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. Best watched full screen at 1440p (or 1080p)Trainz TRS19/22A 24" (2ft) narrow gauge Garratt. [1], Ex South African Railways NGG 16 Class Garratt. Drawing Office, Pretoria, 28 November 1932, South African Railways and Harbours Locomotive Diagram Book, 2'0" & 3'6" Gauge Steam Locomotives, 15 August 1941, as amended, South African National Railway And Steam Museum, "Technology in Australia 1788-1988, Chapter 7, page 460". Numbers 1 and 2: 2-6-0/0-6-2 Beyer Peacock Garratt acquired new in 1936/38. 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. Ex South African Railways NGG16 Class Garratt, green livery. On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. The Afrikaans spelling conventions were changed from time to time in the early years. Work undertaken at Boston Lodge. 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. [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. [13] and included one locomotive experimentally converted to electric traction. ucla prime cohort; h e b shortbread cookies. NG51 later. 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. Supplied as an externally complete shell on regauged bogies to Boston Lodge, where it was fitted out as a WHR all third saloon. NG87 and Beyer, Peacock-built numbers NG130, NG138 and NG143, are used for operational purposes. 141 was also painted red and nicknamed the Red Dragon. 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. [3], Although they had already been ordered in 1914, production was disrupted by the First World War. All operational locomotives in the country today are broad gauge. between 1995 and 2002 with numbers RB1 to RB14. 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. The new locomotives were therefore delivered directly to the SAR in 1958. Note piston valves on high-pressure cylinders and slide valves on low-pressure cylinders. 6 and 7). Typically they feature horizontal bands of colour running their entire length and a solid colour on the front and back ends. 318 Denver & Rio Grande Southern No. The weight of the front part of the boiler was to be supported on an arc-shaped radial bearing. Currently used as a mess coach on construction trains and as a reserve passenger brake vehicle. 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. [, Overturned near Cutana on "Broken Hill Express". Mallet development culminated in 1941 with the 4-8-8-4 Big Boy type on the Union Pacific railroad. 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. Contents 1 History: 2 In Service: 2.1 Queensland Railways: 2.2 Tasmanian Government Railways: [1], The modifications were similar in scope to that of the Red Devil, although not as extensive. In 2017, at least four establishments still operated or were restoring ex-SAR Class NG G16 Garratts. Ownership transferred to Paddock Motors (Derick Classen) after a court case to resolve unpaid storage fees. Dragon emblems were later mounted on the cab sides and bunker ends. [citation needed]. Superheating also required alteration of the valve gear and piston valves were therefore used instead of slide valves. [4], On the South African Railways (SAR) narrow gauge lines, that solution was found in 1914 when orders were placed with Beyer, Peacock and Company for a narrow-gauge Garratt locomotive. One, no. Ordered by Sri Lanka Veneers & Plywood. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". [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. Another De Winton is on display in the entrance to the WHR Caernarfon Station. Operational after being overhauled in 2020. Having first moved under its own steam on 5 February 2021,[4] the locomotive hauled its first (private) passenger train on 30 April 2021. It was sold to Rustenburg Platinum Mines in 1956 and became their no. 473 East Broad Top Railroad No. [1], The second locomotive, the Hunslet-Taylor-built no. 141 in 1989. The term "Mallet" continued to be widely used for simple as well as compound locomotives. The locomotive is a fictional resin and modification by evilcro. Several others followed for railways in mainland Europe. All three, numbered in the range from NG51 to NG53, were erected at the Uitenhage workshops and no. 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. Only 3 CC50 engines survived. Imported in two variants, one for run on commuter services and other run on long distance services. 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. NG5 as yard shunter at Humewood Road. 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. 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. We still hope for this engine to be preserved in railway museums, but there is a chance to make a new built of the class. Power car is a single-ended locomotive without passenger interiors. but they are still an impressive piece of machinery. Smaller Mallets were used by plantations and other industries, all of the 0-4-4-0 type. 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. Mallets were employed in Brazilian 1,000mm (3ft3+38in) metre gauge, tight-radius railroads. As of September 2021 it hauls tourist trains on 5% grades.