It initially remained there after the trials, while the other two went to the Stuartstown line in Natal, to be joined there by no. but they are still an impressive piece of machinery. [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. G41 was put to work on the Colac to Beach Forest and Crowes line in the states (Victoria) south-west. The locomotive is a fictional resin and modification by evilcro. Ten-yearly overhaul was completed in 2020, with the locomotive now painted in South African Railways black with SAR/SAS logo on the coal bunker. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". Numbers 1 and 2: 2-6-0/0-6-2 Beyer Peacock Garratt acquired new in 1936/38. 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.

[citation needed], The Welsh Highland Railway in Wales has five Class NG G16 locomotives. Porta. 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. 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. These locomotives had an enlarged front water tank capacity, but carried no water in their rear bunkers which consequently had a larger coal capacity. "Union Pacific Big Boy", an example of a simple Mallet. Funded by WHR Society. Garratt locomotives have two well spaced bogies on which are mounted the water . All trailer coaches are Air-conditioned Chiar cars. These were used in helper service in the Rockies and Selkirks. [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. On a Garratt, the boiler could literally be dimensioned up to the full cross section of the loading gauge. Challenger #3985 was the largest operational steam locomotive in the world until the restoration of UP 4014. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2977, Beyer Peacock builders No.7626. In 1938, locomotives were reclassified, based on wheel arrangement and gauge. 143 re-entered service in 2011 in green livery for the Fairlies, Garratts and Mallets competition. [4], Throughout its history, Ceylon Government Railway had 410 steam locomotives. The fact that they did not need to be run through to terminals to be turned around also made increased operational flexibility possible. With the FR-WHR link now open, FR locos visit fairly regularly on special services. [citation needed]. Typical for many locomotives is a livery that has thick horizontal bands of dark blue, light blue, silver and a yellow stripe. As a French-speaking Swiss, Mallet pronounced his name accordingly, something like "Ma-lay". In February 2018, local newspapers and news websites reported that General Electric company, USA won the tender for 10 diesel electric locomotives for the use of upcountry railways. England Prior to this exchange, this carriage had been WHR No 24. [12] Completion of no. 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. 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 page was last edited on 4 August 2022, at 12:33. These locomotives were introduced in 1926 to increase train sizes and thus reduce losses on . The mill gave it the number 9 and used it to work sugar cane wagons in Innisfail district of Far North Queensland. 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. [1][2][3][4], The challenges of Africa resulted in the regular need for double-heading of steam locomotives on heavy trains. 2644 and Class 26 no. [1][2][3], The system of grouping narrow-gauge locomotives into classes was only adopted by the SAR somewhere between 1928 and 1930. 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. Supplied as an externally complete shell on regauged bogies to Boston Lodge, where it was fitted out as a WHR all third saloon. 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. Narrow gauge locomotives were numbered in the same list as broad gauge locomotives. 346 Rio Grande No. Beyer, Peacock and Company was only able to deliver the first three locomotives in 1919 after cessation of hostilities. [, Overturned near Cutana on "Broken Hill Express". Similar to 2100, built at Boston Lodge. A development of the Winson Engineering carriages delivered in 1997, including wider door opening for easier access to passengers with reduced mobility. This saw its first operation in Europe in 2011 and after initial trials on the owners' railway, was transferred to the Welsh Highland Railway as its power is better suited to that railway. [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. Under construction at Boston Lodge. [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. [1], Ejector pump efficiency depends on the length-to-diameter ratio of the exhaust chimney. A development of carriages 2043, 2044 and 2045. 3985", "1309 Restoration | Western Maryland Scenic Railroad", "G 23/3 104 Sddeutsche Eisenbahn Gesellschaft Chemin de fer-muse Blonay-Chamby", "G 22/2 105 Sddeutsche Eisenbahn Gesellschaft Chemin de fer-muse Blonay-Chamby", Baldwin description of Mallet locomotives from 1912, Lake Superior Railroad Museum Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range Steam Locomotive No. Scrapped by the THF at Humewood Road, Port Elizabeth, South Africa August 2011. Not in operation and the power cars were scrapped. [1], The second locomotive, the Hunslet-Taylor-built no. Almost identical to, A small Simplex locomotive loaned to the WHR by Innogy that has been used on construction trains, particularly on the. [3], Mallet found typical main line railways were unwilling to adopt his ideas. All are diesel hydraulic type except DLW locomotive which is diesel electric. Another De Winton is on display in the entrance to the WHR Caernarfon Station. The cabs of the second order locomotives were also improved to offer better protection to the crew. NG55 was restored to full working order also at Bloemfontein for the Patons Country Narrow Gauge Railway (PCNGR) at Ixopo in Natal by 2005. On loan to Statfold Barn Railway. [, Entered service as "401". [9][10], In comparative testing, no.

