A major overhaul on its power units was completed in May 2016, taking 18 months. Sold to Welshpool and Llanfair Railway in 1962 and to the Ffestiniog Railway in 1968 and re-gauged. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2976, Beyer Peacock builders No.7625. Sub class M10A was introduced in 2013 which is a technical variant. 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. Darjeeling Himalayan Railway D Class Beyer-Garratt Several units out of service shortly after introduction due to cost of spares and repair. 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. It was in service until 1979, and as of September 2021 is still under restoration. The first Mallet locomotive in the United States was Baltimore & Ohio Railroad number 2400, built by Alco in 1904. Operated mainly on the broad gauged. 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. This 180hp Gardner 6LXB diesel-engined locomotive was built for R.N. [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. The object of the latter is to convert the kinetic energy of the combustion gas and exhaust steam mixture to a pressure as close to atmospheric as possible. To accommodate the pivoting, the steam and exhaust pipes have flexible connections between the engine units and the central cradle. They were the first Garratt locomotives to enter service in South Africa. This, in turn, results in a more powerful locomotive, since a much larger percentage of the locomotive's total mass contributes to traction compared to a tender locomotive of similar total mass. Price: GBP80 plus GBP1.50 p+p in the UK. [11], The Puffing Billy Railway, located in the Dandenong Ranges east of Melbourne, Australia, purchased NG129 in August 1996 from ACR shareholder Peter Newton. Back in operation as of February 2020. (Under licence to Beyer Peacock & Co. - Manchester, England), Entered service as "400". Both modified locomotives were reclassified to Class NG G16A. [3], Although they had already been ordered in 1914, production was disrupted by the First World War. NG52 still exists. Scrap condition. Garratt locomotives have two well spaced bogies on which are mounted the water . Owned by Transnet Heritage Trust. - last, Entered service as "407". 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. [2] In 1953, the first locomotives from British builder Brush Bagnall were imported. On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". 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. Mallet proposed cross-compounding in which a conventional steam locomotive configuration would have one high-pressure cylinder and one low-pressure cylinder. 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. Electrification has been proposed, to improve energy efficiency and sustainability.[9]. In 2017, at least four establishments still operated or were restoring ex-SAR Class NG G16 Garratts. [, Entered service as "409". [3][14], Beyer, Peacock and Company works picture of no. Transferred to Dinas, in April 2000 for use as a stand-by on passenger engine. South African Railways and Harbours Narrow Gauge Locomotive Diagram Book, 2'0" Gauge, S.A.R. [1][2][3][4], The challenges of Africa resulted in the regular need for double-heading of steam locomotives on heavy trains. [1][2][3], The third order was for a further seven locomotives in 1951, numbered in the range from NG125 to NG131, once again from Beyer, Peacock. A development of the Winson Engineering carriages delivered in 1997, including wider door opening for easier access to passengers with reduced mobility. Updated start of season 2020.[10]. AL 0.400 - 110 hp Similar to 2100, built at Boston Lodge. Only Garratt to get to Quorn [, Worked to Broken Hill. [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. In 2010, the carriage was named 'Glaslyn' by Queen Elizabeth II at a ceremony at Dinas station. These U.S. locomotives were paralleled to some extent by heavy-haul versions in the USSR, though without any attempt at faster running. CC 50 22, an early Dutch-built Indonesian Mallets has been returned to the Netherlands and is now exhibited in the Dutch Railway Museum but meanwhile, the other 2 like CC 50 01 is preserved in Transportation Museum in TMII and CC 50 29 is preserved in the Ambarawa Railway Museum. Power car is a single-ended locomotive without passenger interiors. Now in service. [citation needed]. whilst the power units have been rebuilt at Dinas. Specifications: Scale: 1:19; Dual gauge: 32/45mm [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. On December 17, 2021, C&O 1309 (now WMSR 1309) entered excursion service on the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad. [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. Transferred to Dinas in March by rail using the CTRL. 141 achieved a fuel saving of 25% compared to a standard Class NG G16 Garratt, a performance which was easily maintained in regular service. It was sold to Rustenburg Platinum Mines in 1956 and became their no. [1][5], Unlike tender locomotives, Garratts are bi-directional, which eliminates the need for turntables or triangles, also known as wyes. The ASG was to be a suitable narrow gauge locomotive aimed at easing a chronic shortage of motive power on the various state 3'6" gauge systems, which was a result of the advent of World War 2. Converted from 2041, completed 2017. Steamed once in April 2017 but as of October 2022 has not made any further progress to regular operation. Notable locomotives was the last remaining Australian Standard Garratt and the narrow gauge Clyde-GM G-8 numbered D1. [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. 