The fact that they did not need to be run through to terminals to be turned around also made increased operational flexibility possible. [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. Note piston valves on high-pressure cylinders and slide valves on low-pressure cylinders. All are diesel hydraulic type except DLW locomotive which is diesel electric. AL 0.400 - 110 hp [13], Both superheated locomotives still exist. The South African Railways Class NG G11 2-6-0+0-6-2 of 1919 was a narrow gauge steam locomotive. They were mechanically similar to the earlier and subsequent Class NG G16 locomotives, but with a revised coal and water carrying arrangement. [1], The second order of eight locomotives was delivered from Beyer, Peacock & Company, England in 1939. On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. Scrapped at Paddock, South Africa October 2017. 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. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". 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. The deal also included 20 container carriers and 30 fuel tank wagons. Trending pages Rio Grande No. Almost identical to, A small Simplex locomotive loaned to the WHR by Innogy that has been used on construction trains, particularly on the. [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. M6 ICE locomotives have a unique ICE livery of brown and orange. As of January 2023, No. 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. As a French-speaking Swiss, Mallet pronounced his name accordingly, something like "Ma-lay". "Union Pacific Big Boy", an example of a simple Mallet. NG55 entering Ixopo station, 3 September 2005. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". "[14] The locomotive was fired up and moved under her own steam on December 31, 2020, the first time she had done so in 64 years. 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. The exhaust steam from these cylinders was fed into a low-pressure receiver and was then sent to low-pressure cylinders that powered the driving wheels on the swiveling bogie towards the front of locomotive. 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? No 23 returned to FR service in 1955 and full doors fitted in 1966. The result is improved combustion, thereby minimising black smoke, which is evidence of incomplete combustion and unburnt coal particles being ejected through the exhaust. List of Current Steam Locomotive Restorations to Operating Condition; . 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.

Sri Lanka's locomotives have appeared in several different liveries over the years. The following locomotives are normally Ffestiniog Railway stock that have run on the WHR. [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. Alternative solutions would either be double-heading longer trains or re-building and re-aligning large parts of the lines to accommodate heavier locomotives. The two locomotives which received this treatment, no. We will launch the first 20 of the re-issued Steam Railbus at EXPO NARROW GAUGE at Swanley on Oct 27th, 2007. This page was last edited on 2 January 2023, at 00:53. Slightly shorter but even heavier and more powerful were 2-6-6-6s built by Lima for the C&O and the Virginian between 1941 and 1948, which weighed 778,000lb (353,000kg) and could produce up to 6,900 horsepower (5,100kW) at 45mph (72km/h). [citation needed]. The weight of the front part of the boiler was to be supported on an arc-shaped radial bearing. (Under licence to Beyer Peacock & Co. - Manchester, England), Entered service as "400". 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. [2] In 1953, the first locomotives from British builder Brush Bagnall were imported. These three locomotives were not superheated. [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. As of March 2022, Sri Lanka does not have commercially operational electric locomotives or train sets. [, Entered service as "401". 60 arrived via a low-loader back in July 2017 . [1], Ejector pump efficiency depends on the length-to-diameter ratio of the exhaust chimney. Soul of A Railway, System 3: Cape Midland, based in Port Elizabeth, Part 4: Loerie to Assegaaibos. Some are the locomotives owned by Sri Lanka Ports Authority and Holcim Sri Lanka limited. [, Entered service as "403". On cabside number plates, the spelling of the Afrikaans inscription was later altered with "AFRIKANSE" changed to "AFRIKAANSE" and with "SUID AFRIKAANSE SPOORWE" unhyphenated, and stil later to "SUID-AFRIKAANSE SPOORWE" hyphenated.

