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. [1], Ejector pump efficiency depends on the length-to-diameter ratio of the exhaust chimney. The ACR was also known as the Banana Express from the tourism part of its operation. 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. For the first time since arriving in Aberystwyth, Garratt NGG13 No. After first being steamed in September 2019 129, in November 2019 it underwent light engine and load testing.[14][15]. Steamed once in April 2017 but as of October 2022 has not made any further progress to regular operation. Explore. [2][3], Another drawback is the risk of tilting. 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. Weighing 71.25 tons, they were initially used on the main quarry line until replaced by the diesel, later being used as shunters. Numbers 1 and 2: 2-6-0/0-6-2 Beyer Peacock Garratt acquired new in 1936/38. - last, Entered service as "407". 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. An additional "simple" (as opposed to compound) unit with road #1955 featuring the same arrangement was also produced. They were the first Garratt locomotives to enter service in South Africa. NG5 as yard shunter at Humewood Road. [1], The second order of eight locomotives was delivered from Beyer, Peacock & Company, England in 1939. Remaining large components re-assembled using 116 boiler for static display at Ixopo by January 2019. [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. [4] [14] The South African Railways Class NG G11 2-6-0+0-6-2 of 1919 was a narrow gauge steam locomotive. 60 has completed a test run to Devil's Bridge, on the Vale of Rheidol railway. Out of service waiting for a general overhaul and replacement boiler (September 2022). G42 was located on the Moe to Walhalla line in the states south-east. 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. Ordered by Sri Lanka Veneers & Plywood. 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. Almost identical to, A small Simplex locomotive loaned to the WHR by Innogy that has been used on construction trains, particularly on the. These were used in helper service in the Rockies and Selkirks. [12], Narrow gauge locomotives were numbered in the same list as broad gauge locomotives. It was one of seven 4-4-0 locomotives built that year for the Ceylon Government Railway by Robert Stephenson & Company (nos. Power cars are single-ended locomotives without passenger interiors. NG141 in 1989 and no. [, Entered service as "402". This created the risk of the locomotive tilting over on tight curves. But unlike the CC 50 class, all of the CC 10s & DD 50 -52s was sadly cut up for scrap. The locomotive has a Gardner 8LW diesel engine de-rated to 132hp. Note: One class N2 locomotive was re-classified as Class E1 after fitting with Alstom pantographs, to be run under electric power. Running numbers 99 5901-3 and 99 5906 are in working order. [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. Several smaller logging-railroad Mallets have been restored to operating condition, including 2-6-6-2T Black Hills Central #110 in Hill City, South Dakota, 2-6-6-2T Clover Valley Lumber Company #4 in Sunol, California,[15] and 2-4-4-2 Deep River Logging "Skookum" #7 in Garibaldi, Oregon. 3985 is being restored to operating condition by the Railroading Heritage of Midwest America.[12][13]. In 1964 they were both transferred to the Avontuur line in exchange for two newer Class NG G13 locomotives.