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). [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. Back in operation by April 2019 after a boiler retube. In 2004 the locomotive was purchased by a member of the Lynton & Barnstaple Trust, who shipped it from Australia in 2005. Beyer-Peacock had stopped building steam locomotives after the last batch of Class NG G16 in 1958 and by 1968 they were in the process of closing the business altogether. In 1989 and 1990 two of these locomotives were rebuilt to Class NG G16A by the Alfred County Railway. Converted steam rail car in 1950. In the 1990s, Sri Lanka Railways converted the narrow gauge (2ft6in (762mm)) Kelani Valley line into 5ft6in (1,676mm) broad gauge. 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 . [1], In comparative testing, no. Entered service in plain black livery in 1998, but was due for boiler recertification in 2009. Their engine numbers, builders, years built and works numbers are listed in Table II.

[8], The Cockerill-built locomotives were delivered with bilingual cabside number plates inscribed "NG/G13" and with the older style Afrikaans "SUID AFRIKANSE SPOORWE" at the bottom. Garratts may not be nearly as big as Big Boys, Yellowstones, Alleghenys, etc. 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. The last known fate of all the Class NG G16 locomotives, as of October 25th 2022, are shown in Table I. 7. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". Purchased in summer 2009 for use on works trains from a private buyer. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". We would like to show you a description here but the site won't allow us. 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. Received a new 10 year boiler ticket, some mechanical work and a full repaint into SAR / SAS colors during the year 2019. [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. In service on newly refurbished bogies. 15) and Beyer, Peacock & Company (nos. Having first moved under its own steam on 5 February 2021,[4] the locomotive hauled its first (private) passenger train on 30 April 2021. NG55 entering Ixopo station, 3 September 2005. Caption 4. Porta. Extensive gallery of narrow gauge railway photos. By 2011 it was being restored and rebuilt in Bloemfontein. 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. Photo credit: David Benn section of surviving Narrow Gauge Garratt locomotives in the world. These three locomotives were not superheated. Located in the former Humewood Road (Port Elizabeth) Narrow Gauge diesel depot in good external condition. It initially remained there after the trials, while the other two went to the Stuartstown line in Natal, to be joined there by no. Ownership transferred to Paddock Motors (Derick Classen) after a court case to resolve unpaid storage fees. 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. [, Entered service as "403". GM Detroit Diesel V16 engine. Not in use. On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. The locomotive has a Gardner 8LW diesel engine de-rated to 132hp. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". Narrow Gauge Garratt locomotives Herbert Garratt - and his Sandstone locomotives An iconic Sandstone scene. In September 2018, Sri Lankan Railway ordered 160 passenger coaches from India under $318M line of credit given by India. Total rebuild carried out including a new all-welded steel boiler and conversion to 2'6" gauge. Coal fired. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2982, Beyer Peacock builders No.7631. Ten-yearly overhaul was completed in 2020, with the locomotive now painted in South African Railways black with SAR/SAS logo on the coal bunker. Funded by the WHR Society. Note piston valves on high-pressure cylinders and slide valves on low-pressure cylinders. The South African Railways Class NG G16 2-6-2+2-6-2 was a narrow gauge steam locomotive. Ordered by Sri Lanka Veneers & Plywood. A number of Mallets were constructed for the Nordhausen Wernigerode Eisenbahn, now part of the Harz Narrow Gauge Railways system in Germany. This was the last locomotive built by Beyer, Peacock and Company in Manchester. Locomotives and train sets of Sri Lanka Railways consist mostly of diesel locomotives and multiple units. 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. The result is improved combustion, thereby minimising black smoke, which is evidence of incomplete combustion and unburnt coal particles being ejected through the exhaust. 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.
