narrow gauge garratt locomotives

[2] In 1953, the first locomotives from British builder Brush Bagnall were imported. is now at Paton County Narrow Gauge Railway . [1], The second locomotive, the Hunslet-Taylor-built no. Built by Baguley as a 2ft gauge locomotive with the builders number 2395. NG55 entering Ixopo station, 3 September 2005. 155, was rebuilt in 1990, but it retained its traditional ex-SAR black livery. Located in the former Humewood Road (Port Elizabeth) Narrow Gauge diesel depot in good external condition. [2][3], Another drawback is the risk of tilting. [1][2][3][4], The challenges of Africa resulted in the regular need for double-heading of steam locomotives on heavy trains. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". 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. 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. 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. A number of Mallets were constructed for the Nordhausen Wernigerode Eisenbahn, now part of the Harz Narrow Gauge Railways system in Germany. In 2017, at least four establishments still operated or were restoring ex-SAR Class NG G16 Garratts. [2], Ex South African Railways NGG16 Class Garratt. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". [citation needed]. 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. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". This 180hp Gardner 6LXB diesel-engined locomotive was built for RNAD Ernesettle, Plymouth. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". In the 1990s, Sri Lanka Railways converted the narrow gauge (2ft6in (762mm)) Kelani Valley line into 5ft6in (1,676mm) broad gauge. Built at Boston Lodge. The BlonayChamby museum railway has two Mallets. It was in service until 1979, and as of September 2021 is still under restoration. NG55 was stored in the open at Ixopo awaiting extensive boiler repairs. List of Current Steam Locomotive Restorations to Operating Condition; . Porta. Mallet development culminated in 1941 with the 4-8-8-4 Big Boy type on the Union Pacific railroad. 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. Specifications: Scale: 1:19; Dual gauge: 32/45mm Only Garratt to get to Quorn [, Worked to Broken Hill. This has been supplemented by later information as it became available. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". [10] The 1309 was also the last steam locomotive that Baldwin built for the North American market. 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). The following locomotives are normally Ffestiniog Railway stock that have run on the WHR. 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? On display in excellent cosmetic condition. On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. Prior to this exchange, this carriage had been WHR No 24. Sub-classification was based on weight, modifications, heating type, boiler capacity, or other features. They could develop 6,290 horsepower (4,690kW) on the drawbar at 35mph (56km/h) and were designed for a top speed of 70mph (110km/h), though they rarely saw these speeds. Now in service. NG127 from Peter Newton in November 2011. Fully upholstered, heated and double glazed coach with double doors for wheelchair access, sponsored by First Hydro and delivered to Dinas in September 1997 for the start of the Caernarfon service. As of September 2021 it hauls tourist trains on 5% grades.[18]. [9][10], In comparative testing, no. The first locomotives pulled trains on the original segment of the Main Line, on 54 kilometres (34 miles) connecting Colombo and Ambepussa. [, Entered service as "402". 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. 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. 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. 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. A development of carriages 2043, 2044 and 2045. gauge lines of the Bengal Nagpur Railway in India. [1][2][7], The Hunslet-Taylor locomotives, numbers NG149 to NG156, were placed in service on the Harding and Donnybrook branches in Natal in 1968. 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. This then was what became understood as a "Mallet" locomotive: an articulated locomotive in which the rear set of driving wheels were fixed in the main frame of the locomotive; an articulated truck carrying a second set of driving wheels; and compounding in which the high-pressure cylinders drove the axles on the main frame and the articulated axles were driven by low-pressure steam. On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. [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. [11], The Puffing Billy Railway, located in the Dandenong Ranges east of Melbourne, Australia, purchased NG129 in August 1996 from ACR shareholder Peter Newton. It was the first locomotive to be moved to Dinas, in January 1997. After several years on light duties a new engine was fitted in October 1999. Refurbished in 2002 and returned to the WHR. 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. On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. 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. 7. All three, numbered in the range from NG51 to NG53, were erected at the Uitenhage workshops and no. [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. One, no. Another De Winton is on display in the entrance to the WHR Caernarfon Station. Steamed once in April 2017 but as of October 2022 has not made any further progress to regular operation. Similar to 2100, built at Boston Lodge. 3985 is being restored to operating condition by the Railroading Heritage of Midwest America.[12][13]. Some are not in use. Two NGG16's working against the background of the Maluti Mountains. NG113 and Hunslet-Taylor-built no.

The Mallet locomotive is a type of articulated steam railway locomotive, invented by the Swiss engineer Anatole Mallet (18371919). By July 2017 no. Became Ffestiniog Railway property (in exchange for three bogie wagons) in 1926. Norfolk & Western 2156 is the sole surviving Y6a, preserved at the National Museum of Transportation in St. Louis. While not an outright failure these were considered an unsuccessful design, and by 1916-1917 these units had been converted to a conventional 2-10-0 arrangement. One Mallet ran in New Zealand, and is preserved at Glenbrook Vintage Railway, Auckland. Narrow Gauge - Garratt Locomotives - NGG11 - 51 to NGG16 - 116 Pictures and Information Page 1. 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. [13] This gave them a second almost-complete Class NG G16 which will possibly also be totally rebuilt in the future. Only 3 CC50 engines survived. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2976, Beyer Peacock builders No.7625. Funded by a private donor. A third stage (triple expansion) may be employed. Typically they feature horizontal bands of colour running their entire length and a solid colour on the front and back ends. 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. It is believed to have been stored in Essex and in Somerset before being moved to the Exmoor Steam Railway.

