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)). NG141 achieved a fuel saving of 25% compared to a standard Class NG G16 Garratt, a performance which was easily maintained in regular service. [, Entered service as "408". 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). Norfolk & Western 2156 is the sole surviving Y6a, preserved at the National Museum of Transportation in St. Louis. 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). 15) and Beyer, Peacock & Company (nos. [13], Both superheated locomotives still exist. As a result, no NG51 was officially retired by July 1962. The South African Railways Class NG G11 2-6-0+0-6-2 of 1919 was a narrow gauge steam locomotive. It was one of seven 4-4-0 locomotives built that year for the Ceylon Government Railway by Robert Stephenson & Company (nos. Power cars are single-ended locomotives without passenger interiors. Mechanical Dept. Captions 26, 32. Their engine numbers, builders, years built and works numbers are listed in Table II. D&RGW Railroad Steam Locomotive No. Since then, the Railways have imported locomotives from Canada, Japan, West Germany, India, France, and China[6][7][8]. With the introduction of diesel locomotives, coloured liveries appeared. 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. In 2010, the carriage was named 'Glaslyn' by Queen Elizabeth II at a ceremony at Dinas station. by two ordinary steam locomotives. No. [9][10], In comparative testing, no. 486 Rio Grande No. 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. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". ucla prime cohort; h e b shortbread cookies. 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. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". Steam under pressure is converted into mechanical energy more efficiently if it is used in a compound engine; in such an engine steam from a boiler is used in high-pressure (HP) cylinders and then under reduced pressure in a second set of cylinders. 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. [9][10], The GPCS relies on the gasification of coal on a low temperature firebed so that the gases are then fully burnt above the firebed. Ex South African Railways NGG16 Class Garratt, green livery. We would like to show you a description here but the site won't allow us. 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. Transferred to Dinas by road early September 2008. Several others followed for railways in mainland Europe. The cabs of the second order locomotives were also improved to offer better protection to the crew. These are Cockerill-built no. We will launch the first 20 of the re-issued Steam Railbus at EXPO NARROW GAUGE at Swanley on Oct 27th, 2007. Either method was expensive and, in such conditions, the Garratt design had distinct advantages. At 56 tonnes this locomotive was one of the largest steam metre gauge locos ever built in Europe. The work was carried out at Port Shepstone. "The Ultimate Steam Page P. Girdlestone", "Alfred County Railway 2-6-2+2-6-2 NG G16A Garratts 141 & 155", Australian Railway Historical Society Bulletin, South African locomotive numbering and classification, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=South_African_Class_NG_G16_2-6-2%2B2-6-2&oldid=1130989940, Preserved narrow gauge steam locomotives of Great Britain, Short description is different from Wikidata, Use South African English from November 2013, All Wikipedia articles written in South African English, Articles with unsourced statements from April 2021, Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License 3.0, NG85-NG88, NG109-NG116, NG125-NG131, NG137-NG143, NG149-NG156. Mallet proposed cross-compounding in which a conventional steam locomotive configuration would have one high-pressure cylinder and one low-pressure cylinder. In 2009 the loco was displayed in Caernarfon town square to collect donations for the restoration of its sister loco, number 134. On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. The first official train ran on April 30, 2017. The strongest Mallet locomotives in Europe were the members of the MV 601 which was built for the Hungarian State Railways, it was a 2-6-6-0 locomotive. As of January 2023, No. 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 1937 and 1968 the South African Railways placed 34 Class NG G16 2-6-2+2-6-2 Garratt articulated steam locomotives in service. It is believed to have been stored in Essex and in Somerset before being moved to the Exmoor Steam Railway. Power car is a single-ended locomotive without passenger interiors. [citation needed]. On December 17, 2021, C&O 1309 (now WMSR 1309) entered excursion service on the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad. [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. [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. G42 was located on the Moe to Walhalla line in the states south-east. Operated mainly on the broad gauged. 30 of MV 422[hu] 0-4-4-0 were built between 18981902 (the last one served until 1958). Built by Baguley as a 2ft gauge locomotive with the builders number 2395. [2] Since then, various types of diesel locomotives were added to the service. These three locomotives were not superheated. Price: GBP80 plus GBP1.50 p+p in the UK. In 1964 they were both transferred to the Avontuur line in exchange for two newer Class NG G13 locomotives. The exhaust steam from these cylinders was fed into a . Transferred to Dinas in March by rail using the CTRL. 7. [3] Manufacturer [ edit] Became Ffestiniog Railway property (in exchange for three bogie wagons) in 1926. Entered service in 1997 in unlined dark green, then malachite green as of 2002 when it was named, withdrawn in late 2007 and stripped for 10 year boiler inspection. 