narrow gauge garratt locomotives

NG129's restoration was planned to coincide with the next time that no. is now at Paton County Narrow Gauge Railway . Although it had found early favor in Europe, especially on lightly engineered railways, the Mallet type was generally superseded by the Garratt locomotive by the mid-1920s. With the introduction of diesel locomotives, coloured liveries appeared. Scrapped by the THF at Humewood Road, Port Elizabeth, South Africa August 2011. Various other liveries also exist. 15) and Beyer, Peacock & Company (nos. Alternative solutions would either be double-heading longer trains or re-building and re-aligning large parts of the lines to accommodate heavier locomotives. [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. Specifications: Scale: 1:19; Dual gauge: 32/45mm The Afrikaans spelling conventions were changed from time to time in the early years. Currently used as a mess coach on construction trains and as a reserve passenger brake vehicle. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". Converted steam rail car in 1950. NG51, c. 1919, NG G11 no. 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. M6 ICE locomotives have a unique ICE livery of brown and orange. Mallet development culminated in 1941 with the 4-8-8-4 Big Boy type on the Union Pacific railroad. Unrestored. 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. Scrapped at Paddock, South Africa September 2017. Similar to Carriage 2010.The first coach built for the Caernarfon service, delivered to. These locomotives were introduced in 1926 to increase train sizes and thus reduce losses on . Mallet designs were popular in Hungary, too. Withdrawn from service in 2020, awaiting a replacement boiler for a new ten year ticket. 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. 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. History [ edit] Diesel locomotives of Sri Lanka Railway are categorized into several classes and their sub classes. [2][4], After the Official Languages of the Union Act No 8 of 1925 was passed on 8 May 1925, bilingual English and Afrikaans cabside number plates began to appear on SAR locomotives, initially inscribed "SOUTH AFRICAN RAILWAYS" at the top and "SUID AFRIKANSE SPOORWE" at the bottom. 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. Several Mallets have been preserved, some in operational condition. 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). Not in operation and the power cars were scrapped. Sri Lanka's first railway locomotive was Leopold, in 1864. Two 2-8-8-4 examples built in Russia in 195455 were probably the last Mallets built in Europe.[3]. [6][7], 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. Updated * 04-01-2008. . 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. 486 Rio Grande No. [, Worked to Quorn. The last compound Mallets to remain in use on a major North American railroad were the N&W class Y6b 2-8-8-2 locomotives, retired in July 1959. 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. [5], The Railways upgraded its service to diesel locomotives, under the leadership of B. D. Rampala in the mid 1950s. Running numbers 99 5901-3 and 99 5906 are in working order. [2][3][7], However, while the locomotives were being built, the decision was made to convert all the SWA narrow gauge lines to Cape gauge. Photo credit: David Benn section of surviving Narrow Gauge Garratt locomotives in the world. Sitting in the comfort of one of the first-class Pullman carriages is surely one of the finest experiences in North Wales, as is the excitement of riding in one of the open carriages behind the world's most powerful narrow-gauge steam locomotives, the Beyer Garratt NG/G16. As the front truck cylinders were now using boiler pressure steam, special arrangements were necessary to deliver it, through the truck pivot pin where only radial movement took place. After first being steamed in September 2019 129, in November 2019 it underwent light engine and load testing.[14][15]. [, Entered service as "404". Water was carried in the front and rear tanks and also unusually, in a tank under the boiler. Scrap condition. The locomotive has a Gardner 8LW diesel engine de-rated to 132hp. It was built for the Drewry Car Co, for Underhill Day & Co, for the South Johnstone Co-operative Sugar Milling Association in Australia. Located in the former Humewood Road (Port Elizabeth) Narrow Gauge diesel depot in good external condition. 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. 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. The units were unpopular with crews owing to frequent steam leakages and derailments resulting from the lack of pilot wheels. 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. "Union Pacific Big Boy", an example of a simple Mallet. Now in service. Lease lend to the Apple Express Organization. NG141 in 1989 and no. The front of the locomotive articulated on a bogie. NG55 entering Ixopo station, 3 September 2005. England NG55, 4 June 2005, NG G11 no. This 180hp Gardner 6LXB diesel-engined locomotive was built for R.N. 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. Power cars are single-ended locomotives without passenger interiors. [1], The second order of eight locomotives was delivered from Beyer, Peacock & Company, England in 1939. This was the last locomotive built by Beyer, Peacock and Company in Manchester. [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. 