Alternative solutions would either be double-heading longer trains or re-building and re-aligning large parts of the lines to accommodate heavier locomotives. Like the Class 26, no. The air inlets contain swirl inducers to spread the incoming air inside the firebox. Transferred Dinas, in August 1997 for use on reconstruction work. Typical for many locomotives is a livery that has thick horizontal bands of dark blue, light blue, silver and a yellow stripe. [1], The second locomotive, the Hunslet-Taylor-built no. One, 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. gauge lines of the Bengal Nagpur Railway in India. [4] [14] The exhaust steam from these cylinders was fed into a . 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. In 2010 it was acquired by Sandstone Estates. Received a new 10 year boiler ticket, some mechanical work and a full repaint into SAR / SAS colors during the year 2019. The model represents the Garratt locomotives presently running on the Welsh Highland Railway. [, Entered service as "404". 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. Built by Baguley as a 2ft gauge locomotive with the builders number 2395. Finished in U.K. Pullman Car Company livery. 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.

Steam locomotives are no longer used, except on heritage trains, such as the Viceroy Special. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2974, Beyer Peacock builders No.7623. Soul of A Railway, System 3: Cape Midland, based in Port Elizabeth, Part 4: Loerie to Assegaaibos. [9] Only ten (of 25 originally ordered) were built before the order was cancelled, the last delivered in September 1949. 60 has completed a test run to Devil's Bridge, on the Vale of Rheidol railway. First to be acquired was the Hanomag G 2x 3/3 0-6-6-0 No104. 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. Garratt locomotives have two well spaced bogies on which are mounted the water . In January 2017, fully rebuilt, it was transferred to the Sandstone Estates Railroad where it made its operational debut in March 2017 during the annual Stars of Sandstone event. Note: One class N2 locomotive was re-classified as Class E1 after fitting with Alstom pantographs, to be run under electric power. Currently used as a mess coach on construction trains and as a reserve passenger brake vehicle. 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. G42 was located on the Moe to Walhalla line in the states south-east. 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. This was the last locomotive built by Beyer, Peacock and Company in Manchester. Only Garratt to do so. NG155 in 1990, were reclassified to Class NG G16A. For the first time since arriving in Aberystwyth, Garratt NGG13 No. 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.

Arrived ex ship "Belnor". [citation needed], The Welsh Highland Railway in Wales has five Class NG G16 locomotives. Bought by the Ffestiniog Railway in 1981 and re-gauged, it was re-bodied and overhauled at Boston Lodge in 1986 and frequently used on 'pull and push' trains. Sold to Welshpool and Llanfair Railway in 1962 and to the Ffestiniog Railway in 1968 and re-gauged. In service on newly refurbished bogies. Chattenden and Upnor Railway. [1][2], After completion of the Otavi Railway's gauge widening by April 1961, a flood of Class NG15 locomotives from South West Africa swamped the Humewood Road depot in Port Elizabeth. by two ordinary steam locomotives. Several units out of service shortly after introduction due to cost of spares and repair. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". Ownership transferred to Paddock Motors (Derick Classen) after a court case to resolve unpaid storage fees. The run to Devil's Bridge was part of testing at the narrow-gauge railway, which runs for 11 34 miles whilst visiting 9 stations and halts.

