Nicknamed "Old Maude", it was a 0-6-6-0 weighing 334,500lb (151,700kg) and with axle loads of 60,000lb (27,000kg). The last Garratt built by. 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. "[14] The locomotive was fired up and moved under her own steam on December 31, 2020, the first time she had done so in 64 years. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". 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. 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. [13] and included one locomotive experimentally converted to electric traction. 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. Only 3 CC50 engines survived. [2][3][7], However, while the locomotives were being built, the decision was made to convert all the SWA narrow gauge lines to Cape gauge. GM Detroit Diesel V16 engine. A dedicated carriage containing toilet, guard's office and buffet store, similar to Carriage 124 on the Ffestiniog Railway. [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. [10] The 1309 was also the last steam locomotive that Baldwin built for the North American market. The following locomotives are normally Ffestiniog Railway stock that have run on the WHR. The South African Railways Class NG G11 2-6-0+0-6-2 of 1919 was a narrow gauge steam locomotive. Since then, the Railways have imported locomotives from Canada, Japan, West Germany, India, France, and China[6][7][8]. These are Cockerill-built no. They had flat-topped water tanks with rounded top side edges, and were the first NGG16s to have welded tanks. In 1884, he proposed compounding combined with articulation; on lightly engineered secondary lines this could give greater power to locomotives whose axle load and size were limited. Funded by WHR Society. Class of South African 26-2+2-6-2 Garratt locomotives, South African Railways and Harbours Locomotive Diagram Book, 2'0" & 3'6" Gauge Steam Locomotives, 15 August 1941, as amended, Rebuilt Garratt undertakes its first Australian run, SATS / Transnet NG/G16 Garratt Fleet Disposal, Stars of Sandstone, Official Operating Programme for 12th - 21st April 2014. Almost identical to, A small Simplex locomotive loaned to the WHR by Innogy that has been used on construction trains, particularly on the. This page was last edited on 21 April 2022, at 19:32. It was planned to use them as tank-and-tender Garratts, semi-permanently attached to a water tender for use across the Namib desert in SWA, as was the practice with the Cape gauge Classes GM, GMA and GO tank-and-tender Garratts in South Africa. Diesel locomotives and multiple unit numbering started from 500 an Armstrong Whitworth 122hp 0-4-0 diesel-electric shunter delivered in 1934[12] and reached 840 in 1991. [, Overturned near Cutana on "Broken Hill Express". No. When fleets of such locomotives appeared in the middle 1920s the trade press called them "Simple Mallets" i.e., simple locomotives articulated like Mallets. 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. [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. Some are the locomotives owned by Sri Lanka Ports Authority and Holcim Sri Lanka limited. But unlike the CC 50 class, all of the CC 10s & DD 50 -52s was sadly cut up for scrap. The Afrikaans spelling conventions were changed from time to time in the early years. 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. 156 power units were cut up at Paddock in October 2017. AL 0.400 - 110 hp 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. 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. 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]. [3] Many more steam locomotives were added to the system, through to the 1950s. Another De Winton is on display in the entrance to the WHR Caernarfon Station. Power cars are single-ended locomotives without passenger interiors. We still hope for this engine to be preserved in railway museums, but there is a chance to make a new built of the class. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2979, Beyer Peacock builders No.7628. These U.S. locomotives were paralleled to some extent by heavy-haul versions in the USSR, though without any attempt at faster running. 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. Chattenden and Upnor Railway. [1], The cost of the work paid off financially within twelve months and led to a proposal to develop a Class NG G17 Garratt. The deal also included 20 container carriers and 30 fuel tank wagons. [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. Sri Lanka's locomotives have appeared in several different liveries over the years. [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. Entered service in plain black livery in 1998, but was due for boiler recertification in 2009. 143's bogies were both taken out of service and the loco ran on 138's bogies until it left service. Engine units sent with 156 to Ixopo. In 2010, the carriage was named 'Glaslyn' by Queen Elizabeth II at a ceremony at Dinas station. Operated mainly on the broad gauged. 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. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". For all narrow gauge (3ft 6in/1067mm) steam locomotives. Challenger #3985 was the largest operational steam locomotive in the world until the restoration of UP 4014. [13] This gave them a second almost-complete Class NG G16 which will possibly also be totally rebuilt in the future. All but one remained there for the rest of their service lives until withdrawal by 1962. In 1964 they were both transferred to the Avontuur line in exchange for two newer Class NG G13 locomotives. A development of the Winson Engineering carriages delivered in 1997, including wider door opening for easier access to passengers with reduced mobility. The South African Railways Class NG G16 2-6-2+2-6-2 was a narrow gauge steam locomotive. [5] Currently painted in a "Burrell Plum" livery.