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. Scrapped at Paddock, South Africa September 2017. 58 Rio Grande No. In 1989 and 1990 two of these locomotives were rebuilt to Class NG G16A by the Alfred County Railway. [, Worked to Quorn. The first official train ran on April 30, 2017. Specifications: Scale: 1:19; Dual gauge: 32/45mm The front of the locomotive articulated on a bogie. A Garratt locomotive is a locomotive with two separate engine units, useful for pulling a lot on tracks with a small curve radius like narrow gauge tracks or Lego tracks. Sold to Welshpool and Llanfair Railway in 1962 and to the Ffestiniog Railway in 1968 and re-gauged. [1][5], Unlike tender locomotives, Garratts are bi-directional, which eliminates the need for turntables or triangles, also known as wyes. NG55 was stored in the open at Ixopo awaiting extensive boiler repairs. [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. In the Dutch East Indies, now the Republic of Indonesia, several types and sizes remained in use into the 1980s. Garratts may not be nearly as big as Big Boys, Yellowstones, Alleghenys, etc. 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. This model is based on the beautiful South African NG G13 locomotive. [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. G42 was to be withdrawn for major maintenance. Received a new 10 year boiler ticket, some mechanical work and a full repaint into SAR / SAS colors during the year 2019. 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. 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. 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]. This page was last edited on 4 August 2022, at 12:33. Either method was expensive and, in such conditions, the Garratt design had distinct advantages. The truck could therefore turn into a curve and move to some extent laterally. Running numbers 99 5901-3 and 99 5906 are in working order. Mallets were employed in Brazilian 1,000mm (3ft3+38in) metre gauge, tight-radius railroads. 0-4-4-0 metre gauge Mallet built by Maschinenbau-Gesellschaft Karlsruhe, operated commercially by the Zell im WiesentalTodtnau railway and as of 2021 preserved and still operating at the BlonayChamby museum railway. 23, re-establishing the division between FR and WHR stock in the combined stock list. [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). Similar to 2090. [citation needed]. Sub-classification was based on weight, modifications, heating type, boiler capacity, or other features. On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. 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. 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. Back in operation as of February 2020. In the UK, Bagnalls built a number of 'Modified Meyers' for the narrow gauge, the last of them, 'Monarch' (762mm, 2' 6" gauge), is preserved on the Welshpool and Llanfair Railway in Wales, James Waite photographed it on display at Welshpool in September 2009. . Under construction at Boston Lodge. Imported in two variants, one for run on commuter services and other run on long distance services. Funded by the WHR Society. On loan to Statfold Barn Railway. [, Entered service as "409". Produced in the CPR's Angus shops, road numbers 1950 to 1954 were outshopped between 1909 and 1911. [2][4], These pre-war locomotives, like the earlier Class NG G13 locomotives, were built with riveted coal and water bunkers and with elliptical tops on the water tanks. The air inlets contain swirl inducers to spread the incoming air inside the firebox. Both modified locomotives were reclassified to Class NG G16A. But unlike the CC 50 class, all of the CC 10s & DD 50 -52s was sadly cut up for scrap. Compounding was proposed by the British engineer Jonathan Hornblower in 1781. However this limited cater locomotives from SLR for some services. 486 Rio Grande No. Another 2 WDG4D locomotives are to be arrived. Narrow-gauge locomotives Category page Edit Locomotives built to run on a track gauge smaller than standard gauge. Porta. 7. Steam locomotives are no longer used, except on heritage trains, such as the Viceroy Special. Ownership transferred to Paddock Motors (Derick Classen) after a court case to resolve unpaid storage fees. By about 1920, the U.S. version of the Mallet as a huge slow-speed pusher had reached a plateau; the size of the low-pressure cylinders became a limiting factor even on the large loading gauge permitted in the U.S., and reciprocating masses posed serious dynamic problems above walking pace. [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. South African Railways and Harbours Narrow Gauge Locomotive Diagram Book, 2'0" Gauge, S.A.R. [10] The 1309 was also the last steam locomotive that Baldwin built for the North American market. 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. In 1884, he proposed compounding combined with articulation; on lightly engineered secondary lines this could give greater power to locomotives whose axle load and size were limited. [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. The final loco, Chesapeake and Ohio 1309, is preserved on the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad. Underwent a major restoration at Boston Lodge Works. [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. Several re-furbished and in operation. 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. 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. Several Mallets have been preserved, some in operational condition. NG141 achieved a fuel saving of 25% compared to a standard Class NG G16 Garratt, a performance which was easily maintained in regular service. It is currently in active service, and a spare boiler is being overhauled for it ahead of a planned overhaul in 2021/22. All operational locomotives in the country today are broad gauge. The BlonayChamby museum railway has two Mallets. Remaining large components re-assembled using 116 boiler for static display at Ixopo by January 2019. [citation needed]. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2977, Beyer Peacock builders No.7626. G42 was located on the Moe to Walhalla line in the states south-east. 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. Diesel locomotives and multiple unit numbering started from 500 - an Armstrong Whitworth 122 hp 0-4-0 diesel-electric shunter delivered in 1934 [12] - and reached 840 in 1991. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2982, Beyer Peacock builders No.7631.