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. The DMUs are painted in various liveries, unique to their classes. Overhaul to operating condition stopped due to several factors. Owned by Transnet Heritage Trust. 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. [, Entered service as "402". Ex South African Railways NGG16 Class Garratt, green livery. This created the risk of the locomotive tilting over on tight curves. Two NGG16's working against the background of the Maluti Mountains. These were used in helper service in the Rockies and Selkirks. 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. It hauls tourist steam trains on 3% grades. Their engine numbers, builders, years built and works numbers are listed in Table II. 227, Lake County Historical Society Steam Locomotive No. 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. Sixteen "Beyer-Garratt" locomotives of the 4-8-0 + 0-8-4 type are in service on the 5 ft. 6 in. [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. [12], Narrow gauge locomotives were numbered in the same list as broad gauge locomotives. On a Garratt, the boiler could literally be dimensioned up to the full cross section of the loading gauge. Transferred to Dinas in March by rail using the CTRL. Porta. The last steam locomotive built for the South African Railways. Locomotive Wiki. 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. The following locomotives are normally Ffestiniog Railway stock that have run on the WHR. This page was last edited on 4 August 2022, at 12:33. On display in excellent cosmetic condition. [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. Note piston valves on high-pressure cylinders and slide valves on low-pressure cylinders. 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. 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. Note the clear exhausts in the picture below of numbers 141 and 155 double-heading on the climb from Bongwana to Nqabeni. Mallet development culminated in 1941 with the 4-8-8-4 Big Boy type on the Union Pacific railroad. A number of the Union Pacific "Big Boys", are preserved, including one overlooking Omaha, Nebraska where UP is based. [1], The second order of eight locomotives was delivered from Beyer, Peacock & Company, England in 1939. In 2010, the carriage was named 'Glaslyn' by Queen Elizabeth II at a ceremony at Dinas station. 15) and Beyer, Peacock & Company (nos. Produced in the CPR's Angus shops, road numbers 1950 to 1954 were outshopped between 1909 and 1911. 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. NG141 in 1989 and no. 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. [16], Another industrial type has been purchased and restored by the Statfold Barn Railway in the UK. 6 and 7). It was the first locomotive to be moved to Dinas, in January 1997. 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. [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 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 by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2980, Beyer Peacock builders No.7629. This was further worsened by dynamic instability of the front end in running. They have shown their ability to handle loads of 2,000 tons on grades of 1 in 100 at 15 m.p.h., compared with previous loads of 1,650 tons hauled at 8 m.p.h. On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. Spent much of its working life in South Africa until it was replaced by diesel traction. [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. 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.

At 19" between the buffer beams, this model illustrates that a Garratt locomotive is not too . NG55, 4 June 2005, NG G11 no. whilst the power units have been rebuilt at Dinas. The truck could therefore turn into a curve and move to some extent laterally. In 1989 and 1990 two of these locomotives were rebuilt to Class NG G16A by the Alfred County Railway. [3] Many more steam locomotives were added to the system, through to the 1950s. No. 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. [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. Unrestored, scrap condition. But unlike the CC 50 class, all of the CC 10s & DD 50 -52s was sadly cut up for scrap. [1], Ejector pump efficiency depends on the length-to-diameter ratio of the exhaust chimney. Typically they feature horizontal bands of colour running their entire length and a solid colour on the front and back ends. In Canada, the Canadian Pacific Railway experimented with an unusual design of Mallet promoted by H.H. The front of the locomotive articulated on a bogie. A development of carriages 2043, 2044 and 2045. [, Entered service as "401". The first locomotive to undergo the treatment was the Beyer, Peacock-built no. Originally sponsored by Historic Houses Hotels Ltd, the proprietors of Bodysgallen Hall, hence the name Bodysgallen. [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. The two locomotives which received this treatment, no. After first being steamed in September 2019 129, in November 2019 it underwent light engine and load testing.[14][15]. 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. 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. More Pictures > 400 The Mallet locomotive is a type of articulated steam railway locomotive, invented by the Swiss engineer Anatole Mallet (18371919). is now at Paton County Narrow Gauge Railway . Between 1937 and 1968, the South African Railways placed 34 Class NG G16 Garratt articulated 2-6-2+2-6-2 steam locomotives in service on the Avontuur Railway and on the Natal narrow gauge lines. The lower-pressure steam occupies a larger volume and the low-pressure (LP) cylinders are larger than the high-pressure cylinders. The cabs of the second order locomotives were also improved to offer better protection to the crew. [6], Probably the greatest advantage of the Garratt was that, with its boiler and grate area suspended between two engine units without the need to leave room for coupled wheels and cylinders, wide and deep fireboxes with large grate areas and large diameter boilers were possible. 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. 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. 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. This 180hp Gardner 6LXB diesel-engined locomotive was built for R.N. AL 0.400 - 110 hp A dedicated carriage containing toilet, guard's office and buffet store, similar to Carriage 124 on the Ffestiniog Railway. Notable locomotives was the last remaining Australian Standard Garratt and the narrow gauge Clyde-GM G-8 numbered D1. No. The Afrikaans spelling conventions were changed from time to time in the early years. Built in 1926, the Garratt locos almost had the tractive effort of a K Class, on a narrow gauge line. This page was last edited on 27 February 2023, at 16:41. 141 achieved a fuel saving of 25% compared to a standard Class NG G16 Garratt, a performance which was easily maintained in regular service. They were mechanically similar to the earlier and subsequent Class NG G16 locomotives, but with a revised coal and water carrying arrangement. Purchased in summer 2009 for use on works trains from a private buyer. 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. Power car is a single-ended locomotive without passenger interiors. G42 was to be withdrawn for major maintenance. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". Unlike other diesels purchased by the Ffestiniog Railway Company and named bilingually after Northern Welsh castles, 'Castell Caernarfon' is named in Welsh only. Either method was expensive and, in such conditions, the Garratt design had distinct advantages. Some are not in use. The Australian Standard Garratt (ASG) was a Garratt steam locomotive designed in Australia during World War II, and used on 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) narrow gauge railway systems in Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia and Tasmania. Commenced service on the Puffing Billy Railway in December 2019 before being withdrawn again for further work. [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. 141 in 1989. 23, re-establishing the division between FR and WHR stock in the combined stock list. Almost identical to, A small Simplex locomotive loaned to the WHR by Innogy that has been used on construction trains, particularly on the.

