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. Transferred to Dinas by road early September 2008. Remaining large components re-assembled using 116 boiler for static display at Ixopo by January 2019. Both modified locomotives were reclassified to Class NG G16A. All but one remained there for the rest of their service lives until withdrawal by 1962. [13] and included one locomotive experimentally converted to electric traction. G41 was put to work on the Colac to Beach Forest and Crowes line in the states (Victoria) south-west. [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. This type is generally regarded as the largest steam locomotive in the world. Diesel locomotives of Sri Lanka Railway are categorized into several classes and their sub classes. Not to be confused with the steam locomotive E1, this electric locomotive is not in commercial use. An additional "simple" (as opposed to compound) unit with road #1955 featuring the same arrangement was also produced. NG51 later. [12] Completion of no. In 2010, the carriage was named 'Glaslyn' by Queen Elizabeth II at a ceremony at Dinas station. By 1892 110 Mallets were at work, of which 24 were standard gauge; by 1900 there were nearly 400, of which 218 were on standard gauge or Russian gauge (1,520mm (.mw-parser-output .frac{white-space:nowrap}.mw-parser-output .frac .num,.mw-parser-output .frac .den{font-size:80%;line-height:0;vertical-align:super}.mw-parser-output .frac .den{vertical-align:sub}.mw-parser-output .sr-only{border:0;clip:rect(0,0,0,0);height:1px;margin:-1px;overflow:hidden;padding:0;position:absolute;width:1px}4ft11+2732in)). Numbers 1 and 2: 2-6-0/0-6-2 Beyer Peacock Garratt acquired new in 1936/38. [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. 473 East Broad Top Railroad No. 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. [17] There is also a G 2x 2/2 0-4-4-0 No.105 built by Maschinenfabrik Karlsruhe. Hitachi Tourist excursion train. Spent much of its working life in South Africa until it was replaced by diesel traction. Various other liveries also exist. 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. - last, Entered service as "407". 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. At 56 tonnes this locomotive was one of the largest steam metre gauge locos ever built in Europe. 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. Now in service. 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. [, Worked to Quorn. The run to Devil's Bridge was part of testing at the narrow-gauge railway, which runs for 11 34 miles whilst visiting 9 stations and halts. Built in 1926, the Garratt locos almost had the tractive effort of a K Class, on a narrow gauge line. NG129's restoration was planned to coincide with the next time that no. In 2010 it was acquired by Sandstone Estates. 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. They were the first Garratt locomotives to enter service in South Africa. Their engine numbers, builders, years built and works numbers are listed in Table II. 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 this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. 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. Scrap condition. 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. 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. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2980, Beyer Peacock builders No.7629. 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. But unlike the CC 50 class, all of the CC 10s & DD 50 -52s was sadly cut up for scrap. Sold to the Puffing Billy Railway by ACR shareholder Peter Newton in 1996. Photo credit: David Benn section of surviving Narrow Gauge Garratt locomotives in the world. Typically they feature horizontal bands of colour running their entire length and a solid colour on the front and back ends. is now at Paton County Narrow Gauge Railway .