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. [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 Chesapeake and Ohio Railway introduced 25 simple (non-compound expansion) 2-8-8-2 locomotives in 1924 and 20 more in 1926. renato's palm beach happy hour Uncovering hot babes since 1919. [3][14], Beyer, Peacock and Company works picture of no. 15) and Beyer, Peacock & Company (nos. The ACR was also known as the Banana Express from the tourism part of its operation. In 2004 the locomotive was purchased by a member of the Lynton & Barnstaple Trust, who shipped it from Australia in 2005. NG51 was later returned to the Avontuur line to replace the retiring Class NG3 no. Scrap condition. [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. 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. 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. 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. In September 2018, Sri Lankan Railway ordered 160 passenger coaches from India under $318M line of credit given by India. Superheating also required alteration of the valve gear and piston valves were therefore used instead of slide valves. Similar to Carriage 2010.The first coach built for the Caernarfon service, delivered to. A replica of an 1894 "Ashbury" NWNGR "Summer Coach". [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. One, no. The exhaust steam from these cylinders was fed into a . Mechanical Dept. The single surviving example of a cab-forward Mallet is Southern Pacific 4294, on display at the California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento, California. Transferred Dinas, in August 1997 for use on reconstruction work. Overhaul to operating condition stopped due to several factors. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2975, Beyer Peacock builders No.7624. The South African Railways Class NG G16 2-6-2+2-6-2 was a narrow gauge steam locomotive. [2][9][10], The first three locomotives were all working in Natal soon after entering service. 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. These locomotives had an enlarged front water tank capacity, but carried no water in their rear bunkers which consequently had a larger coal capacity. ABPF-SC (Brazilian Association for Railroad Preservation Santa Catarina branch) has restored a 2-6-6-2 Mallet to working order. G41 was put to work on the Colac to Beach Forest and Crowes line in the states (Victoria) south-west. After first being steamed in September 2019 129, in November 2019 it underwent light engine and load testing.[14][15]. Extensive gallery of narrow gauge railway photos. Only Garratt to do so. By 2011 it was being restored and rebuilt in Bloemfontein. whilst the power units have been rebuilt at Dinas. [2][3][11], Of the first three locomotives, only no. [11], The two locomotives of the second order also served in Natal, ending up working on the branch from Estcourt to Weenen. Spent much of its working life in South Africa until it was replaced by diesel traction. 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. NG52 still exists. Not in operation and the power cars were scrapped. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". 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. In 1962, the Indonesian state railways DKA ordered a series of 0-4-4-2s, basically an updated version of the earlier Dutch design, for the old Atjeh (now Aceh) tramway. On a Garratt, the boiler could literally be dimensioned up to the full cross section of the loading gauge. Narrow Gauge - Garratt Locomotives - NGG11 - 51 to NGG16 - 116 Pictures and Information Page 1. 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 .
