It initially remained there after the trials, while the other two went to the Stuartstown line in Natal, to be joined there by no. NG51, c. 1919, NG G11 no. It was still at Sandstone in July 2017, stored indoors in reasonable condition awaiting a THF decision on whether to leave it at Sandstone or return it to Humewood Road. [, Entered service as "403". 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. Mallet development culminated in 1941 with the 4-8-8-4 Big Boy type on the Union Pacific railroad. G42 was to be withdrawn for major maintenance. 143 is one of four Beyer-Garratt NGG16 (2-6-2 + 2-6-2T) locomotives, formerly from South Africa, that provide the power for the new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. History [ edit] An additional "simple" (as opposed to compound) unit with road #1955 featuring the same arrangement was also produced. Narrow Gauge Garratt locomotives Herbert Garratt - and his Sandstone locomotives An iconic Sandstone scene. Both modified locomotives were reclassified to Class NG G16A. [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. Soul of A Railway, System 3: Cape Midland, based in Port Elizabeth, Part 4: Loerie to Assegaaibos. 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). It is currently in active service, and a spare boiler is being overhauled for it ahead of a planned overhaul in 2021/22. [1][2], The success of the Class NG G13 narrow gauge Garratts that were introduced by the South African Railways (SAR) in 1927 led to a decision that any additional narrow gauge articulated locomotives would be of the same design. Collector's Series These kits are faithful depictions of classic narrow gauge designs, covering prototypes from 1'11" gauge (60cm) to 2'6". 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. [1][2][3][6], The fourth batch of seven locomotives, numbered in the range from NG137 to NG143, were the last steam locomotives to be built by Beyer, Peacock and were built to the specifications of the Tsumeb Copper Corporation in South West Africa (SWA). In 2010, the carriage was named 'Glaslyn' by Queen Elizabeth II at a ceremony at Dinas station. 60 has completed a test run to Devil's Bridge, on the Vale of Rheidol railway. 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. With the FR-WHR link now open, FR locos visit fairly regularly on special services. NG155 in 1990, were reclassified to Class NG G16A. Sri Lanka's locomotives have appeared in several different liveries over the years. Replacement for 2115 which is in need of an overhaul. [, Worked to Quorn. First to be acquired was the Hanomag G 2x 3/3 0-6-6-0 No104. 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. "Societe Franco-Belge De Materiel Des Chemins De Fer Raismes, France" built 4-8-2+2-8-4 type narrow gauge Garratt steam locomotive. NG55 at Ixopo, KwaZulu-Natal, 4 June 2005, The compact Walschaerts valve gear on NG G11 no. Purchased in summer 2009 for use on works trains from a private buyer. Lease lend to the Apple Express Organization. Main Page; All Pages; Community; . Three Mallets ran in Australia, including one on the Magnet Tramway in Tasmania. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". The final loco, Chesapeake and Ohio 1309, is preserved on the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad. Caption 4. The two locomotives which received this treatment, no. Updated * 04-01-2008. . 346 Rio Grande No. [citation needed]. This created the risk of the locomotive tilting over on tight curves. MV 401[hu] was a (1B)B locomotive in service between 19051969 and MV 651[hu] 0-6-6-0 until 1962. A number of Mallets were constructed for the Nordhausen Wernigerode Eisenbahn, now part of the Harz Narrow Gauge Railways system in Germany. Power cars are single-ended locomotives without passenger interiors. [1][2][3], The system of grouping narrow-gauge locomotives into classes was only adopted by the SAR somewhere between 1928 and 1930. Scrapped at Paddock, South Africa August 2017. Similar to 2100, built at Boston Lodge. "Union Pacific Big Boy", an example of a simple Mallet. Their engine numbers, builders, years built and works numbers are listed in Table II. Located in the former Humewood Road (Port Elizabeth) Narrow Gauge diesel depot in good external condition. Ex South African Railways NG15 Class Unrestored. After several years on light duties a new engine was fitted in October 1999. Purchased in 2014 from Exmoor Steam Railway by Steam Powered Services and currently owned by Peter Best. Chesapeake & Ohio 2-6-6-2 #1309, the last domestic steam locomotive built by Baldwin, was scheduled for restoration in September 2017. Similar to Carriage 2010.The first coach built for the Caernarfon service, delivered to. Only Garratt to get to Quorn [, Worked to Broken Hill. 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. Specifications: Scale: 1:19; Dual gauge: 32/45mm The Australian Standard Garratt (ASG) locomotive was designed by the Commonwealth Land Transport Board. Built by Baguley as a 2ft gauge locomotive with the builders number 2395. 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). In 1964 they were both transferred to the Avontuur line in exchange for two newer Class NG G13 locomotives. The last steam locomotive built for the South African Railways. All trailer coaches are Air-conditioned Chiar cars. 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. Constructed by Nippon Sharyo in Japan, they were the only Mallets built in Asia. The various Railbus units that are currently operated are not listed below.

Price: GBP80 plus GBP1.50 p+p in the UK. 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. [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. 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. 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. ucla prime cohort; h e b shortbread cookies. On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. [10] This system was abandoned in 1928,[10] with new locomotives being numbered from 249 upwards,[11] and reaching 336 by 1940, and 362 in 1951 when the last steam locomotive a 4-8-0 from WG Bagnall was delivered. Back in operation by April 2019 after a boiler retube. Both entered service in Natal. NG141 in 1989 and no. The mill gave it the number 9 and used it to work sugar cane wagons in Innisfail district of Far North Queensland. NG5 as yard shunter at Humewood Road. 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. It was one of seven 4-4-0 locomotives built that year for the Ceylon Government Railway by Robert Stephenson & Company (nos. These two were superheated and, as a result, had longer smokeboxes and were 9+12 inches (241 millimetres) longer in overall length. Heated and double glazed. The fact that they did not need to be run through to terminals to be turned around also made increased operational flexibility possible. [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. 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. [2], The Cockerill locomotives, numbers NG85 to NG88, remained in Natal for most of their service lives. Supplied as an externally complete shell on regauged bogies to Boston Lodge, where it was fitted out as a WHR all third saloon. The South African built 16A power units were cut up at Paddock October 2017. WO6E1- 120 hp Mallet designs were popular in Hungary, too. Moved from Paddock to Ixopo by December 2015 with the power units off 149. 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. Coal fired. Mallet proposed cross-compounding in which a conventional steam locomotive configuration would have one high-pressure cylinder and one low-pressure cylinder. NG141 achieved a fuel saving of 25% compared to a standard Class NG G16 Garratt, a performance which was easily maintained in regular service. is now at Paton County Narrow Gauge Railway . Arrived ex ship "Belnor". Weighing 71.25 tons, they were initially used on the main quarry line until replaced by the diesel, later being used as shunters. In September 2018, Sri Lankan Railway ordered 160 passenger coaches from India under $318M line of credit given by India. [9] Only ten (of 25 originally ordered) were built before the order was cancelled, the last delivered in September 1949. Transferred to Dinas by road early September 2008. [3][4], Media related to South African Class NG G16 (2-6-2+2-6-2) at Wikimedia Commons. Funded by the WHR Society. Like the Class 26, 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. Transferred Dinas, in August 1997 for use on reconstruction work. On loan to Statfold Barn 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. [8] The AT&SF also had a number of compound 2-10-10-2's, assembled in their own shops from existing 2-10-2's using a kit, supplied by Baldwin, consisting of the front 10-wheel frame and a boiler extension. 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. Back in operation as of February 2020. 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.