This was the last narrow gauge line left in Sri Lanka, and its conversion to broad gauge put the fleet of narrow gauge locomotives out of use. 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. Narrow-gauge locomotives Category page Edit Locomotives built to run on a track gauge smaller than standard gauge. The deal also included 20 container carriers and 30 fuel tank wagons. Subsequent to the exchange, the number "24" was allocated to Ashbury "Corridor" No. 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 type is generally regarded as the largest steam locomotive in the world. These locomotives were introduced in 1926 to increase train sizes and thus reduce losses on . 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. 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. 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. The fact that they did not need to be run through to terminals to be turned around also made increased operational flexibility possible. (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 . 2644 and Class 26 no. [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. 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. 729 ex demonstrator, ran as DR V150.001; imported 1970. After several years on light duties a new engine was fitted in October 1999. A new boiler has been constructed at the South Devon Railway (heritage railway) Transferred to Dinas by road early September 2008. [13] and included one locomotive experimentally converted to electric traction. [, Entered service as "403". "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. 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] Manufacturer [ edit] [1], A Garratt is actually two separate locomotives combined in a double articulated format, thereby providing multiple powered axles over which the total locomotive weight is spread. [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. Operational after being overhauled in 2020. [3][14], Beyer, Peacock and Company works picture of no. MV 401[hu] was a (1B)B locomotive in service between 19051969 and MV 651[hu] 0-6-6-0 until 1962. 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. Steam locomotives were numbered from 1 upwards, reaching 161 in 1911. 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). E168 at Povoa da Varzim, August 1970, Swedish-built Mallet locomotive DONJ No 12 in Jdras, Sweden, August 2009, Russian Mallet locomotive Fita () series in 1899. Under construction at Boston Lodge. 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.

[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. Between 1937 and 1968, the South African Railways placed 34 Class NG G16 Garratt articulated 2-6-2+2-6-2 steam locomotives in service on the Avontuur Railway and on the Natal narrow gauge lines. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2978, Beyer Peacock builders No.7627. 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. [1][2][3], The system of grouping narrow-gauge locomotives into classes was only adopted by the SAR somewhere between 1928 and 1930. [3][4], Media related to South African Class NG G16 (2-6-2+2-6-2) at Wikimedia Commons. They were the first Garratt locomotives to enter service in South Africa. 143 re-entered service in 2011 in green livery for the Fairlies, Garratts and Mallets competition. These are Cockerill-built no. [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. On postage stamps, for example, it was "Zuid Afrika" from 1913, "Suidafrika" from the airmail stamps of 1925 and hyphenated "Suid-Afrika" from 1933. This page was last edited on 2 January 2023, at 00:53. Sub-classification was based on weight, modifications, heating type, boiler capacity, or other features. 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. NG140, is used as a source of spare parts while four locomotives, Cockerill-built no. [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. [5], The Railways upgraded its service to diesel locomotives, under the leadership of B. D. Rampala in the mid 1950s. Hitachi Tourist excursion train. 58 Rio Grande No. Another 2 WDG4D locomotives are to be arrived. [3], Although they had already been ordered in 1914, production was disrupted by the First World War. 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. Several Mallets have been preserved, some in operational condition. 143's bogies were both taken out of service and the loco ran on 138's bogies until it left service. Three Mallets ran in Australia, including one on the Magnet Tramway in Tasmania. On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. 141 was also painted red and nicknamed the Red Dragon. 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. These U.S. locomotives were paralleled to some extent by heavy-haul versions in the USSR, though without any attempt at faster running.