[18]. Darjeeling Himalayan Railway D Class Beyer-Garratt In September 2018, Sri Lankan Railway ordered 160 passenger coaches from India under $318M line of credit given by India. A development of carriages 2043, 2044 and 2045. 15) and Beyer, Peacock & Company (nos. Some are the locomotives owned by Sri Lanka Ports Authority and Holcim Sri Lanka limited. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". The Mallet locomotive is a type of articulated steam railway locomotive, invented by the Swiss engineer Anatole Mallet (1837-1919).. [6][7] These were unsuccessful, and later engines used conventional boilers. [3][14], Beyer, Peacock and Company works picture of no. [9][10], In comparative testing, no. Although less obvious, both Wardale GPCS locomotives, Class 19D no. "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. The South African built 16A power units were cut up at Paddock October 2017. 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). The front of the locomotive articulated on a bogie.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). Norfolk & Western 2156 is the sole surviving Y6a, preserved at the National Museum of Transportation in St. Louis. These locomotives were introduced in 1926 to increase train sizes and thus reduce losses on . 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. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2975, Beyer Peacock builders No.7624. England Subsequent to the exchange, the number "24" was allocated to Ashbury "Corridor" No. Converted from 2041, completed 2017. A major overhaul on its power units was completed in May 2016, taking 18 months. [4][14], Steam locomotives were used on regular services until the 1970s.[2][4]. Weighing 71.25 tons, they were initially used on the main quarry line until replaced by the diesel, later being used as shunters. 346 Rio Grande No. First to be acquired was the Hanomag G 2x 3/3 0-6-6-0 No104. In service on newly refurbished bogies. The units were unpopular with crews owing to frequent steam leakages and derailments resulting from the lack of pilot wheels. Locomotive Wiki. gauge lines of the Bengal Nagpur Railway in India. [11] Several however, have now been cut up for scrap (see table below). 227, Lake County Historical Society Steam Locomotive No. 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. Entered service in plain black livery in 1998, but was due for boiler recertification in 2009. - last, Entered service as "407". [1], Other visible differences are larger mechanical lubricators and external drive from the valve spindle, a vacuum ejector exhaust muffler just in front of the safety valves, pipes conveying exhaust and ejector steam to the ashpan for mixing with the primary air, the secondary air inlets in the firebox sides with spark arresting plates outside them, and the snifting and bypass valves which were removed and blanked off since the modified locomotive drifted in mid-gear with steam supplied from the drifting valve. [3] Many more steam locomotives were added to the system, through to the 1950s. 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. . The DMUs are painted in various liveries, unique to their classes. 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. [, Entered service as "402". Nicknamed "Old Maude", it was a 0-6-6-0 weighing 334,500lb (151,700kg) and with axle loads of 60,000lb (27,000kg). These six locomotives were ultimately the only articulated locomotives operated by a Canadian railway. Two 2-8-8-4 examples built in Russia in 195455 were probably the last Mallets built in Europe.[3]. Captions 26, 32. 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. Therefore, as the weight on the coupled wheels decreases, the locomotive has less adhesion and becomes increasingly prone to slipping. In 2010 it was acquired by Sandstone Estates. Sold to the Puffing Billy Railway by ACR shareholder Peter Newton in 1996. Note the clear exhausts in the picture below of numbers 141 and 155 double-heading on the climb from Bongwana to Nqabeni. Heated and double glazed. To accommodate the pivoting, the steam and exhaust pipes have flexible connections between the engine units and the central cradle. 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. Similar to 2090. History [ edit] Constructed by Nippon Sharyo in Japan, they were the only Mallets built in Asia. Some other diesel locomotives (typically shunters) are available and operated in Sri Lanka other than the locomotives and shunters owned by Sri Lanka Railways. NG141 achieved a fuel saving of 25% compared to a standard Class NG G16 Garratt, a performance which was easily maintained in regular service. [10] This system was abandoned in 1928,[10] with new locomotives being numbered from 249 upwards,[11] and reaching 336 by 1940, and 362 in 1951 when the last steam locomotive a 4-8-0 from WG Bagnall was delivered. [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. By July 2017 no. Withdrawn in 2020 for a ten-yearly overhaul. 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. [10] The 1309 was also the last steam locomotive that Baldwin built for the North American market. 