narrow gauge garratt locomotives

Received a new 10 year boiler ticket, some mechanical work and a full repaint into SAR / SAS colors during the year 2019. Constructed by Nippon Sharyo in Japan, they were the only Mallets built in Asia. 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. 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. For the first time since arriving in Aberystwyth, Garratt NGG13 No. Only Garratt to get to Quorn [, Worked to Broken Hill. A development of carriages 2043, 2044 and 2045. [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. Unrestored, scrap condition. A dedicated carriage containing toilet, guard's office and buffet store, similar to Carriage 124 on the Ffestiniog Railway. In the Dutch East Indies, now the Republic of Indonesia, several types and sizes remained in use into the 1980s. Sixteen "Beyer-Garratt" locomotives of the 4-8-0 + 0-8-4 type are in service on the 5 ft. 6 in. Two NGG16's working against the background of the Maluti Mountains. [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. His patent 162876 in France specified four cylinders, two large and two small, with one pair of cylinders acting on two or three fixed axles, and the other pair acting on axles mounted in a swivelling truck.[3]. 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). Ex South African Railways NGG16 Class Garratt, red livery. It was in service until 1979, and as of September 2021 is still under restoration. These six locomotives were ultimately the only articulated locomotives operated by a Canadian railway. Transferred to Dinas by road early September 2008. 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][2][8], Having been proved successful during trials, another two locomotives were ordered from Beyer, Peacock. 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. Built for the North Wales Narrow Gauge Railways became Welsh Highland Railway property in 1923 and was reduced in height to fit the FR loading gauge. Located in the former Humewood Road (Port Elizabeth) Narrow Gauge diesel depot in good external condition. On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. Since then, the Railways have imported locomotives from Canada, Japan, West Germany, India, France, and China[6][7][8]. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2981, Beyer Peacock builders No.7630. Several units out of service shortly after introduction due to cost of spares and repair. [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. This model is based on the beautiful South African NG G13 locomotive. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2976, Beyer Peacock builders No.7625. 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. 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. 156 power units were cut up at Paddock in October 2017. Sold to Welshpool and Llanfair Railway in 1962 and to the Ffestiniog Railway in 1968 and re-gauged. The Australian Standard Garratt (ASG) locomotive was designed by the Commonwealth Land Transport Board. Power cars are single-ended locomotives without passenger interiors. It is currently in active service, and a spare boiler is being overhauled for it ahead of a planned overhaul in 2021/22. Finished in U.K. Pullman Car Company livery. Smaller Mallets were used by plantations and other industries, all of the 0-4-4-0 type. This 180hp Gardner 6LXB diesel-engined locomotive was built for RNAD Ernesettle, Plymouth. [3][4], Media related to South African Class NG G16 (2-6-2+2-6-2) at Wikimedia Commons. Withdrawn in 2020 for a ten-yearly overhaul. On loan to Statfold Barn Railway. Re-entered service in 2010 in crimson lake livery. [2], Ex South African Railways NGG16 Class Garratt. 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. Engine units sent with 156 to Ixopo. 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. The first Mallet locomotive in the United States was Baltimore & Ohio Railroad number 2400, built by Alco in 1904. In 2017, at least four establishments still operated or were restoring ex-SAR Class NG G16 Garratts. Running numbers 99 5901-3 and 99 5906 are in working order.

Unlike other diesels purchased by the Ffestiniog Railway Company and named bilingually after Northern Welsh castles, 'Castell Caernarfon' is named in Welsh only. NG127 from Peter Newton in November 2011. Australian Standard Garratt; B Category:Bagnall; Baldwin 608; Baldwin Class 10-12-D; No. Restored and entered service in autumn 2006. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2974, Beyer Peacock builders No.7623. 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. 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. All three, numbered in the range from NG51 to NG53, were erected at the Uitenhage workshops and no. 7. In Port Elizabeth, they were employed on shed and yard duty and on transfer trips to and from the docks until, after the arrival of the Class 91-000 diesel-electric locomotives in 1973, they were withdrawn from service in October 1974. It is believed to have been stored in Essex and in Somerset before being moved to the Exmoor Steam Railway. Heated and double glazed.

[1] [2] Manufacturers [ edit] [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. G42 was to be withdrawn for major maintenance. This has been supplemented by later information as it became available. 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. 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]. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2975, Beyer Peacock builders No.7624. A number of Mallets were constructed for the Nordhausen Wernigerode Eisenbahn, now part of the Harz Narrow Gauge Railways system in Germany. 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. Operational after being overhauled in 2020. Trending pages Rio Grande No. Some other diesel locomotives (typically shunters) are available and operated in Sri Lanka other than the locomotives and shunters owned by Sri Lanka Railways. Now one is in Airport Express service, operated by, Very similar in appearance to S7. Locomotive has the NGG16A boiler unit but carried the standard British built unmodified power units off 142.