141 achieved a fuel saving of 25% compared to a standard Class NG G16 Garratt, a performance which was easily maintained in regular service. All but one remained there for the rest of their service lives until withdrawal by 1962. 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. (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 . Ex-Chattenden and Upnor Railway coach acquired for the WHR from the South Tynedale Railway and regauged from 2ft 6in gauge. Soul of A Railway, System 3, Part 1: Cape Midland, based in Port Elizabeth, Part 1, The Port Elizabeth Narrow Gauge. [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. Transferred to Dinas in March by rail using the CTRL. This type is generally regarded as the largest steam locomotive in the world. The truck could therefore turn into a curve and move to some extent laterally. By July 2017 no. Built in 1926, the Garratt locos almost had the tractive effort of a K Class, on a narrow gauge line. One Mallet ran in New Zealand, and is preserved at Glenbrook Vintage Railway, Auckland. That proposal, however, never became reality since the line's farming produce traffic was gradually lost to road transport on the improving road network, a decline which eventually led to the ACR's demise. 346 Rio Grande No. [3][4], Media related to South African Class NG G16 (2-6-2+2-6-2) at Wikimedia Commons. Altogether 34 more 2-6-2+2-6-2 Double Prairie type narrow gauge locomotives were built, spread over five orders from three manufacturers over a span of 32 years. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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]. [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. A dedicated carriage containing toilet, guard's office and buffet store, similar to Carriage 124 on the Ffestiniog Railway. Several units out of service shortly after introduction due to cost of spares and repair. Withdrawn in 2020 for a ten-yearly overhaul. [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. [4][14], Steam locomotives were used on regular services until the 1970s.[2][4]. Operational after being overhauled in 2020. 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. Used also on civil engineering rosters. [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. Both modified locomotives were reclassified to Class NG G16A. 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. It was the first locomotive to be moved to Dinas, in January 1997. Sold to Sandstone in 2002. [, Entered service as "405". As of March 2022, Sri Lanka does not have commercially operational electric locomotives or train sets. [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. Both entered service in Natal. Numbers NG54 and NG55 were delivered in 1925 and erected at the Durban workshops in April of that year. These were used in helper service in the Rockies and Selkirks. Unrestored, scrap condition. Therefore, as the weight on the coupled wheels decreases, the locomotive has less adhesion and becomes increasingly prone to slipping. 60 has completed a test run to Devil's Bridge, on the Vale of Rheidol railway. [4], A powerful steam locomotive is problematic on a track gauge of only 2 feet (610 millimetres) with a tight minimum radius of about 150 feet (46 metres) which, in practice, restricts powerful rigid-frame locomotives to four-coupled wheels, often with at least one flangeless coupled wheelset. Only Garratt to do so. 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. Spent much of its working life in South Africa until it was replaced by diesel traction. Heated and double glazed. Garratt locomotives have two well spaced bogies on which are mounted the water . 3985 is being restored to operating condition by the Railroading Heritage of Midwest America.[12][13]. 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. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2975, Beyer Peacock builders No.7624. [1], In comparative testing, no. Chattenden and Upnor Railway. Not to be confused with the steam locomotive E1, this electric locomotive is not in commercial use. Electrification has been proposed, to improve energy efficiency and sustainability.[9]. 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. 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. No. Superheating also required alteration of the valve gear and piston valves were therefore used instead of slide valves. Porta. Converted to coal firing. NG55 was restored to full working order also at Bloemfontein for the Patons Country Narrow Gauge Railway (PCNGR) at Ixopo in Natal by 2005. [, Entered service as "406". A development of the Winson Engineering carriages delivered in 1997, including wider door opening for easier access to passengers with reduced mobility. This page was last edited on 2 January 2023, at 00:53. It hauls tourist steam trains on 3% grades. [3], Mallet found typical main line railways were unwilling to adopt his ideas. In 1964 they were both transferred to the Avontuur line in exchange for two newer Class NG G13 locomotives. Built by Baguley as a 2ft gauge locomotive with the builders number 2395. Supplied as an