[6]. [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. By July 2017 no. Scrap condition. The two locomotives which received this treatment, no. 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. It was built for the Drewry Car Co, for Underhill Day & Co, for the South Johnstone Co-operative Sugar Milling Association in Australia. On display in excellent cosmetic condition. 2644 and Class 26 no. by two ordinary steam locomotives. [13], Both superheated locomotives still exist. The fact that they did not need to be run through to terminals to be turned around also made increased operational flexibility possible. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". Fitted with Pullman style armchairs. [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. No. Therefore, as the weight on the coupled wheels decreases, the locomotive has less adhesion and becomes increasingly prone to slipping. After several years on light duties a new engine was fitted in October 1999. An additional "simple" (as opposed to compound) unit with road #1955 featuring the same arrangement was also produced. 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. [9][10][11], Since withdrawal from SAR service, some locomotives were sold to foreign railways and into private hands and restored to operational condition, while others ended up in various degrees of preservation ranging across the spectrum from running order to staging to total abandonment. Transferred to Dinas in March by rail using the CTRL. The Puffing Billy Railway also purchased no. Darjeeling Himalayan Railway D Class Beyer-Garratt The BlonayChamby museum railway has two Mallets. NG141 achieved a fuel saving of 25% compared to a standard Class NG G16 Garratt, a performance which was easily maintained in regular service. Mallet designs were popular in Hungary, too. [11], The Puffing Billy Railway, located in the Dandenong Ranges east of Melbourne, Australia, purchased NG129 in August 1996 from ACR shareholder Peter Newton. At the time, the PCNGR was operating tourist excursion trains between Ixopo and Ncalu. This 180hp Gardner 6LXB diesel-engined locomotive was built for R.N. Became Ffestiniog Railway property (in exchange for three bogie wagons) in 1926. Total rebuild carried out including a new all-welded steel boiler and conversion to 2'6" gauge. Hitachi Tourist excursion train. 143 is one of four Beyer-Garratt NGG16 (2-6-2 + 2-6-2T) locomotives, formerly from South Africa, that provide the power for the new Welsh Highland Railway. Back in operation by April 2019 after a boiler retube. Scrapped at Paddock, South Africa September 2017. 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. 58 Rio Grande No. A Garratt is therefore a single locomotive with double the tractive effort and, with its weight distributed over a long and flexible multi-axle wheelbase, a lower axle loading. 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. Sri Lanka's first railway locomotive was Leopold, in 1864. The last steam locomotive built for the South African Railways. Back in operation as of February 2020. The first locomotives pulled trains on the original segment of the Main Line, on 54 kilometres (34 miles) connecting Colombo and Ambepussa. Porta. Purchased from Exmoor Steam Centre, who imported it to the UK. Funded by a private donor. A third stage (triple expansion) may be employed. These locomotives had an enlarged front water tank capacity, but carried no water in their rear bunkers which consequently had a larger coal capacity. 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). These are the most powerful narrow gauge locos in the world, which is necessary to cope with the hard gradients of up to 1 in 40 along the line pulling up to 12 coaches. Under construction at Boston Lodge. Captions 26, 32. 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. Subsequent to the exchange, the number "24" was allocated to Ashbury "Corridor" No. 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 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. Norfolk & Western 2156 is the sole surviving Y6a, preserved at the National Museum of Transportation in St. Louis. Superheating also required alteration of the valve gear and piston valves were therefore used instead of slide valves. [16], Another industrial type has been purchased and restored by the Statfold Barn Railway in the UK. 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. 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. Narrow Gauge Garratt locomotives Herbert Garratt - and his Sandstone locomotives An iconic Sandstone scene. [1][2][8][9], With the GPCS, the coal is heated to drive off the volatile components which are then burned in the secondary air admitted above the grate. Notable locomotives was the last remaining Australian Standard Garratt and the narrow gauge Clyde-GM G-8 numbered D1. On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. In the 1990s, Sri Lanka Railways converted the narrow gauge (2ft6in (762mm)) Kelani Valley line into 5ft6in (1,676mm) broad gauge. 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. Directory of UK railways, large links page and articles on worldwide narrow gage railroads ex South African Railways Beyer Peacock Garratt at Waunfawr [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. We will launch the first 20 of the re-issued Steam Railbus at EXPO NARROW GAUGE at Swanley on Oct 27th, 2007. [1][2][8], Having been proved successful during trials, another two locomotives were ordered from Beyer, Peacock. [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. 