Locomotive is for sale. In January 2014, Big Boy #4014 was removed from its museum ground parking track in Pomona, California, and hauled to Cheyenne, Wyoming, for restoration to operating condition; this was completed in May 2019. Not in use. [, Entered service as "401". Several re-furbished and in operation. 30 of MV 422[hu] 0-4-4-0 were built between 18981902 (the last one served until 1958). 23, re-establishing the division between FR and WHR stock in the combined stock list.

This type is generally regarded as the largest steam locomotive in the world. 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 1938, locomotives were reclassified, based on wheel arrangement and gauge. [4][14], Steam locomotives were used on regular services until the 1970s.[2][4]. 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. Withdrawn from service in 2020, awaiting a replacement boiler for a new ten year ticket. [11] Several however, have now been cut up for scrap (see table below). 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. 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. Nicknamed "Old Maude", it was a 0-6-6-0 weighing 334,500lb (151,700kg) and with axle loads of 60,000lb (27,000kg). Note the clear exhausts in the picture below of numbers 141 and 155 double-heading on the climb from Bongwana to Nqabeni. NG52 still exists. NG51 later.

Chesapeake & Ohio 2-6-6-2 #1309, the last domestic steam locomotive built by Baldwin, was scheduled for restoration in September 2017. Converted to coal firing. 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. 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. 143's bogies were both taken out of service and the loco ran on 138's bogies until it left service. Received a new 10 year boiler ticket, some mechanical work and a full repaint into SAR / SAS colors during the year 2019. It was built for the Drewry Car Co, for Underhill Day & Co, for the South Johnstone Co-operative Sugar Milling Association in Australia. (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 . As a French-speaking Swiss, Mallet pronounced his name accordingly, something like "Ma-lay". Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2977, Beyer Peacock builders No.7626. by two ordinary steam locomotives. A replica of an 1894 "Ashbury" NWNGR "Summer Coach". Vaughan, then Chief Mechanical Officer and Assistant to the CPR Vice-President. 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). 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. The mill gave it the number 9 and used it to work sugar cane wagons in Innisfail district of Far North Queensland. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2979, Beyer Peacock builders No.7628. 143 re-entered service in 2011 in green livery for the Fairlies, Garratts and Mallets competition. The Puffing Billy Railway also purchased no. [12], The other two were scrapped after being retired from SAR service. 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 ACR was also known as the Banana Express from the tourism part of its operation. In 2009 the loco was displayed in Caernarfon town square to collect donations for the restoration of its sister loco, number 134. [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. Diesel locomotives of Sri Lanka Railway are categorized into several classes and their sub classes. NG55, 4 June 2005, NG G11 no. AL 0.400 - 110 hp Locomotive Wiki. The last Garratt built by. 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. Challenger #3985 was the largest operational steam locomotive in the world until the restoration of UP 4014. [17] There is also a G 2x 2/2 0-4-4-0 No.105 built by Maschinenfabrik Karlsruhe. 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). [2], On the Avontuur Railway, these locomotives were used as tank-and-tender Garratts, but when the Langkloof members of the class were transferred to Natal in 1964, the water tenders were dispensed with since watering points were much closer together in Natal as a consequence of the early use of tank engines on those narrow-gauge branches. We will launch the first 20 of the re-issued Steam Railbus at EXPO NARROW GAUGE at Swanley on Oct 27th, 2007. Mallet proposed cross-compounding in which a conventional steam locomotive configuration would have one high-pressure cylinder and one low-pressure cylinder. 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 new locomotives were therefore delivered directly to the SAR in 1958. NG141 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 NG15 Class Unrestored. The truck could therefore turn into a curve and move to some extent laterally. Three Mallets ran in Australia, including one on the Magnet Tramway in Tasmania. "Union Pacific Big Boy", an example of a simple Mallet. 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. 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. 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. Engine units sent with 156 to Ixopo. [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. 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. Several others followed for railways in mainland Europe. Mallet designs were popular in Hungary, too. Some other diesel locomotives (typically shunters) are available and operated in Sri Lanka other than the locomotives and shunters owned by Sri Lanka Railways. [, Entered service as "406". These three locomotives were not superheated. Back in operation as of February 2020. [5][7], The Garratt design has some inherent drawbacks, however, the first being a diminishing factor of adhesion over long distances. 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. Entered service in plain black livery in 1998, but was due for boiler recertification in 2009. [2][3][11], Of the first three locomotives, only no. 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. The following locomotives are normally Ffestiniog Railway stock that have run on the WHR. NG55 at Ixopo, KwaZulu-Natal, 4 June 2005, The compact Walschaerts valve gear on NG G11 no. The two locomotives which received this treatment, no. One class P1 locomotive was at Viharamahadevi (Victoria) Amusement Park[14], S1S8 Diesel Hydraulic Multiple Units, S9S14, S14A Diesel Electric & Electro-Diesel Multiple Units. 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. [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. 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. Notable locomotives was the last remaining Australian Standard Garratt and the narrow gauge Clyde-GM G-8 numbered D1. England The model represents the Garratt locomotives presently running on the Welsh Highland Railway. Mallets were employed in Brazilian 1,000mm (3ft3+38in) metre gauge, tight-radius railroads. Hitachi Tourist excursion train. 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. Almost identical to, A small Simplex locomotive loaned to the WHR by Innogy that has been used on construction trains, particularly on the. 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. The various Railbus units that are currently operated are not listed below. For the first time since arriving in Aberystwyth, Garratt NGG13 No. [, Entered service as "408". These were used in helper service in the Rockies and Selkirks. Captions 26, 32. [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. 4014 is the largest, heaviest, and most powerful operational steam locomotive in the world.
