Mallet designs were popular in Hungary, too. Built at Boston Lodge. As the front truck cylinders were now using boiler pressure steam, special arrangements were necessary to deliver it, through the truck pivot pin where only radial movement took place. These two were superheated and, as a result, had longer smokeboxes and were 9+12 inches (241 millimetres) longer in overall length. Several units out of service shortly after introduction due to cost of spares and repair. 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. 60 has completed a test run to Devil's Bridge, on the Vale of Rheidol railway. 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. In service on newly refurbished bogies. 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. Now in service. 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]. 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. Also common for many locomotives is a livery of horizontal bands of green, brown, and a yellow stripe. NG87 and Beyer, Peacock-built numbers NG130, NG138 and NG143, are used for operational purposes. Work undertaken at Boston Lodge. The Mallet locomotive is a type of articulated steam railway locomotive, invented by the Swiss engineer Anatole Mallet (1837-1919).. [, Entered service as "409". Articulated locomotive with compound steam power, Learn how and when to remove this template message, "Virginian 2-10-10-2 Locomotives of the USA", "Chesapeake & Ohio / Hocking Valley 2-6-6-2 "Mallet Mogul" Locomotives in the USA", "Steam Locomotive #110:: 1880 Train:: 2018 Season", "Railroading Heritage of Midwest America - official website", "Work begins on Union Pacific Challenger No. 141 was also painted red and nicknamed the Red Dragon. [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. NG51, c. 1919, NG G11 no. Funded by a private donor. Became Ffestiniog Railway property (in exchange for three bogie wagons) in 1926. 7. [5] Received negatively at first due to speed limitation arising from the short wheelbase and stiff suspension, it gained support during service, and it was soon followed by Baldwin examples, and then steadily heavier and more powerful successors. [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. After first being steamed in September 2019 129, in November 2019 it underwent light engine and load testing.[14][15]. [2][3][11], Of the first three locomotives, only no. Out of service waiting for a general overhaul and replacement boiler (September 2022). Similar to 2100, built at Boston Lodge. [1][2], Altogether 34 Class NG G16 2-6-2+2-6-2 locomotives were built for the South African Railways (SAR) between 1937 and 1968. All are diesel hydraulic type except DLW locomotive which is diesel electric. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". [4] [14] Sitting in the comfort of one of the first-class Pullman carriages is surely one of the finest experiences in North Wales, as is the excitement of riding in one of the open carriages behind the world's most powerful narrow-gauge steam locomotives, the Beyer Garratt NG/G16. Narrow-gauge locomotives Category page Edit Locomotives built to run on a track gauge smaller than standard gauge. Only Garratt to do so. Numbers 1 and 2: 2-6-0/0-6-2 Beyer Peacock Garratt acquired new in 1936/38. 58 Rio Grande No. [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. Ex South African Railways NGG16 Class Garratt, green livery. Specifications: Scale: 1:19; Dual gauge: 32/45mm The weight of the front part of the boiler was to be supported on an arc-shaped radial bearing. By 2011 it was being restored and rebuilt in Bloemfontein. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". Main Page; All Pages; Community; . Other basic elements of the locomotive remained more or less the same. The units were unpopular with crews owing to frequent steam leakages and derailments resulting from the lack of pilot wheels. To accommodate the pivoting, the steam and exhaust pipes have flexible connections between the engine units and the central cradle. [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. Mallet development culminated in 1941 with the 4-8-8-4 Big Boy type on the Union Pacific railroad. NG127 from Peter Newton in November 2011. No. Sub-classification was based on weight, modifications, heating type, boiler capacity, or other features. 141 achieved a fuel saving of 25% compared to a standard Class NG G16 Garratt, a performance which was easily maintained in regular service. More pictures on the Patons County Photos page: NGG11-55 - Estcourt - TH-NGG11-55 - Estcourt - TH NGG11-55 - Port Elizabeth - JL - (KSC) . [3][4], Media related to South African Class NG G16 (2-6-2+2-6-2) at Wikimedia Commons. [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. An additional "simple" (as opposed to compound) unit with road #1955 featuring the same arrangement was also produced. NG55 at Ixopo, KwaZulu-Natal, 4 June 2005, The compact Walschaerts valve gear on NG G11 no. Locomotive has the NGG16A boiler unit but carried the standard British built unmodified power units off 142. Garratts may not be nearly as big as Big Boys, Yellowstones, Alleghenys, etc. Steam locomotives are no longer used, except on heritage trains, such as the Viceroy Special. Although the simple-expansion concept diverged from Mallet's original patent, the locomotives were clearly a continuation of the concept and were still referred to as "Mallet" locomotives. Ex South African Railways NGG16 Class Garratt, red livery. [3], Although they had already been ordered in 1914, production was disrupted by the First World War. [2][9][10], The first three locomotives were all working in Natal soon after entering service. 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. 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. 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. [5], The Railways upgraded its service to diesel locomotives, under the leadership of B. D. Rampala in the mid 1950s. Some other diesel locomotives (typically shunters) are available and operated in Sri Lanka other than the locomotives and shunters owned by Sri Lanka Railways. between 1995 and 2002 with numbers RB1 to RB14. 