The last compound Mallets to remain in use on a major North American railroad were the N&W class Y6b 2-8-8-2 locomotives, retired in July 1959. [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. All but one remained there for the rest of their service lives until withdrawal by 1962. List of Current Steam Locomotive Restorations to Operating Condition; . Dragon emblems were later mounted on the cab sides and bunker ends. 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. [2] Since then, various types of diesel locomotives were added to the service. This page was last edited on 21 April 2022, at 19:32. [3] Many more steam locomotives were added to the system, through to the 1950s. A development of carriages 2043, 2044 and 2045. The two locomotives which received this treatment, no. Mallet asserted that the advantages of his concept were: The large-diameter pipe conveying the low-pressure steam from the high-pressure to the low-pressure cylinders acted also as a receiver, forming a buffer for the gas flow. [6][7] These were unsuccessful, and later engines used conventional boilers. Originally sponsored by Historic Houses Hotels Ltd, the proprietors of Bodysgallen Hall, hence the name Bodysgallen. Specifications: Scale: 1:19; Dual gauge: 32/45mm 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. 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. [11], The two locomotives of the second order also served in Natal, ending up working on the branch from Estcourt to Weenen. Not in use. 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. Notable locomotives was the last remaining Australian Standard Garratt and the narrow gauge Clyde-GM G-8 numbered D1. 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. 60 arrived via a low-loader back in July 2017 . Imported in two variants, one for run on commuter services and other run on long distance services. [, Entered service as "403". 473 East Broad Top Railroad No. NG51, c. 1919, NG G11 no. Several units out of service shortly after introduction due to cost of spares and repair. 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. It is believed to have been stored in Essex and in Somerset before being moved to the Exmoor Steam Railway. Commenced service on the Puffing Billy Railway in December 2019 before being withdrawn again for further work. Main Page; All Pages; Community; . [2][3], Another drawback is the risk of tilting. Locomotives and train sets of Sri Lanka Railways consist mostly of diesel locomotives and multiple units. Mallet's original patent specifies compound expansion, but after his death in 1919 many locomotives (particularly in the United States) were articulated Mallet style without using compounding (for instance the Union Pacific Big Boy). Nicknamed "Old Maude", it was a 0-6-6-0 weighing 334,500lb (151,700kg) and with axle loads of 60,000lb (27,000kg). Transferred to Dinas in March by rail using the CTRL. 3985 is being restored to operating condition by the Railroading Heritage of Midwest America.[12][13]. The BlonayChamby museum railway has two Mallets. 482 Rio Grande No. [5] Currently painted in a "Burrell Plum" livery.[6]. 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. Numbers NG54 and NG55 were delivered in 1925 and erected at the Durban workshops in April of that year. Heated and double glazed. Sub-classification was based on weight, modifications, heating type, boiler capacity, or other features. [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. Sri Lanka's first railway locomotive was Leopold, in 1864. Only the boiler cradle and cab are today genuine 156. As of September 2021 it hauls tourist trains on 5% grades.[18]. This was further worsened by dynamic instability of the front end in running. 15 Jones & Laughlin Steel No. Transferred to Dinas, in April 2000 for use as a stand-by on passenger engine. Updated start of season 2020.[10]. 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. Caption 4. In 1964 they were both transferred to the Avontuur line in exchange for two newer Class NG G13 locomotives. [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. Soul of A Railway, System 3: Cape Midland, based in Port Elizabeth, Part 4: Loerie to Assegaaibos. Built in 1926, the Garratt locos almost had the tractive effort of a K Class, on a narrow gauge line. [3][4], Media related to South African Class NG G16 (2-6-2+2-6-2) at Wikimedia Commons. 156 power units were cut up at Paddock in October 2017.

Currently used as a mess coach on construction trains and as a reserve passenger brake vehicle. A major overhaul on its power units was completed in May 2016, taking 18 months. Chattenden and Upnor Railway. [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. Both entered service in Natal. [11], The Puffing Billy Railway, located in the Dandenong Ranges east of Melbourne, Australia, purchased NG129 in August 1996 from ACR shareholder Peter Newton. Like the Class 26, no. A new boiler has been constructed at the South Devon Railway (heritage railway) Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2981, Beyer Peacock builders No.7630. [, Entered service as "408". ABPF-SC (Brazilian Association for Railroad Preservation Santa Catarina branch) has restored a 2-6-6-2 Mallet to working order. 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. 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. 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)). Various other liveries also exist. 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 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. . Arrived ex ship "Belnor". [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. Chesapeake & Ohio 2-6-6-2 #1309, the last domestic steam locomotive built by Baldwin, was scheduled for restoration in September 2017. By 2011 it was being restored and rebuilt in Bloemfontein. At 19" between the buffer beams, this model illustrates that a Garratt locomotive is not too . In 1989 and 1990 two of these locomotives were rebuilt to Class NG G16A by the Alfred County Railway.