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. Purchased from Exmoor Steam Centre, who imported it to the UK. Three Mallets ran in Australia, including one on the Magnet Tramway in Tasmania. [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. Three of their Class NG G16 locomotives are homed here, and are regularly run during the Estate's annual events like the Cosmos Festival, Cherry Festival, Stars of Sandstone and others. Whereafter replacement locomotives were given the same number as the locomotive that they replaced with an "R" prefix; until such time as the old locomotive, now running with an "O" prefix, was finally withdrawn. A number of Mallets were constructed for the Nordhausen Wernigerode Eisenbahn, now part of the Harz Narrow Gauge Railways system in Germany. 491 is the largest operating narrow gauge steam locomotive in the western hemisphere. 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). [citation needed], The Welsh Highland Railway in Wales has five Class NG G16 locomotives. "New as they were, the last C&O steam engines never got adequate maintenance, lengthening the list of work needed to bring 1309 back to life. Only Garratt to get to Quorn [, Worked to Broken Hill. [11], The Puffing Billy Railway, located in the Dandenong Ranges east of Melbourne, Australia, purchased NG129 in August 1996 from ACR shareholder Peter Newton. The Afrikaans spelling conventions were changed from time to time in the early years. Built in 1967 and 1968, these locomotives had the same enlarged capacity front water tanks as those of the Tsumeb group, but their rear bunkers were identical to those of the 1951 batch of locomotives and carried both coal and water. 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. Other basic elements of the locomotive remained more or less the same. Coal fired. Class of South African 26-2+2-6-2 Garratt locomotives, South African Railways and Harbours Locomotive Diagram Book, 2'0" & 3'6" Gauge Steam Locomotives, 15 August 1941, as amended, Rebuilt Garratt undertakes its first Australian run, SATS / Transnet NG/G16 Garratt Fleet Disposal, Stars of Sandstone, Official Operating Programme for 12th - 21st April 2014. Most narrow gauge Garratt classes seem to have had lower axle loadings than this, though South Africa and the then-British colonies of East Africa had very big power on 3'6" and meter-gauge track. Superheating also required alteration of the valve gear and piston valves were therefore used instead of slide valves. 141 in 1989. Mallet development culminated in 1941 with the 4-8-8-4 Big Boy type on the Union Pacific railroad. The new locomotives were therefore delivered directly to the SAR in 1958. [1][5], Unlike tender locomotives, Garratts are bi-directional, which eliminates the need for turntables or triangles, also known as wyes. NG155 in 1990, were reclassified to Class NG G16A. [2][3], Another drawback is the risk of tilting. Power cars are single-ended locomotives without passenger interiors. Note piston valves on high-pressure cylinders and slide valves on low-pressure cylinders. Smaller Mallets were used by plantations and other industries, all of the 0-4-4-0 type. [4] [14] 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. [3][4], Media related to South African Class NG G16 (2-6-2+2-6-2) at Wikimedia Commons. [. The weight of the front part of the boiler was to be supported on an arc-shaped radial bearing. Withdrawn from service in 2020, awaiting a replacement boiler for a new ten year ticket. In the 1990s, Sri Lanka Railways converted the narrow gauge (2ft6in (762mm)) Kelani Valley line into 5ft6in (1,676mm) broad gauge. [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. Ten-yearly overhaul was completed in 2020, with the locomotive now painted in South African Railways black with SAR/SAS logo on the coal bunker. The air inlets contain swirl inducers to spread the incoming air inside the firebox. 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. Alternative solutions would either be double-heading longer trains or re-building and re-aligning large parts of the lines to accommodate heavier locomotives. By July 2017 no. 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. [citation needed]. [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. [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. Having first moved under its own steam on 5 February 2021,[4] the locomotive hauled its first (private) passenger train on 30 April 2021. The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway introduced 25 simple (non-compound expansion) 2-8-8-2 locomotives in 1924 and 20 more in 1926. [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. A third stage (triple expansion) may be employed. South African Railways and Harbours Narrow Gauge Locomotive Diagram Book, 2'0" Gauge, S.A.R. Funded by the WHR Society. The units were unpopular with crews owing to frequent steam leakages and derailments resulting from the lack of pilot wheels. As water and coal is consumed, the weight over the coupled wheels is reduced, thereby reducing their factor of adhesion, the ratio of weight on coupled wheels to tractive effort. The last Garratt built by. Similar to 2090. 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. Sold to the Puffing Billy Railway by ACR shareholder Peter Newton in 1996. Lease lend to the Apple Express Organization. A dedicated carriage containing toilet, guard's office and buffet store, similar to Carriage 124 on the Ffestiniog Railway. This page was last edited on 4 August 2022, at 12:33. 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. When fleets of such locomotives appeared in the middle 1920s the trade press called them "Simple Mallets" i.e., simple locomotives articulated like Mallets. 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. All three, numbered in the range from NG51 to NG53, were erected at the Uitenhage workshops and no. 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. Converted steam rail car in 1950.