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. More Pictures > 400 One Mallet ran in New Zealand, and is preserved at Glenbrook Vintage Railway, Auckland. World War 2 put paid to the earlier locomotives and by the 1970s the lines were effectively dieselised and the surviving wartime GB and GC Garratts were reduced to menial duties. Under construction at Boston Lodge. Overhaul to operating condition stopped due to several factors. The South African Railways Class NG G16 2-6-2+2-6-2 was a narrow gauge steam locomotive. 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. 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. On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. Moved from Paddock to Ixopo by December 2015 with the power units off 149. This is a list of the rolling stock owned by the Ffestiniog Railway Company which is used to operate the Welsh Highland Railway, Ex Tasmanian Government Railways K class, the world's first Garratt locomotive. In service on newly refurbished bogies. Converted to coal firing. Similar to 2100, built at Boston Lodge. The various Railbus units that are currently operated are not listed below. 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 most serious waste of fuel in a conventional steam locomotive is the loss of unburned coal particles from the fuel bed through the exhaust because of the rapid flow of air through the grate. Therefore, as the weight on the coupled wheels decreases, the locomotive has less adhesion and becomes increasingly prone to slipping. Funded by the WHR Society. Their in-house compound 0-6-6-0 design located both the high and low pressure cylinders adjacent to one another in the center of the locomotive driving opposite directions. Smaller Mallets were used by plantations and other industries, all of the 0-4-4-0 type. Diesel locomotives and multiple unit numbering started from 500 - an Armstrong Whitworth 122 hp 0-4-0 diesel-electric shunter delivered in 1934 [12] - and reached 840 in 1991. Constructed by Nippon Sharyo in Japan, they were the only Mallets built in Asia. Only the boiler cradle and cab are today genuine 156. 156 power units were cut up at Paddock in October 2017. 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. 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. Several Mallets have been preserved, some in operational condition. All operational locomotives in the country today are broad gauge. [. All but one remained there for the rest of their service lives until withdrawal by 1962. Ownership transferred to Paddock Motors (Derick Classen) after a court case to resolve unpaid storage fees. On a Garratt, the boiler could literally be dimensioned up to the full cross section of the loading gauge. 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). [9][10], The GPCS relies on the gasification of coal on a low temperature firebed so that the gases are then fully burnt above the firebed. Narrow Gauge - Garratt Locomotives - NGG11 - 51 to NGG16 - 116 Pictures and Information Page 1. NG129's restoration was planned to coincide with the next time that no. [2] In 1953, the first locomotives from British builder Brush Bagnall were imported. It initially remained there after the trials, while the other two went to the Stuartstown line in Natal, to be joined there by 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. Entered service in plain black livery in 1998, but was due for boiler recertification in 2009. Commenced service on the Puffing Billy Railway in December 2019 before being withdrawn again for further work. NG127 from Peter Newton in November 2011. As of March 2022, Sri Lanka does not have commercially operational electric locomotives or train sets. 229, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mallet_locomotive&oldid=1141931372, Short description is different from Wikidata, Articles with unsourced statements from October 2022, Articles needing additional references from October 2022, All articles needing additional references, Articles with unsourced statements from September 2022, Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License 3.0. all the locomotive weight would be adhesive, yet there would be great flexibility of the locomotive as a vehicle; A simple type of very powerful locomotive would be created. After several years on light duties a new engine was fitted in October 1999. On December 17, 2021, C&O 1309 (now WMSR 1309) entered excursion service on the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad. 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. Nicknamed "Old Maude", it was a 0-6-6-0 weighing 334,500lb (151,700kg) and with axle loads of 60,000lb (27,000kg). [citation needed]. Converted steam rail car in 1950. 15) and Beyer, Peacock & Company (nos. Scrapped at Paddock, South Africa October 2017. Lease lend to the Apple Express Organization. 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. These U.S. locomotives were paralleled to some extent by heavy-haul versions in the USSR, though without any attempt at faster running. Initially outshopped in photographic grey livery on completion in 2009 and was then painted into midnight blue livery from March 2010. [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. 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. Another 2 WDG4D locomotives are to be arrived. 141 achieved a fuel saving of 25% compared to a standard Class NG G16 Garratt, a performance which was easily maintained in regular service. [3], Although they had already been ordered in 1914, production was disrupted by the First World War. [13], Both superheated locomotives still exist. Steam locomotives are no longer used, except on heritage trains, such as the Viceroy Special. Similar to Carriage 2010.The first coach built for the Caernarfon service, delivered to. Both entered service in Natal. Ex-Chattenden and Upnor Railway coach acquired for the WHR from the South Tynedale Railway and regauged from 2ft 6in gauge. Ex South African Railways NGG16 Class Garratt, red livery. Notable locomotives was the last remaining Australian Standard Garratt and the narrow gauge Clyde-GM G-8 numbered D1. As of January 2023, No. 30 of MV 422[hu] 0-4-4-0 were built between 18981902 (the last one served until 1958). Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2973, Beyer Peacock builders No.7622.