externally complete shell on regauged bogies to Boston Lodge, where it was fitted out as a WHR all third saloon. It was sold to Rustenburg Platinum Mines in 1956 and became their no. Became Ffestiniog Railway property (in exchange for three bogie wagons) in 1926. [13], Both superheated locomotives still exist. These locomotives had an enlarged front water tank capacity, but carried no water in their rear bunkers which consequently had a larger coal capacity. Smaller Mallets were used by plantations and other industries, all of the 0-4-4-0 type. Purchased from Exmoor Steam Centre, who imported it to the UK. Chesapeake & Ohio 2-6-6-2 #1309, the last domestic steam locomotive built by Baldwin, was scheduled for restoration in September 2017. Numbers 1 and 2: 2-6-0/0-6-2 Beyer Peacock Garratt acquired new in 1936/38. 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. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2979, Beyer Peacock builders No.7628. [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. 2644 and Class 26 no. [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. Re-entered service in October 2022 after overhaul and the fitting of a Hunslet built boiler shipped from Australia ex 129. [1], The modifications were similar in scope to that of the Red Devil, although not as extensive. Some other diesel locomotives (typically shunters) are available and operated in Sri Lanka other than the locomotives and shunters owned by Sri Lanka Railways. NG55 at Ixopo, KwaZulu-Natal, 4 June 2005, The compact Walschaerts valve gear on NG G11 no. [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. The mill gave it the number 9 and used it to work sugar cane wagons in Innisfail district of Far North Queensland. Ownership transferred to Paddock Motors (Derick Classen) after a court case to resolve unpaid storage fees. On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". Locomotive Wiki. [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. In Canada, the Canadian Pacific Railway experimented with an unusual design of Mallet promoted by H.H. By 2011 it was being restored and rebuilt in Bloemfontein. More Pictures > 400 E168 at Povoa da Varzim, August 1970, Swedish-built Mallet locomotive DONJ No 12 in Jdras, Sweden, August 2009, Russian Mallet locomotive Fita () series in 1899. The weight of the front part of the boiler was to be supported on an arc-shaped radial bearing. [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. The American engineer W. S. Hudson patented a system of compounding for railway locomotives in 1873[1] in which he proposed an intermediate receiver surrounded by hot gas from the fire, so that the low-pressure steam is partly superheated. [1] In 1953, Sri Lanka Railways enhanced its service to more power with diesel locomotives. Weighing 71.25 tons, they were initially used on the main quarry line until replaced by the diesel, later being used as shunters. gauge lines of the Bengal Nagpur Railway in India. No. 227, Lake County Historical Society Steam Locomotive No. The fact that they did not need to be run through to terminals to be turned around also made increased operational flexibility possible. G41 was put to work on the Colac to Beach Forest and Crowes line in the states (Victoria) south-west. 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. 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. For the first time since arriving in Aberystwyth, Garratt NGG13 No. A major overhaul on its power units was completed in May 2016, taking 18 months. Sri Lanka's locomotives have appeared in several different liveries over the years. 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. This has been supplemented by later information as it became available. Out of service waiting for a general overhaul and replacement boiler (September 2022). The first locomotives pulled trains on the original segment of the Main Line, on 54 kilometres (34 miles) connecting Colombo and Ambepussa. 15 Jones & Laughlin Steel No. In 2004 the locomotive was purchased by a member of the Lynton & Barnstaple Trust, who shipped it from Australia in 2005. The last Garratt built by. [citation needed]. Almost identical to, A small Simplex locomotive loaned to the WHR by Innogy that has been used on construction trains, particularly on the. NG153. [13] and included one locomotive experimentally converted to electric traction. Engine units sent with 156 to Ixopo. 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. [1][5], Unlike tender locomotives, Garratts are bi-directional, which eliminates the need for turntables or triangles, also known as wyes. 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. 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). [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. At the time, the PCNGR was operating tourist excursion trains between Ixopo and Ncalu. Entered service in plain black livery in 1998, but was due for boiler recertification in 2009. For all narrow gauge (3ft 6in/1067mm) steam locomotives. In service on newly refurbished bogies. 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. [4], Throughout its history, Ceylon Government Railway had 410 steam locomotives. The term "Mallet" continued to be widely used for simple as well as compound locomotives.