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. The model represents the Garratt locomotives presently running on the Welsh Highland Railway. Operational after being overhauled in 2020. Collector's Series These kits are faithful depictions of classic narrow gauge designs, covering prototypes from 1'11" gauge (60cm) to 2'6". [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. Only 3 CC50 engines survived. 482 Rio Grande No. 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. Steam locomotives were numbered from 1 upwards, reaching 161 in 1911. [2], The Cockerill locomotives, numbers NG85 to NG88, remained in Natal for most of their service lives. This page was last edited on 21 April 2022, at 19:32. Originally sponsored by Historic Houses Hotels Ltd, the proprietors of Bodysgallen Hall, hence the name Bodysgallen. Underwent a major restoration at Boston Lodge Works. Rebuilt in 1989 to Class NGG16A, Privately owned by the Mortimer family, in very poor condition. 155, was rebuilt in 1990, but it retained its traditional ex-SAR black livery. All trailer coaches are Air-conditioned Chiar cars. [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. They were mechanically similar to the earlier and subsequent Class NG G16 locomotives, but with a revised coal and water carrying arrangement. Now one is in Airport Express service, operated by, Very similar in appearance to S7. "Union Pacific Big Boy", an example of a simple Mallet.

The Afrikaans spelling conventions were changed from time to time in the early years. On December 17, 2021, C&O 1309 (now WMSR 1309) entered excursion service on the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad. Lease lend to the Apple Express Organization. NG51 later. Some are the locomotives owned by Sri Lanka Ports Authority and Holcim Sri Lanka limited. Back in operation as of February 2020. [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. No 23 returned to FR service in 1955 and full doors fitted in 1966. NG88, Beyer, Peacock-built no. In 2009 the loco was displayed in Caernarfon town square to collect donations for the restoration of its sister loco, number 134. All three, numbered in the range from NG51 to NG53, were erected at the Uitenhage workshops and no. Since then, the Railways have imported locomotives from Canada, Japan, West Germany, India, France, and China[6][7][8]. 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. 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). Superheating also required alteration of the valve gear and piston valves were therefore used instead of slide valves. It was in service until 1979, and as of September 2021 is still under restoration. [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. 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. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2977, Beyer Peacock builders No.7626. The various Railbus units that are currently operated are not listed below. It was to become the first Garratt to enter SAR service. A replica of an 1894 "Ashbury" NWNGR "Summer Coach". Like the Class 26, no. Subsequent to the exchange, the number "24" was allocated to Ashbury "Corridor" No. Notable locomotives was the last remaining Australian Standard Garratt and the narrow gauge Clyde-GM G-8 numbered D1. [13] and included one locomotive experimentally converted to electric traction. Power car is a single-ended locomotive without passenger interiors. 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. From a total of 23 engines in March 1961, of which four were sub-shedded at Loerie, the number almost doubled to 43 by July. 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. 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. Re-entered service in 2010 in crimson lake livery. The ACR was also known as the Banana Express from the tourism part of its operation. NG52 still exists. Supplied as an externally complete shell on regauged bogies to Boston Lodge, where it was fitted out as a WHR all third saloon. [1], In comparative testing, no. Large numbers of Mallet designs for narrow gauge railways were built, but in 1889 the first six standard gauge examples were built by J A Maffei for the Swiss Central railways, and an 87 tonne 0-6-6-0T banker (US: pusher) for the Gotthard Bahn, the last being the most powerful and heaviest locomotive in the world at the time. 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. [1], The modifications were similar in scope to that of the Red Devil, although not as extensive. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2979, Beyer Peacock builders No.7628. Overhaul to operating condition stopped due to several factors. [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. Narrow Gauge - Garratt Locomotives - NGG11 - 51 to NGG16 - 116 Pictures and Information Page 1. [1][5], Unlike tender locomotives, Garratts are bi-directional, which eliminates the need for turntables or triangles, also known as wyes. (Under licence to Beyer Peacock & Co. - Manchester, England), Entered service as "400". 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. Scrapped at Paddock, South Africa October 2017. 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. [2] Since then, various types of diesel locomotives were added to the service. These six locomotives were ultimately the only articulated locomotives operated by a Canadian railway. They had flat-topped water tanks with rounded top side edges, and were the first NGG16s to have welded tanks. Both entered service in Natal. Converted steam rail car in 1950. [citation needed], Two of Union Pacific's Challengers survived into preservation. It was built for the Drewry Car Co, for Underhill Day & Co, for the South Johnstone Co-operative Sugar Milling Association in Australia. But unlike the CC 50 class, all of the CC 10s & DD 50 -52s was sadly cut up for scrap. GM Detroit Diesel V16 engine. 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. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". Two 2-8-8-4 examples built in Russia in 195455 were probably the last Mallets built in Europe.[3]. Typical for many locomotives is a livery that has thick horizontal bands of dark blue, light blue, silver and a yellow stripe. Power car is a single-ended locomotive without passenger interiors. The front of the locomotive articulated on a bogie. Several re-furbished and in operation. As of January 2023, No. Arrived on the WHR 18 February 2010. The single surviving example of a cab-forward Mallet is Southern Pacific 4294, on display at the California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento, California. Sixteen "Beyer-Garratt" locomotives of the 4-8-0 + 0-8-4 type are in service on the 5 ft. 6 in. 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. NG55, 4 June 2005, NG G11 no. As a French-speaking Swiss, Mallet pronounced his name accordingly, something like "Ma-lay". 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. Refurbished in 2002 and returned to the WHR. Purchased in summer 2009 for use on works trains from a private buyer. - last, Entered service as "407". [3], Mallet found typical main line railways were unwilling to adopt his ideas. 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. 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. These are Cockerill-built no. Power cars are single-ended locomotives without passenger interiors. [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. 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. D&RGW Railroad Steam Locomotive No. The final Garratt locomotive built at Gorton works, South African Railways NG/G16 No.143 is also now at the Welsh Highland Railway. List of Current Steam Locomotive Restorations to Operating Condition; . Engine units sent with 156 to Ixopo. Imported in two variants, one for run on commuter services and other run on long distance services. Alternative solutions would either be double-heading longer trains or re-building and re-aligning large parts of the lines to accommodate heavier locomotives. 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. G41 was put to work on the Colac to Beach Forest and Crowes line in the states (Victoria) south-west. 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. 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. Captions 26, 32. 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. 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. 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). Prior to this exchange, this carriage had been WHR No 24. 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. NG129's restoration was planned to coincide with the next time that no. [citation needed]. When fleets of such locomotives appeared in the middle 1920s the trade press called them "Simple Mallets" i.e., simple locomotives articulated like Mallets. [1], The second locomotive, the Hunslet-Taylor-built no. The BlonayChamby museum railway has two Mallets. Updated * 04-01-2008. . Transferred to Dinas in March by rail using the CTRL. The mill gave it the number 9 and used it to work sugar cane wagons in Innisfail district of Far North Queensland. 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). The final loco, Chesapeake and Ohio 1309, is preserved on the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad. 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. Extensive gallery of narrow gauge railway photos. [13], Both superheated locomotives still exist. [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. Restored and entered service in autumn 2006. WO6E1- 120 hp 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. 60 arrived via a low-loader back in July 2017 . [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. [, Entered service as "405". Used also on civil engineering rosters. A development of carriages 2043, 2044 and 2045. However this limited cater locomotives from SLR for some services. [1][2], When the lower section of the Avontuur line was dieselised upon the arrival of the Class 91-000 diesel-electric locomotives in 1973, all the Class NG G16 locomotives still in service were transferred to various branches in Natal, where they remained until they were withdrawn from service. Various other liveries also exist. 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. However, in view of the fact that all the carrying wheels were fitted with roller bearing axle boxes and arranged as swiveling pony trucks, compared to the Class NG G13 of which the inner carrying wheels were built to the Glsdorf system which allowed the axle some lateral movement, it was soon decided to reclassify them to Class NG G16. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2982, Beyer Peacock builders No.7631. renato's palm beach happy hour Uncovering hot babes since 1919. [13] This gave them a second almost-complete Class NG G16 which will possibly also be totally rebuilt in the future. This 180hp Gardner 6LXB diesel-engined locomotive was built for RNAD Ernesettle, Plymouth. Spent much of its working life in South Africa until it was replaced by diesel traction. In 2017, at least four establishments still operated or were restoring ex-SAR Class NG G16 Garratts. Funded by the WHR Society. 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. Power outputs of over 700 indicated horsepower was achieved and the locomotive was probably capable of achieving a maximum of 800 indicated horsepower, some 25% more than the Class 91-000 narrow gauge diesel-electric locomotive. On display in good cosmetic condition, on loan from Sandstone Estates. Owned by Transnet Heritage Trust. We would like to show you a description here but the site won't allow us. whilst the power units have been rebuilt at Dinas. These locomotives had an enlarged front water tank capacity, but carried no water in their rear bunkers which consequently had a larger coal capacity. One, no. By July 2017 no. [, Entered service as "402". Scrapped at Paddock, South Africa August 2017. [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.