The following locomotives are normally Ffestiniog Railway stock that have run on the WHR. G41 was put to work on the Colac to Beach Forest and Crowes line in the states (Victoria) south-west. The units were unpopular with crews owing to frequent steam leakages and derailments resulting from the lack of pilot wheels. 141 was also painted red and nicknamed the Red Dragon. Back in operation as of February 2020. Not in use. Converted steam rail car in 1950. Porta. Porta. 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. . 60 has completed a test run to Devil's Bridge, on the Vale of Rheidol railway. In the 1990s, Sri Lanka Railways converted the narrow gauge (2ft6in (762mm)) Kelani Valley line into 5ft6in (1,676mm) broad gauge. In contrast to the rest of the Indonesian railways it has a gauge of 750mm (2ft5+12in), as to 1,067mm (3ft6in) for the rest of the Archipelago. The Puffing Billy Railway also purchased no. Although the simple-expansion concept diverged from Mallet's original patent, the locomotives were clearly a continuation of the concept and were still referred to as "Mallet" locomotives. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2980, Beyer Peacock builders No.7629. Note: One class N2 locomotive was re-classified as Class E1 after fitting with Alstom pantographs, to be run under electric power. Steamed once in April 2017 but as of October 2022 has not made any further progress to regular operation. They were the first Garratt locomotives to enter service in South Africa. ucla prime cohort; h e b shortbread cookies. Funded by WHR Society. Beyer, Peacock and Company was only able to deliver the first three locomotives in 1919 after cessation of hostilities. Purchased in summer 2009 for use on works trains from a private buyer. 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. 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 last steam locomotive built for the South African Railways. These U.S. locomotives were paralleled to some extent by heavy-haul versions in the USSR, though without any attempt at faster running. Operated mainly on the broad gauged. Built in 1926, the Garratt locos almost had the tractive effort of a K Class, on a narrow gauge line. Locomotive is for sale. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". 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. Transferred Dinas, in August 1997 for use on reconstruction work. whilst the power units have been rebuilt at Dinas. From 2008 they have completely rebuilt it, including re-gauging it to 2ft6in (762mm) as additional capacity at a time of increasing passenger loadings. Captions 26, 32. 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. This was further worsened by dynamic instability of the front end in running. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". 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. Either method was expensive and, in such conditions, the Garratt design had distinct advantages. 4014 is the largest, heaviest, and most powerful operational steam locomotive in the world. Moved from Paddock to Ixopo by December 2015 with the power units off 149. [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. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". [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. In 2010, the carriage was named 'Glaslyn' by Queen Elizabeth II at a ceremony at Dinas station. After first being steamed in September 2019 129, in November 2019 it underwent light engine and load testing.[14][15]. Total rebuild carried out including a new all-welded steel boiler and conversion to 2'6" gauge. 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. The BlonayChamby museum railway has two Mallets. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". Withdrawn from service in 2020, awaiting a replacement boiler for a new ten year ticket. Locomotives and train sets of Sri Lanka Railways consist mostly of diesel locomotives and multiple units. When fleets of such locomotives appeared in the middle 1920s the trade press called them "Simple Mallets" i.e., simple locomotives articulated like Mallets. They could develop 6,290 horsepower (4,690kW) on the drawbar at 35mph (56km/h) and were designed for a top speed of 70mph (110km/h), though they rarely saw these speeds. Numbers NG54 and NG55 were delivered in 1925 and erected at the Durban workshops in April of that year. It was CC 50 01 ( Prototype ) in the Transportation museum in TMII, CC 50 22 in Railway Museum (Netherlands) and CC 50 29 in the Ambarawa Railway Museum. The last known fate of all the Class NG G16 locomotives, as of October 25th 2022, are shown in Table I. 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. [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. [2], The Cockerill locomotives, numbers NG85 to NG88, remained in Natal for most of their service lives. ABPF-SC (Brazilian Association for Railroad Preservation Santa Catarina branch) has restored a 2-6-6-2 Mallet to working order. In 1964 they were both transferred to the Avontuur line in exchange for two newer Class NG G13 locomotives. 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. [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. [11] Several however, have now been cut up for scrap (see table below). NG55 was stored in the open at Ixopo awaiting extensive boiler repairs. NG51, c. 1919, NG G11 no. Dragon emblems were later mounted on the cab sides and bunker ends. 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. 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. Supplied as an externally complete shell on regauged bogies to Boston Lodge, where it was fitted out as a WHR all third saloon. After several years on light duties a new engine was fitted in October 1999. [13] and included one locomotive experimentally converted to electric traction.

