Other basic elements of the locomotive remained more or less the same. Funded by the WHR Society. 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. 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. 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 at Boston Lodge. Porta. 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. The Mallet locomotive is a type of articulated steam railway locomotive, invented by the Swiss engineer Anatole Mallet (18371919). [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. 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. While West Africa found its solution in larger 4-6-2 Pacific and 2-8-2 Mikado locomotives at the beginning of the twentieth century, the steeper gradients and tighter curves in South Africa made a different solution necessary. 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. Mallets were employed in Brazilian 1,000mm (3ft3+38in) metre gauge, tight-radius railroads. Garratt locomotives have two well spaced bogies on which are mounted the water . Transferred to Dinas in March by rail using the CTRL. Directory of UK railways, large links page and articles on worldwide narrow gage railroads ex South African Railways Beyer Peacock Garratt at Waunfawr [11], The Puffing Billy Railway, located in the Dandenong Ranges east of Melbourne, Australia, purchased NG129 in August 1996 from ACR shareholder Peter Newton. [, Worked to Quorn. Basil Roberts caught 2-8-0 + 0-8-2 Garratt GB 827 working an engineer's train at Pyinyaung on the mountainous branch above Thazi on 16th November 1972. The first locomotive to undergo the treatment was the Beyer, Peacock-built no. 141 achieved a fuel saving of 25% compared to a standard Class NG G16 Garratt, a performance which was easily maintained in regular service. Ex South African Railways NGG16 Class Garratt, red livery. [1], The second order of eight locomotives was delivered from Beyer, Peacock & Company, England in 1939. Converted to coal firing. 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. [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. List of Welsh Highland Railway rolling stock, Ffestiniog Railway locomotives used on the WHR, List of Welsh Highland Railway Ltd rolling stock, "Steam locomotive K1 to return to steam? It is currently in active service, and a spare boiler is being overhauled for it ahead of a planned overhaul in 2021/22. 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. The last steam locomotive built for the South African Railways. Scrapped at Paddock, South Africa August 2017. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". As a result, no NG51 was officially retired by July 1962. whilst the power units have been rebuilt at Dinas. Transferred to Dinas, in April 2000 for use as a stand-by on passenger engine. [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. [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. For all narrow gauge (3ft 6in/1067mm) steam locomotives. 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. [1] In 1953, Sri Lanka Railways enhanced its service to more power with diesel locomotives. It hauls tourist steam trains on 3% grades. It was built for the Drewry Car Co, for Underhill Day & Co, for the South Johnstone Co-operative Sugar Milling Association in Australia. [1] [2] Manufacturers [ edit] 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. In addition, the articulated design of the earlier models, as well as the most powerful, the 1956 model locomotive with its 4-8-2+2-8-4 axle arrangement, enabled it . [13] and included one locomotive experimentally converted to electric traction. The single surviving example of a cab-forward Mallet is Southern Pacific 4294, on display at the California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento, California. NG129's restoration was planned to coincide with the next time that no. These narrow gauge Garratts had boilers of 4feet 2inches (1,270 millimetres) inside diameter on a frame width of about 6feet 10+12inches (2,096 millimetres). 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. NG51 was later returned to the Avontuur line to replace the retiring Class NG3 no. 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. 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. The various Railbus units that are currently operated are not listed below. After several years on light duties a new engine was fitted in October 1999. For the first time since arriving in Aberystwyth, Garratt NGG13 No. Alternative solutions would either be double-heading longer trains or re-building and re-aligning large parts of the lines to accommodate heavier locomotives. 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. AL 0.400 - 110 hp An additional "simple" (as opposed to compound) unit with road #1955 featuring the same arrangement was also produced. Note the clear exhausts in the picture below of numbers 141 and 155 double-heading on the climb from Bongwana to Nqabeni. Remaining large components re-assembled using 116 boiler for static display at Ixopo by January 2019. 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. Extensive gallery of narrow gauge railway photos. It was sold to Rustenburg Platinum Mines in 1956 and became their no. Smaller Mallets were used by plantations and other industries, all of the 0-4-4-0 type. 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. Sri Lanka's locomotives have appeared in several different liveries over the years. Initially outshopped in photographic grey livery on completion in 2009 and was then painted into midnight blue livery from March 2010. 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. [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. Scrapped at Paddock, South Africa October 2017. Commenced service on the Puffing Billy Railway in December 2019 before being withdrawn again for further work. "The Ultimate Steam Page P.