On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. 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. Scrapped at Paddock, South Africa September 2017. My model of these very attractive Garratt locomotives is Peter Angus works No.119, and is built to the scale of 16mm to the foot for operation on 45mm track. [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. Ex South African Railways NGG16 Class Garratt, green livery. 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. NG51 was put on trials on the Avontuur line in May 1920. Weighing 71.25 tons, they were initially used on the main quarry line until replaced by the diesel, later being used as shunters. 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. Re-entered service in October 2022 after overhaul and the fitting of a Hunslet built boiler shipped from Australia ex 129. [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. To accommodate the pivoting, the steam and exhaust pipes have flexible connections between the engine units and the central cradle. The last known fate of all the Class NG G16 locomotives, as of October 25th 2022, are shown in Table I. This 335hp diesel hydraulic locomotive was built for work in a diamond mine and was later used for cement traffic at Port Elizabeth, South Africa. After several years on light duties a new engine was fitted in October 1999. In 1989 and 1990 two of these locomotives were rebuilt to Class NG G16A by the Alfred County Railway. NG113 and Hunslet-Taylor-built no. gauge lines of the Bengal Nagpur Railway in India. A replica of an 1894 "Ashbury" NWNGR "Summer Coach". Used also on civil engineering rosters. 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. Withdrawn from service in 2020, awaiting a replacement boiler for a new ten year ticket. 229, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mallet_locomotive&oldid=1141931372, Short description is different from Wikidata, Articles with unsourced statements from October 2022, Articles needing additional references from October 2022, All articles needing additional references, Articles with unsourced statements from September 2022, Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License 3.0. all the locomotive weight would be adhesive, yet there would be great flexibility of the locomotive as a vehicle; A simple type of very powerful locomotive would be created. [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. Several Mallets have been preserved, some in operational condition. The model represents the Garratt locomotives presently running on the Welsh Highland Railway. "Union Pacific Big Boy", an example of a simple Mallet. [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. Locomotive is for sale. [13] This gave them a second almost-complete Class NG G16 which will possibly also be totally rebuilt in the future. Narrow Gauge 400 class-class 4-8-2+2-8-4 Garratt locomotives 400 class 400 to 409 Jump to: 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.

However this limited cater locomotives from SLR for some services. The following locomotives are normally Ffestiniog Railway stock that have run on the WHR. Locomotive is for sale. Overhaul to operating condition stopped due to several factors. [3][4], Media related to South African Class NG G16 (2-6-2+2-6-2) at Wikimedia Commons. These three locomotives were not superheated. [5], The same problem also existed on Cape gauge light-rail single-line track where train lengths would be limited because conventional locomotives had been enlarged to the limit of their possible power due to restrictions on axle loading. [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. This created the risk of the locomotive tilting over on tight curves. 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. Only the boiler cradle and cab are today genuine 156. [1][9], One visible difference between the original and the rebuilt locomotives is the megaphone-shaped Lempor chimney, which contains a cylindrical mixing chamber and a wide angled diffuser.

The following locomotives are normally Ffestiniog Railway stock that have run on the WHR. 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. 482 Rio Grande No. Not in operation and the power cars were scrapped. These two were superheated and, as a result, had longer smokeboxes and were 9+12 inches (241 millimetres) longer in overall length. The Class NG G16 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. [, Entered service as "404". 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. 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. In the Dutch East Indies, now the Republic of Indonesia, several types and sizes remained in use into the 1980s. 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. They weighed 760,000 to 772,000lb (345,000 to 350,000kg) with a 434,000lb (197,000kg) tender; at 133 feet (40.54m) long (including the tender), they could only be turned on a few of the system's turntables. Similar to 2090. 729 ex demonstrator, ran as DR V150.001; imported 1970. NG141 achieved a fuel saving of 25% compared to a standard Class NG G16 Garratt, a performance which was easily maintained in regular service. The mill gave it the number 9 and used it to work sugar cane wagons in Innisfail district of Far North Queensland. Produced in the CPR's Angus shops, road numbers 1950 to 1954 were outshopped between 1909 and 1911. Also common for many locomotives is a livery of horizontal bands of green, brown, and a yellow stripe. Supplied as an externally complete shell on regauged bogies to Boston Lodge, where it was fitted out as a WHR all third saloon. NG55 was stored in the open at Ixopo awaiting extensive boiler repairs. [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. Sub class M10A was introduced in 2013 which is a technical variant. Initially outshopped in photographic grey livery on completion in 2009 and was then painted into midnight blue livery from March 2010. [3], The London and North Western Railway locomotive engineer F W Webb adopted the idea and converted some existing locomotives in 1879, followed by de Glehn and others in the 1880s and several American engineers in the 1890s which included some vertical boiler railcar applications. 15 Jones & Laughlin Steel No. The Afrikaans spelling conventions were changed from time to time in the early years.
