[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. 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)). World War 2 put paid to the earlier locomotives and by the 1970s the lines were effectively dieselised and the surviving wartime GB and GC Garratts were reduced to menial duties. Steam locomotives were numbered from 1 upwards, reaching 161 in 1911. All three, numbered in the range from NG51 to NG53, were erected at the Uitenhage workshops and no. It is believed to have been stored in Essex and in Somerset before being moved to the Exmoor Steam Railway. [5] Currently painted in a "Burrell Plum" livery.[6]. Funded by WHR Society. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". 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. [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. Converted to coal firing. [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. [13] This gave them a second almost-complete Class NG G16 which will possibly also be totally rebuilt in the future. Not in use. Originally sponsored by Historic Houses Hotels Ltd, the proprietors of Bodysgallen Hall, hence the name Bodysgallen.

Produced in the CPR's Angus shops, road numbers 1950 to 1954 were outshopped between 1909 and 1911. In Canada, the Canadian Pacific Railway experimented with an unusual design of Mallet promoted by H.H. [3] Manufacturer [ edit] [16], Another industrial type has been purchased and restored by the Statfold Barn Railway in the UK. Coal fired. Nicknamed "Old Maude", it was a 0-6-6-0 weighing 334,500lb (151,700kg) and with axle loads of 60,000lb (27,000kg). [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. An additional "simple" (as opposed to compound) unit with road #1955 featuring the same arrangement was also produced. One class P1 locomotive was at Viharamahadevi (Victoria) Amusement Park[14], S1S8 Diesel Hydraulic Multiple Units, S9S14, S14A Diesel Electric & Electro-Diesel Multiple Units.

The ACR was also known as the Banana Express from the tourism part of its operation. These are Cockerill-built no. 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. The South African Railways Class NG G16 2-6-2+2-6-2 was a narrow gauge steam locomotive. As of September 2021 it hauls tourist trains on 5% grades.[18]. NG153.

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. This 180hp Gardner 6LXB diesel-engined locomotive was built for R.N. These six locomotives were ultimately the only articulated locomotives operated by a Canadian railway. Similar to 2090. Scrapped by the THF at Humewood Road, Port Elizabeth, South Africa August 2011. Sixteen "Beyer-Garratt" locomotives of the 4-8-0 + 0-8-4 type are in service on the 5 ft. 6 in. This model is based on the beautiful South African NG G13 locomotive. Garratts may not be nearly as big as Big Boys, Yellowstones, Alleghenys, etc. 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. Numbers NG54 and NG55 were delivered in 1925 and erected at the Durban workshops in April of that year. Other basic elements of the locomotive remained more or less the same. First to be acquired was the Hanomag G 2x 3/3 0-6-6-0 No104. England 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. [13] and included one locomotive experimentally converted to electric traction. 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. [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.

[1], The cost of the work paid off financially within twelve months and led to a proposal to develop a Class NG G17 Garratt. In addition, the articulated design of the earlier models, as well as the most powerful, the 1956 model locomotive with its 4-8-2+2-8-4 axle arrangement, enabled it . 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).

In September 2018, Sri Lankan Railway ordered 160 passenger coaches from India under $318M line of credit given by India. Total rebuild carried out including a new all-welded steel boiler and conversion to 2'6" gauge. Withdrawn in 2020 for a ten-yearly overhaul. [12], Narrow gauge locomotives were numbered in the same list as broad gauge locomotives. 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. Specifications: Scale: 1:19; Dual gauge: 32/45mm 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.

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. 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. The cabs of the second order locomotives were also improved to offer better protection to the crew. One, no. Used also on civil engineering rosters. In terms of a prior agreement between the SAR and the Tsumeb Copper Corporation, the SAR would purchase any narrow gauge locomotives that would become redundant should the re-gauging of the SWA system take place.

[, Worked to Quorn. 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. History [ edit] Located in the former Humewood Road (Port Elizabeth) Narrow Gauge diesel depot in good external condition. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". Scrapped at Paddock, South Africa August 2017. Mallet designs were popular in Hungary, too. [citation needed]. 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. Power cars are single-ended locomotives without passenger interiors. Note piston valves on high-pressure cylinders and slide valves on low-pressure cylinders. South African Railways and Harbours Narrow Gauge Locomotive Diagram Book, 2'0" Gauge, S.A.R. Typical for many locomotives is a livery that has thick horizontal bands of dark blue, light blue, silver and a yellow stripe.

"[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. [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. [1][5], Unlike tender locomotives, Garratts are bi-directional, which eliminates the need for turntables or triangles, also known as wyes. The various Railbus units that are currently operated are not listed below. Unrestored, scrap condition. No. The Puffing Billy Railway also purchased no.

Locomotive Wiki. (Under licence to Beyer Peacock & Co. - Manchester, England), Entered service as "400". 3450, have exactly this shape of chimney, but because of height constraints in large locomotives, their chimneys had to be doubled or even tripled to achieve the correct proportions, hence the double exhausts of the two Wardale locomotives. Back in operation by April 2019 after a boiler retube. [citation needed]. The Mallet locomotive is a type of articulated steam railway locomotive, invented by the Swiss engineer Anatole Mallet (1837-1919).. by two ordinary steam locomotives. [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. Scrapped at Paddock, South Africa October 2017. Sub class M10A was introduced in 2013 which is a technical variant. Soul of A Railway, System 3, Part 1: Cape Midland, based in Port Elizabeth, Part 1, The Port Elizabeth Narrow Gauge. NG113 and Hunslet-Taylor-built no.

[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. 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. Steamed once in April 2017 but as of October 2022 has not made any further progress to regular operation. 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. Norfolk & Western 2156 is the sole surviving Y6a, preserved at the National Museum of Transportation in St. Louis. 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.