[2][9][10], The first three locomotives were all working in Natal soon after entering service. [5], On a Garratt locomotive, the shared boiler and cab are carried on a cradle frame which is suspended on pivot centres attached to the frames of the two engine units, which are both free to align itself to the track curvature. Steam locomotives were numbered from 1 upwards, reaching 161 in 1911. NG52 still exists. NG51 later. They had flat-topped water tanks with rounded top side edges, and were the first NGG16s to have welded tanks. 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. On display in good cosmetic condition, on loan from Sandstone Estates. On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. 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. 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], 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. Scrapped by the THF at Humewood Road, Port Elizabeth, South Africa August 2011. Funded by WHR Society. The South African built 16A power units were cut up at Paddock October 2017. The largest compound Mallets were ten 2-10-10-2s built for the Virginian by Alco in 1918; in pairs they pushed coal trains headed by a 2-8-8-2. Back in operation by April 2019 after a boiler retube. [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. NG55 entering Ixopo station, 3 September 2005. These narrow gauge Garratts had boilers of 4feet 2inches (1,270 millimetres) inside diameter on a frame width of about 6feet 10+12inches (2,096 millimetres). [12], The other two were scrapped after being retired from SAR service. Darjeeling Himalayan Railway D Class Beyer-Garratt The Australian Standard Garratt (ASG) locomotive was designed by the Commonwealth Land Transport Board. Purchased in 2014 from Exmoor Steam Railway by Steam Powered Services and currently owned by Peter Best. The two locomotives which received this treatment, no. [, Worked to Quorn. These U.S. locomotives were paralleled to some extent by heavy-haul versions in the USSR, though without any attempt at faster running. NG55 was restored to full working order also at Bloemfontein for the Patons Country Narrow Gauge Railway (PCNGR) at Ixopo in Natal by 2005. Locomotive has the NGG16A boiler unit but carried the standard British built unmodified power units off 142. Fitted with Pullman style armchairs. [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. 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. A development of carriages 2043, 2044 and 2045. Locomotives and train sets of Sri Lanka Railways consist mostly of diesel locomotives and multiple units. [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. 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. 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 Mallet locomotive is a type of articulated steam railway locomotive, invented by the Swiss engineer Anatole Mallet (18371919). [, Entered service as "403". 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. [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. In 2010 it was acquired by Sandstone Estates. 482 Rio Grande No. With each set of cylinders and coupled wheels constituting a separate engine, the end result was two locomotives in one, with one huge shared boiler which needed only one crew. 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. It was to become the first Garratt to enter SAR service. 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. [3], Mallet found typical main line railways were unwilling to adopt his ideas. This page was last edited on 21 April 2022, at 19:32. The first locomotive to undergo the treatment was the Beyer, Peacock-built no. 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. 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][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. Therefore, as the weight on the coupled wheels decreases, the locomotive has less adhesion and becomes increasingly prone to slipping. 4014 is the largest, heaviest, and most powerful operational steam locomotive in the world. The use of a Garratt locomotive enables the capacity of a line to be approximately doubled without having to strengthen the track, bridges and culverts, or re-align the curvature. [5][7], The Garratt design has some inherent drawbacks, however, the first being a diminishing factor of adhesion over long distances. The term "Mallet" continued to be widely used for simple as well as compound locomotives. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". 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. The various Railbus units that are currently operated are not listed below. One class P1 locomotive was at Viharamahadevi (Victoria) Amusement Park[14], S1S8 Diesel Hydraulic Multiple Units, S9S14, S14A Diesel Electric & Electro-Diesel Multiple Units. [2], The Cockerill locomotives, numbers NG85 to NG88, remained in Natal for most of their service lives. [3], Although they had already been ordered in 1914, production was disrupted by the First World War. The fact that they did not need to be run through to terminals to be turned around also made increased operational flexibility possible. [1][8], The rebuilding was done by mechanical engineer Phil Girdlestone, who was employed as Chief Mechanical Engineer of the ACR primarily for this purpose. 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. It was in service until 1979, and as of September 2021 is still under restoration. This 180hp Gardner 6LXB diesel-engined locomotive was built for R.N. For all narrow gauge (3ft 6in/1067mm) steam locomotives. 729 ex demonstrator, ran as DR V150.001; imported 1970. These were used in helper service in the Rockies and Selkirks. 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. Scrapped at Paddock, South Africa October 2017. Spent much of its working life in South Africa until it was replaced by diesel traction. 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. 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. Sold to Sandstone in 2002. 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. - last, Entered service as "407". Vaughan, then Chief Mechanical Officer and Assistant to the CPR Vice-President. One Mallet ran in New Zealand, and is preserved at Glenbrook Vintage Railway, Auckland. (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 . Soul of A Railway, System 3: Cape Midland, based in Port Elizabeth, Part 4: Loerie to Assegaaibos. 20 All items (468) # A B C D E [2] In 1953, the first locomotives from British builder Brush Bagnall were imported. Only 3 CC50 engines survived. [1], The modifications were similar in scope to that of the Red Devil, although not as extensive. Refurbished in 2002 and returned to the WHR.