(Under licence to Beyer Peacock & Co. - Manchester, England), Entered service as "400". Used also on civil engineering rosters. [2][3], Another drawback is the risk of tilting. No. [10] The 1309 was also the last steam locomotive that Baldwin built for the North American market. MV 401[hu] was a (1B)B locomotive in service between 19051969 and MV 651[hu] 0-6-6-0 until 1962. 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]. These are Cockerill-built no. Not in use. Re-entered service in October 2022 after overhaul and the fitting of a Hunslet built boiler shipped from Australia ex 129. One, no. Sri Lanka's first railway locomotive was Leopold, in 1864. [citation needed]. Replacement for 2115 which is in need of an overhaul. [, Entered service as "406". These were used in helper service in the Rockies and Selkirks. [4], A powerful steam locomotive is problematic on a track gauge of only 2 feet (610 millimetres) with a tight minimum radius of about 150 feet (46 metres) which, in practice, restricts powerful rigid-frame locomotives to four-coupled wheels, often with at least one flangeless coupled wheelset. Running numbers 99 5901-3 and 99 5906 are in working order. 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. [4], Throughout its history, Ceylon Government Railway had 410 steam locomotives. Unlike other diesels purchased by the Ffestiniog Railway Company and named bilingually after Northern Welsh castles, 'Castell Caernarfon' is named in Welsh only. 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. After first being steamed in September 2019 129, in November 2019 it underwent light engine and load testing.[14][15]. Between 1937 and 1968 the South African Railways placed 34 Class NG G16 2-6-2+2-6-2 Garratt articulated steam locomotives in service. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2973, Beyer Peacock builders No.7622. Constructed by Nippon Sharyo in Japan, they were the only Mallets built in Asia. Narrow Gauge - Garratt Locomotives - NGG11 - 51 to NGG16 - 116 Pictures and Information Page 1. Locomotive Wiki. [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. 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. Numbers 1 and 2: 2-6-0/0-6-2 Beyer Peacock Garratt acquired new in 1936/38. The South African Railways Class NG G16 2-6-2+2-6-2 was a narrow gauge steam locomotive. However this limited cater locomotives from SLR for some services. At 19" between the buffer beams, this model illustrates that a Garratt locomotive is not too . Ownership transferred to Paddock Motors (Derick Classen) after a court case to resolve unpaid storage fees. 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. The front of the locomotive articulated on a bogie. Nicknamed "Old Maude", it was a 0-6-6-0 weighing 334,500lb (151,700kg) and with axle loads of 60,000lb (27,000kg). Caption 4. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2976, Beyer Peacock builders No.7625. With the FR-WHR link now open, FR locos visit fairly regularly on special services. 15) and Beyer, Peacock & Company (nos. 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. but they are still an impressive piece of machinery. Power cars are single-ended locomotives without passenger interiors. Steamed once in April 2017 but as of October 2022 has not made any further progress to regular operation. 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. The first official train ran on April 30, 2017. In 2010, the carriage was named 'Glaslyn' by Queen Elizabeth II at a ceremony at Dinas station. Sixteen "Beyer-Garratt" locomotives of the 4-8-0 + 0-8-4 type are in service on the 5 ft. 6 in. Transferred to Dinas by road early September 2008. In Canada, the Canadian Pacific Railway experimented with an unusual design of Mallet promoted by H.H. Heated and double glazed. NG127 from Peter Newton in November 2011. 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. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2975, Beyer Peacock builders No.7624. 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]. 141 in 1989. All are diesel hydraulic type except DLW locomotive which is diesel electric. 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. 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. 141 was also painted red and nicknamed the Red Dragon. 482 Rio Grande No. Steam locomotives were numbered from 1 upwards, reaching 161 in 1911. 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. Some parts including the British built Hunslet boiler used to make 116 whole. 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. A development of carriages 2043, 2044 and 2045. This created the risk of the locomotive tilting over on tight curves. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2974, Beyer Peacock builders No.7623. Not to be confused with the steam locomotive E1, this electric locomotive is not in commercial use. A number of the Union Pacific "Big Boys", are preserved, including one overlooking Omaha, Nebraska where UP is based. On display in excellent cosmetic condition. Scrapped by the THF at Humewood Road, Port Elizabeth, South Africa August 2011. A replica of an 1894 "Ashbury" NWNGR "Summer Coach". Garratts may not be nearly as big as Big Boys, Yellowstones, Alleghenys, etc. M6 ICE locomotives have a unique ICE livery of brown and orange. Finished in U.K. Pullman Car Company livery. This was further worsened by dynamic instability of the front end in running. 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. 15 Jones & Laughlin Steel No. Refurbished in 2002 and returned to the WHR. [1][2][3][4], The challenges of Africa resulted in the regular need for double-heading of steam locomotives on heavy trains. The strongest Mallet locomotives in Europe were the members of the MV 601 which was built for the Hungarian State Railways, it was a 2-6-6-0 locomotive. 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. The Afrikaans spelling conventions were changed from time to time in the early years. [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. This has been supplemented by later information as it became available. 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. In 2004 the locomotive was purchased by a member of the Lynton & Barnstaple Trust, who shipped it from Australia in 2005. 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.