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. NG52 still exists. NG51 was later returned to the Avontuur line to replace the retiring Class NG3 no. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2975, Beyer Peacock builders No.7624. Ordered by Sri Lanka Veneers & Plywood. The Mallet locomotive is a type of articulated steam railway locomotive, invented by the Swiss engineer Anatole Mallet (1837-1919).. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2980, Beyer Peacock builders No.7629. [1][2][3][4], The challenges of Africa resulted in the regular need for double-heading of steam locomotives on heavy trains. "New as they were, the last C&O steam engines never got adequate maintenance, lengthening the list of work needed to bring 1309 back to life. 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. [2][3][4][5], In 1937, Socit Anonyme John Cockerill of Seraing in Belgium delivered four new 2-6-2+2-6-2 locomotives, numbered in the range from NG85 to NG88, which were so similar to the older locomotives that they were initially designated Class NG G13 as well. Two NGG16's working against the background of the Maluti Mountains. Funded by the WHR Society. Restored and entered service in autumn 2006. 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. 155, was rebuilt in 1990, but it retained its traditional ex-SAR black livery. This 180hp Gardner 6LXB diesel-engined locomotive was built for RNAD Ernesettle, Plymouth. The Australian Standard Garratt (ASG) locomotive was designed by the Commonwealth Land Transport Board. As a French-speaking Swiss, Mallet pronounced his name accordingly, something like "Ma-lay". One class P1 locomotive was at Viharamahadevi (Victoria) Amusement Park[14], S1S8 Diesel Hydraulic Multiple Units, S9S14, S14A Diesel Electric & Electro-Diesel Multiple Units. Compounding was proposed by the British engineer Jonathan Hornblower in 1781. [, Entered service as "404". 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. [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. 3985 is being restored to operating condition by the Railroading Heritage of Midwest America.[12][13]. 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. Three Mallets ran in Australia, including one on the Magnet Tramway in Tasmania. After first being steamed in September 2019 129, in November 2019 it underwent light engine and load testing.[14][15]. NG55, 4 June 2005, NG G11 no. [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. [2], The Cockerill locomotives, numbers NG85 to NG88, remained in Natal for most of their service lives. Various other liveries also exist. NG51 was put on trials on the Avontuur line in May 1920. [1], Ex South African Railways NGG 16 Class Garratt. [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. Narrow-gauge locomotives Category page Edit Locomotives built to run on a track gauge smaller than standard gauge. NG55 at Ixopo, KwaZulu-Natal, 4 June 2005, The compact Walschaerts valve gear on NG G11 no. Ex South African Railways NGG16 Class Garratt, green livery. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". [3] Manufacturer [ edit] [1], Ejector pump efficiency depends on the length-to-diameter ratio of the exhaust chimney. [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. Sub-classification was based on weight, modifications, heating type, boiler capacity, or other features. Unrestored. Both modified locomotives were reclassified to Class NG G16A. A replica of an 1894 "Ashbury" NWNGR "Summer Coach". [2], Ex South African Railways NGG16 Class Garratt. Mallet proposed cross-compounding in which a conventional steam locomotive configuration would have one high-pressure cylinder and one low-pressure cylinder. "The Ultimate Steam Page P.

The work was carried out at Port Shepstone. All scrapped, Some were later fitted with small under-floor diesel units and were reclassified T2, Except one (571 Saskatchewan) all others are still in active service, M5A: Re-engined locally using MTU V12 in 1991; M5B: Re-engined locally using, Sub Class M8A: Only 2 locomotives were introduced. Only the boiler cradle and cab are today genuine 156. 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. 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. 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. [2][3][11], Of the first three locomotives, only no. In 1938, locomotives were reclassified, based on wheel arrangement and gauge. It is currently in active service, and a spare boiler is being overhauled for it ahead of a planned overhaul in 2021/22. The final loco, Chesapeake and Ohio 1309, is preserved on the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad. [4], Throughout its history, Ceylon Government Railway had 410 steam locomotives. 141 in 1989. However this limited cater locomotives from SLR for some services. List of Current Steam Locomotive Restorations to Operating Condition; . Narrow Gauge 400 class-class 4-8-2+2-8-4 Garratt locomotives 400 class 400 to 409 Jump to: The 400 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. In 2017, at least four establishments still operated or were restoring ex-SAR Class NG G16 Garratts. These two were superheated and, as a result, had longer smokeboxes and were 9+12 inches (241 millimetres) longer in overall length. 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. [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. Locomotives and train sets of Sri Lanka Railways consist mostly of diesel locomotives and multiple units.
