Underwent a major restoration at Boston Lodge Works. 346 Rio Grande No. 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. [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. Unlike other diesels purchased by the Ffestiniog Railway Company and named bilingually after Northern Welsh castles, 'Castell Caernarfon' is named in Welsh only. No. Like the Class 26, no. [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. [5], The same problem also existed on Cape gauge light-rail single-line track where train lengths would be limited because conventional locomotives had been enlarged to the limit of their possible power due to restrictions on axle loading. between 1995 and 2002 with numbers RB1 to RB14. 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. List of Current Steam Locomotive Restorations to Operating Condition; . Two 2-8-8-4 examples built in Russia in 195455 were probably the last Mallets built in Europe.[3]. Scrapped by the THF at Humewood Road, Port Elizabeth, South Africa August 2011. [, Entered service as "409". The Alfred County Railway Class NG G16A 2-6-2+2-6-2 of 1989 is a steam locomotive from the South African Railways era. The following locomotives are normally Ffestiniog Railway stock that have run on the WHR. It was to become the first Garratt to enter SAR service. Heated and double glazed. The air inlets contain swirl inducers to spread the incoming air inside the firebox. Norfolk & Western 2156 is the sole surviving Y6a, preserved at the National Museum of Transportation in St. Louis. The South African built 16A power units were cut up at Paddock October 2017. They were the first Garratt locomotives to enter service in South Africa. These three locomotives were not superheated. Collector's Series These kits are faithful depictions of classic narrow gauge designs, covering prototypes from 1'11" gauge (60cm) to 2'6". Funded by the WHR Society. Garratt locomotives have two well spaced bogies on which are mounted the water . With the introduction of diesel locomotives, coloured liveries appeared. Locomotives and train sets of Sri Lanka Railways consist mostly of diesel locomotives and multiple units. Moved from Paddock to Ixopo by December 2015 with the power units off 149. 473 East Broad Top Railroad No. [2] In 1953, the first locomotives from British builder Brush Bagnall were imported. These two were superheated and, as a result, had longer smokeboxes and were 9+12 inches (241 millimetres) longer in overall length. Built at Boston Lodge. 486 Rio Grande No. [, Entered service as "405". G42 was located on the Moe to Walhalla line in the states south-east. A replica of an 1894 "Ashbury" NWNGR "Summer Coach". The BlonayChamby museum railway has two Mallets. Caption 4. [2][3], Another drawback is the risk of tilting. Finished in U.K. Pullman Car Company livery. The truck could therefore turn into a curve and move to some extent laterally. Ex South African Railways NGG16 Class Garratt, red livery. The mill gave it the number 9 and used it to work sugar cane wagons in Innisfail district of Far North Queensland. ucla prime cohort; h e b shortbread cookies. 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. Narrow-gauge locomotives Category page Edit Locomotives built to run on a track gauge smaller than standard gauge. In terms of a prior agreement between the SAR and the Tsumeb Copper Corporation, the SAR would purchase any narrow gauge locomotives that would become redundant should the re-gauging of the SWA system take place. It was built for the Drewry Car Co, for Underhill Day & Co, for the South Johnstone Co-operative Sugar Milling Association in Australia. This created the risk of the locomotive tilting over on tight curves. 143's bogies were both taken out of service and the loco ran on 138's bogies until it left service. 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). This was further worsened by dynamic instability of the front end in running. In 1964 they were both transferred to the Avontuur line in exchange for two newer Class NG G13 locomotives. 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. Transferred Dinas, in August 1997 for use on reconstruction work. The final loco, Chesapeake and Ohio 1309, is preserved on the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad. Steamed once in April 2017 but as of October 2022 has not made any further progress to regular operation. Notable locomotives was the last remaining Australian Standard Garratt and the narrow gauge Clyde-GM G-8 numbered D1. Not to be confused with the steam locomotive E1, this electric locomotive is not in commercial use. 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. Withdrawn in 2020 for a ten-yearly overhaul. (Under licence to Beyer Peacock & Co. - Manchester, England), Entered service as "400". NG113 and Hunslet-Taylor-built no. 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. Fully upholstered, heated and double glazed coach delivered to Dinas in September 1997 for the start of the Caernarfon service. 4014 is the largest, heaviest, and most powerful operational steam locomotive in the world. Re-entered service in 2010 in crimson lake livery. Although less obvious, both Wardale GPCS locomotives, Class 19D no. 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. In service on newly refurbished bogies. NG51 later. With the FR-WHR link now open, FR locos visit fairly regularly on special services. This has been supplemented by later information as it became available. In 2017, at least four establishments still operated or were restoring ex-SAR Class NG G16 Garratts. It hauls tourist steam trains on 3% grades. [citation needed], The Welsh Highland Railway in Wales has five Class NG G16 locomotives. 141 in 1989. 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. As of September 2021 it hauls tourist trains on 5% grades.[18]. Dragon emblems were later mounted on the cab sides and bunker ends. When fleets of such locomotives appeared in the middle 1920s the trade press called them "Simple Mallets" i.e., simple locomotives articulated like Mallets. Received a new 10 year boiler ticket, some mechanical work and a full repaint into SAR / SAS colors during the year 2019. 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. Almost identical to, A small Simplex locomotive loaned to the WHR by Innogy that has been used on construction trains, particularly on the. Note the clear exhausts in the picture below of numbers 141 and 155 double-heading on the climb from Bongwana to Nqabeni. Darjeeling Himalayan Railway D Class Beyer-Garratt On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. 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. Their engine numbers, builders, years built and works numbers are listed in Table II. [6][7], 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. In 1962, the Indonesian state railways DKA ordered a series of 0-4-4-2s, basically an updated version of the earlier Dutch design, for the old Atjeh (now Aceh) tramway. The use of a Garratt locomotive enables the capacity of a line to be approximately doubled without having to strengthen the track, bridges and culverts, or re-align the curvature. Currently used as a mess coach on construction trains and as a reserve passenger brake vehicle. The South African Railways Class NG G16 2-6-2+2-6-2 was a narrow gauge steam locomotive. 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. But unlike the CC 50 class, all of the CC 10s & DD 50 -52s was sadly cut up for scrap. [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. NG141 achieved a fuel saving of 25% compared to a standard Class NG G16 Garratt, a performance which was easily maintained in regular service. [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. [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. 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. 20 All items (468) # A B C D E Narrow Gauge Garratt locomotives Herbert Garratt - and his Sandstone locomotives An iconic Sandstone scene.

[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. 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. - last, Entered service as "407". Sub class M10A was introduced in 2013 which is a technical variant. By July 2017 no. In Canada, the Canadian Pacific Railway experimented with an unusual design of Mallet promoted by H.H. In the Dutch East Indies, now the Republic of Indonesia, several types and sizes remained in use into the 1980s. 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. Converted from 2041, completed 2017. The Mallet locomotive is a type of articulated steam railway locomotive, invented by the Swiss engineer Anatole Mallet (18371919).