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. Built for the North Wales Narrow Gauge Railways became Welsh Highland Railway property in 1923 and was reduced in height to fit the FR loading gauge. They were the first Garratt locomotives to enter service in South Africa. The lower-pressure steam occupies a larger volume and the low-pressure (LP) cylinders are larger than the high-pressure cylinders. Notable locomotives was the last remaining Australian Standard Garratt and the narrow gauge Clyde-GM G-8 numbered D1. Almost identical to, A small Simplex locomotive loaned to the WHR by Innogy that has been used on construction trains, particularly on the. South African locomotive numbering and classification, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=South_African_Class_NG_G11_2-6-0%2B0-6-2&oldid=1126751041, Use South African English from November 2013, All Wikipedia articles written in South African English, Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License 3.0, This page was last edited on 11 December 2022, at 01:37. 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. As a French-speaking Swiss, Mallet pronounced his name accordingly, something like "Ma-lay". 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. This page was last edited on 4 August 2022, at 12:33. Back in operation as of February 2020. [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. Both modified locomotives were reclassified to Class NG G16A. Scrapped by the THF at Humewood Road, Port Elizabeth, South Africa August 2011. 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. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". Sri Lanka's first railway locomotive was Leopold, in 1864. [5], The Railways upgraded its service to diesel locomotives, under the leadership of B. D. Rampala in the mid 1950s. "Societe Franco-Belge De Materiel Des Chemins De Fer Raismes, France" built 4-8-2+2-8-4 type narrow gauge Garratt steam locomotive. The Puffing Billy Railway also purchased no. Back in operation by April 2019 after a boiler retube. G42 was to be withdrawn for major maintenance. Withdrawn from service in 2020, awaiting a replacement boiler for a new ten year ticket. 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. More pictures on the Patons County Photos page: NGG11-55 - Estcourt - TH-NGG11-55 - Estcourt - TH NGG11-55 - Port Elizabeth - JL - (KSC) . Fitted with Pullman style armchairs. 23, re-establishing the division between FR and WHR stock in the combined stock list. Sold to Welshpool and Llanfair Railway in 1962 and to the Ffestiniog Railway in 1968 and re-gauged. All but one remained there for the rest of their service lives until withdrawal by 1962. 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. Extensive gallery of narrow gauge railway photos. [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. NG52 still exists. 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. [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. 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. 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. Operated mainly on the broad gauged. 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. Garratts may not be nearly as big as Big Boys, Yellowstones, Alleghenys, etc. [4], Throughout its history, Ceylon Government Railway had 410 steam locomotives. NG140, is used as a source of spare parts while four locomotives, Cockerill-built no. [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. The most serious waste of fuel in a conventional steam locomotive is the loss of unburned coal particles from the fuel bed through the exhaust because of the rapid flow of air through the grate. A new boiler has been constructed at the South Devon Railway (heritage railway) NG127 from Peter Newton in November 2011. 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 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. Remaining large components re-assembled using 116 boiler for static display at Ixopo by January 2019. [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. D&RGW Railroad Steam Locomotive No. [1][2][3], The system of grouping narrow-gauge locomotives into classes was only adopted by the SAR somewhere between 1928 and 1930. His patent 162876 in France specified four cylinders, two large and two small, with one pair of cylinders acting on two or three fixed axles, and the other pair acting on axles mounted in a swivelling truck.[3]. Updated * 04-01-2008. . 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. 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. [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. 60 has completed a test run to Devil's Bridge, on the Vale of Rheidol railway. Power car is a single-ended locomotive without passenger interiors. Caption 4. On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. Updated start of season 2020.[10]. Scrap condition. Restored and entered service in autumn 2006. 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. 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. Water was carried in the front and rear tanks and also unusually, in a tank under the boiler. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2980, Beyer Peacock builders No.7629. 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. Funded by the WHR Society. [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.
