryri - Welsh Highland Railway Traveller's Guide" published by the Ffestiniog Railway Company in 2002. Located in the former Humewood Road (Port Elizabeth) Narrow Gauge diesel depot in good external condition. It was in service until 1979, and as of September 2021 is still under restoration. The front of the locomotive articulated on a bogie. The locomotive will be overhauled and re-gauged before entering service.[8]. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2981, Beyer Peacock builders No.7630. [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. NG/G16 127 the last steam locomotive to operate on the Alfred County Railway in South Africa is currently stored as delivered in 2011 inside the new Museum at Menzies Creek awaiting a decision date on its rebuilding to operate on 2'6" gauge. One Mallet ran in New Zealand, and is preserved at Glenbrook Vintage Railway, Auckland. We will launch the first 20 of the re-issued Steam Railbus at EXPO NARROW GAUGE at Swanley on Oct 27th, 2007. Note: One class N2 locomotive was re-classified as Class E1 after fitting with Alstom pantographs, to be run under electric power. Australian Standard Garratt; B Category:Bagnall; Baldwin 608; Baldwin Class 10-12-D; [3], Although they had already been ordered in 1914, production was disrupted by the First World War. 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). 15 Jones & Laughlin Steel No. Back in operation as of February 2020. 60 arrived via a low-loader back in July 2017 . [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. As of September 2021 it hauls tourist trains on 5% grades.[18]. [, Worked to Quorn. Main Page; All Pages; Community; . Hitachi Tourist excursion train.

Trending pages Rio Grande No. Rebuilt in 1989 to Class NGG16A, Privately owned by the Mortimer family, in very poor condition. [1], The cost of the work paid off financially within twelve months and led to a proposal to develop a Class NG G17 Garratt. In the 1990s, Sri Lanka Railways converted the narrow gauge (2ft6in (762mm)) Kelani Valley line into 5ft6in (1,676mm) broad gauge. [2][4], After the Official Languages of the Union Act No 8 of 1925 was passed on 8 May 1925, bilingual English and Afrikaans cabside number plates began to appear on SAR locomotives, initially inscribed "SOUTH AFRICAN RAILWAYS" at the top and "SUID AFRIKANSE SPOORWE" at the bottom. Ex South African Railways NGG16 Class Garratt, red livery. We would like to show you a description here but the site won't allow us. Converted from 2041, completed 2017. 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. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2975, Beyer Peacock builders No.7624. History [ edit] [8], The Cockerill-built locomotives were delivered with bilingual cabside number plates inscribed "NG/G13" and with the older style Afrikaans "SUID AFRIKANSE SPOORWE" at the bottom. It is believed to have been stored in Essex and in Somerset before being moved to the Exmoor Steam Railway. ucla prime cohort; h e b shortbread cookies. No 23 returned to FR service in 1955 and full doors fitted in 1966. The BlonayChamby museum railway has two Mallets. (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 . 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. 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. The South African Railways Class NG G11 2-6-0+0-6-2 of 1919 was a narrow gauge steam locomotive. [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. [1][2][3], The system of grouping narrow-gauge locomotives into classes was only adopted by the SAR somewhere between 1928 and 1930. Like the Class 26, no. Ordered by Sri Lanka Veneers & Plywood. In September 2018, Sri Lankan Railway ordered 160 passenger coaches from India under $318M line of credit given by India. Both entered service in Natal. 473 East Broad Top Railroad No. The work was carried out at Port Shepstone. 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. [13] and included one locomotive experimentally converted to electric traction. 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. Power cars are single-ended locomotives without passenger interiors. In 2004 the locomotive was purchased by a member of the Lynton & Barnstaple Trust, who shipped it from Australia in 2005. Subsequent to the exchange, the number "24" was allocated to Ashbury "Corridor" No. The ACR was also known as the Banana Express from the tourism part of its operation. First to be acquired was the Hanomag G 2x 3/3 0-6-6-0 No104. Moved from Paddock to Ixopo by December 2015 with the power units off 149. Captions 26, 32. The various Railbus units that are currently operated are not listed below. 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. Price: GBP80 plus GBP1.50 p+p in the UK. Superheating also required alteration of the valve gear and piston valves were therefore used instead of slide valves. Photo credit: David Benn section of surviving Narrow Gauge Garratt locomotives in the world. A third stage (triple expansion) may be employed. With their 22.5 meter length, 163.3 tonnes total weight and 2200 KW power, the MV 601 was the biggest, the heaviest and most powerful steam locomotive built before and during the First World War in Europe.[4]. NG55 was restored to full working order also at Bloemfontein for the Patons Country Narrow Gauge Railway (PCNGR) at Ixopo in Natal by 2005. Some are the locomotives owned by Sri Lanka Ports Authority and Holcim Sri Lanka limited. Sold to the Puffing Billy Railway by ACR shareholder Peter Newton in 1996. Originally sponsored by Historic Houses Hotels Ltd, the proprietors of Bodysgallen Hall, hence the name Bodysgallen. [, Entered service as "405". Ownership transferred to Paddock Motors (Derick Classen) after a court case to resolve unpaid storage fees. No. Prior to this exchange, this carriage had been WHR No 24. Either method was expensive and, in such conditions, the Garratt design had distinct advantages. As a French-speaking Swiss, Mallet pronounced his name accordingly, something like "Ma-lay". These U.S. locomotives were paralleled to some extent by heavy-haul versions in the USSR, though without any attempt at faster running. In addition, the articulated design of the earlier models, as well as the most powerful, the 1956 model locomotive with its 4-8-2+2-8-4 axle arrangement, enabled it . Some parts including the British built Hunslet boiler used to make 116 whole. Beyer, Peacock and Company was only able to deliver the first three locomotives in 1919 after cessation of hostilities. In service on newly refurbished bogies. NG88, Beyer, Peacock-built no. This was further worsened by dynamic instability of the front end in running. 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. Several Mallets have been preserved, some in operational condition. Mallet designs were popular in Hungary, too. 141 in 1989. 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. 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]. [, Entered service as "404". No. This page was last edited on 2 January 2023, at 00:53. [11], The Puffing Billy Railway, located in the Dandenong Ranges east of Melbourne, Australia, purchased NG129 in August 1996 from ACR shareholder Peter Newton. Their engine numbers, builders, years built and works numbers are listed in Table II. 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. 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)). ABPF-SC (Brazilian Association for Railroad Preservation Santa Catarina branch) has restored a 2-6-6-2 Mallet to working order. The Harding line was privatised in 1988 as the Alfred County Railway (ACR), operating out of Port Shepstone. Unlike other diesels purchased by the Ffestiniog Railway Company and named bilingually after Northern Welsh castles, 'Castell Caernarfon' is named in Welsh only. No. Large numbers of Mallet designs for narrow gauge railways were built, but in 1889 the first six standard gauge examples were built by J A Maffei for the Swiss Central railways, and an 87 tonne 0-6-6-0T banker (US: pusher) for the Gotthard Bahn, the last being the most powerful and heaviest locomotive in the world at the time. 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. The first locomotives pulled trains on the original segment of the Main Line, on 54 kilometres (34 miles) connecting Colombo and Ambepussa. Three Mallets ran in Australia, including one on the Magnet Tramway in Tasmania. 20 All items (468) # A B C D E 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.