As of March 2022, Sri Lanka does not have commercially operational electric locomotives or train sets. These were used in helper service in the Rockies and Selkirks. Sri Lanka's locomotives have appeared in several different liveries over the years. At the time, the PCNGR was operating tourist excursion trains between Ixopo and Ncalu. As of January 2023, No. [1][8], The rebuilding was done by mechanical engineer Phil Girdlestone, who was employed as Chief Mechanical Engineer of the ACR primarily for this purpose. The cabs of the second order locomotives were also improved to offer better protection to the crew. In 2010 it was acquired by Sandstone Estates. The model represents the Garratt locomotives presently running on the Welsh Highland Railway. Purchased in 2014 from Exmoor Steam Railway by Steam Powered Services and currently owned by Peter Best. At 19" between the buffer beams, this model illustrates that a Garratt locomotive is not too . [5] Currently painted in a "Burrell Plum" livery.[6]. Garratts may not be nearly as big as Big Boys, Yellowstones, Alleghenys, etc. [5], The Railways upgraded its service to diesel locomotives, under the leadership of B. D. Rampala in the mid 1950s. Both entered service in Natal. On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. [1], Other visible differences are larger mechanical lubricators and external drive from the valve spindle, a vacuum ejector exhaust muffler just in front of the safety valves, pipes conveying exhaust and ejector steam to the ashpan for mixing with the primary air, the secondary air inlets in the firebox sides with spark arresting plates outside them, and the snifting and bypass valves which were removed and blanked off since the modified locomotive drifted in mid-gear with steam supplied from the drifting valve. Fully upholstered, heated and double glazed coach delivered to Dinas in September 1997 for the start of the Caernarfon service. 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. 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. No. Power cars are single-ended locomotives without passenger interiors. Only Garratt to do so. [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. 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. Other basic elements of the locomotive remained more or less the same. 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. 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. [3] Many more steam locomotives were added to the system, through to the 1950s. AbeBooks.com: Victorian Railways Narrow Gauge G Class - Garratts in the Otways - Part Two: 48 pages profusely illustrated colour photos - 48 pages profusely illustrated colour photos - cover spine rubbed - The G class Garratt locomotives were built for the Victorian Railways 2' 6" gauge branch lines. 318 Denver & Rio Grande Southern No. 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. 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. Note the clear exhausts in the picture below of numbers 141 and 155 double-heading on the climb from Bongwana to Nqabeni. The ACR was also known as the Banana Express from the tourism part of its operation. [1][2][3][4], The challenges of Africa resulted in the regular need for double-heading of steam locomotives on heavy trains. Became Ffestiniog Railway property (in exchange for three bogie wagons) in 1926. 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). NG140, is used as a source of spare parts while four locomotives, Cockerill-built no. On display in excellent cosmetic condition. A new boiler has been constructed at the South Devon Railway (heritage railway) Scrapped by the THF at Humewood Road, Port Elizabeth, South Africa August 2011. by two ordinary steam locomotives.

Challenger #3985 was the largest operational steam locomotive in the world until the restoration of UP 4014. 143 re-entered service in 2011 in green livery for the Fairlies, Garratts and Mallets competition. This created the risk of the locomotive tilting over on tight curves. Main Page; All Pages; Community; . All trailer coaches are Air-conditioned Chiar cars. 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. Overhaul to operating condition stopped due to several factors. M6 ICE locomotives have a unique ICE livery of brown and orange. One Mallet ran in New Zealand, and is preserved at Glenbrook Vintage Railway, Auckland. All operational locomotives in the country today are broad gauge. [2][9][10], The first three locomotives were all working in Natal soon after entering service. "The Ultimate Steam Page P.

No. It was the first locomotive to be moved to Dinas, in January 1997. They had flat-topped water tanks with rounded top side edges, and were the first NGG16s to have welded tanks. 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. 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. Garratt locomotives have two well spaced bogies on which are mounted the water . [3][14], Beyer, Peacock and Company works picture of no. 491 is the largest operating narrow gauge steam locomotive in the western hemisphere. The South African Railways Class NG G16 2-6-2+2-6-2 was a narrow gauge steam locomotive. Like the Class 26, no. These narrow gauge Garratts had boilers of 4 feet 2 inches (1,270 millimetres) inside diameter on a frame width of about 6 feet 1012 inches (2,096 millimetres). 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). Water was carried in the front and rear tanks and also unusually, in a tank under the boiler. The Afrikaans spelling conventions were changed from time to time in the early years. As a result, no NG51 was officially retired by July 1962. A development of carriages 2043, 2044 and 2045. [1], The modifications were similar in scope to that of the Red Devil, although not as extensive. [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.