These locomotives had an enlarged front water tank capacity, but carried no water in their rear bunkers which consequently had a larger coal capacity. 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. 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. The cabs of the second order locomotives were also improved to offer better protection to the crew. 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]. They were numbered in the range from NG109 to NG116. Another De Winton is on display in the entrance to the WHR Caernarfon Station. 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. Captions 26, 32. It was the first locomotive to be moved to Dinas, in January 1997. Ex South African Railways NG15 Class Unrestored. [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. Transferred to Dinas, in April 2000 for use as a stand-by on passenger engine. To accommodate the pivoting, the steam and exhaust pipes have flexible connections between the engine units and the central cradle. Trending pages Rio Grande No. Unlike other diesels purchased by the Ffestiniog Railway Company and named bilingually after Northern Welsh castles, 'Castell Caernarfon' is named in Welsh only. 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. Rebuilt in 1989 to Class NGG16A, Privately owned by the Mortimer family, in very poor condition. Transferred to Dinas by road early September 2008. The last Garratt built by. Typically the support bearing was placed beneath the smokebox, hollowed and with a sliding seal to provide a route for exhaust steam from the low-pressure cylinders to discharge through a blastpipe within the smoke box. On display in good cosmetic condition, on loan from Sandstone Estates. 491 is the largest operating narrow gauge steam locomotive in the western hemisphere. Although less obvious, both Wardale GPCS locomotives, Class 19D no. [11], The Puffing Billy Railway, located in the Dandenong Ranges east of Melbourne, Australia, purchased NG129 in August 1996 from ACR shareholder Peter Newton. The last known fate of all the Class NG G16 locomotives, as of October 25th 2022, are shown in Table I. [1][2], The Beyer, Peacock locomotives ordered by the SAR, numbers NG109 to NG116 and NG125 to NG131, were shared more or less equally between the Natal and Langkloof lines. [12], The other two were scrapped after being retired from SAR service. 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). "Union Pacific Big Boy", an example of a simple Mallet. With the introduction of diesel locomotives, coloured liveries appeared. 141 was also painted red and nicknamed the Red Dragon. [1][5], Unlike tender locomotives, Garratts are bi-directional, which eliminates the need for turntables or triangles, also known as wyes. The term "Mallet" continued to be widely used for simple as well as compound locomotives. 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. Porta. 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). The Mallet locomotive is a type of articulated steam railway locomotive, invented by the Swiss engineer Anatole Mallet (18371919). At 56 tonnes this locomotive was one of the largest steam metre gauge locos ever built in Europe. 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. Two NGG16's working against the background of the Maluti Mountains. [citation needed]. MV 401[hu] was a (1B)B locomotive in service between 19051969 and MV 651[hu] 0-6-6-0 until 1962. This type is generally regarded as the largest steam locomotive in the world. Total rebuild carried out including a new all-welded steel boiler and conversion to 2'6" gauge. Heated and double glazed. Several others followed for railways in mainland Europe. All are diesel hydraulic type except DLW locomotive which is diesel electric. 155, was rebuilt in 1990, but it retained its traditional ex-SAR black livery. In 1989 and 1990 two of these locomotives were rebuilt to Class NG G16A by the Alfred County Railway. Sri Lanka's locomotives have appeared in several different liveries over the years. Fitted with Pullman style armchairs. England 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. Drawing Office, Pretoria, 28 November 1932, South African Railways and Harbours Locomotive Diagram Book, 2'0" & 3'6" Gauge Steam Locomotives, 15 August 1941, as amended, South African National Railway And Steam Museum, "Technology in Australia 1788-1988, Chapter 7, page 460". It was built for the Drewry Car Co, for Underhill Day & Co, for the South Johnstone Co-operative Sugar Milling Association in Australia. Located in the former Humewood Road (Port Elizabeth) Narrow Gauge diesel depot in good external condition. 141 in 1989. (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 . Dragon emblems were later mounted on the cab sides and bunker ends. [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. The exhaust steam from these cylinders was fed into a . Specifications: Scale: 1:19; Dual gauge: 32/45mm 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.
