This is a list of the rolling stock owned by the Ffestiniog Railway Company which is used to operate the Welsh Highland Railway, Ex Tasmanian Government Railways K class, the world's first Garratt locomotive. 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. 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]. Collector's Series These kits are faithful depictions of classic narrow gauge designs, covering prototypes from 1'11" gauge (60cm) to 2'6". A replica of an 1894 "Ashbury" NWNGR "Summer Coach". Arrived ex ship "Belnor". The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway introduced 25 simple (non-compound expansion) 2-8-8-2 locomotives in 1924 and 20 more in 1926. gauge lines of the Bengal Nagpur Railway in India. Fitted with Pullman style armchairs. NG141 achieved a fuel saving of 25% compared to a standard Class NG G16 Garratt, a performance which was easily maintained in regular service. Commenced service on the Puffing Billy Railway in December 2019 before being withdrawn again for further work. [13] and included one locomotive experimentally converted to electric traction. Water was carried in the front and rear tanks and also unusually, in a tank under the boiler. [2] He patented the system in 1874, and in 1876 the first locomotive to the patent was built, an 0-4-2T for the Bayonne and Biarritz Railway. Locomotives and train sets of Sri Lanka Railways consist mostly of diesel locomotives and multiple units. More Pictures > 400 155, was rebuilt in 1990, but it retained its traditional ex-SAR black livery. Explore. On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. This created the risk of the locomotive tilting over on tight curves. [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. 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. [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. M6 ICE locomotives have a unique ICE livery of brown and orange. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2981, Beyer Peacock builders No.7630. 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. Restored and entered service in autumn 2006.

[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. Underwent a major restoration at Boston Lodge Works. HAL6DTI - 135 hp. NG51, c. 1919, NG G11 no. It was the first locomotive to be moved to Dinas, in January 1997. With the introduction of diesel locomotives, coloured liveries appeared. England 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. Power car is a single-ended locomotive without passenger interiors. 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. Owned by Transnet Heritage Trust. 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. [13], Both superheated locomotives still exist. All three, numbered in the range from NG51 to NG53, were erected at the Uitenhage workshops and no. 473 East Broad Top Railroad No. The last steam locomotive built for the South African Railways. For the first time since arriving in Aberystwyth, Garratt NGG13 No. 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. [1][2], When the lower section of the Avontuur line was dieselised upon the arrival of the Class 91-000 diesel-electric locomotives in 1973, all the Class NG G16 locomotives still in service were transferred to various branches in Natal, where they remained until they were withdrawn from service. [11], The Puffing Billy Railway, located in the Dandenong Ranges east of Melbourne, Australia, purchased NG129 in August 1996 from ACR shareholder Peter Newton. No. They had flat-topped water tanks with rounded top side edges, and were the first NGG16s to have welded tanks. 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)).

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). 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. [, Overturned near Cutana on "Broken Hill Express". Either method was expensive and, in such conditions, the Garratt design had distinct advantages. Funded by the WHR Society. A number of Mallets were constructed for the Nordhausen Wernigerode Eisenbahn, now part of the Harz Narrow Gauge Railways system in Germany. NG127 from Peter Newton in November 2011. [1][2][3][6], The fourth batch of seven locomotives, numbered in the range from NG137 to NG143, were the last steam locomotives to be built by Beyer, Peacock and were built to the specifications of the Tsumeb Copper Corporation in South West Africa (SWA). Replacement for 2115 which is in need of an overhaul. 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. [1][2][8][9], With the GPCS, the coal is heated to drive off the volatile components which are then burned in the secondary air admitted above the grate. Three Mallets ran in Australia, including one on the Magnet Tramway in Tasmania. [16], Another industrial type has been purchased and restored by the Statfold Barn Railway in the UK. AL 0.400 - 110 hp Withdrawn in 2020 for a ten-yearly overhaul. Only the boiler cradle and cab are today genuine 156. These three locomotives were not superheated. [1][5], Unlike tender locomotives, Garratts are bi-directional, which eliminates the need for turntables or triangles, also known as wyes. [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. Mallets were employed in Brazilian 1,000mm (3ft3+38in) metre gauge, tight-radius railroads. [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. All but one remained there for the rest of their service lives until withdrawal by 1962. 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.

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. NG153. At the time, the PCNGR was operating tourist excursion trains between Ixopo and Ncalu. In 1884, he proposed compounding combined with articulation; on lightly engineered secondary lines this could give greater power to locomotives whose axle load and size were limited. 2644 and Class 26 no. Built at Boston Lodge. 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. 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. 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. In September 2018, Sri Lankan Railway ordered 160 passenger coaches from India under $318M line of credit given by India. NG51 was put on trials on the Avontuur line in May 1920. Not in operation and the power cars were scrapped. [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. Caption 4. Locomotive is for sale. These locomotives had an enlarged front water tank capacity, but carried no water in their rear bunkers which consequently had a larger coal capacity. 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. They were numbered in the range from NG109 to NG116. 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. Similar to 2100, built at Boston Lodge. Funded by a private donor. [, Entered service as "406". With their 22.5 meter length, 163.3 tonnes total weight and 2200 KW power, the MV 601 was the biggest, the heaviest and most powerful steam locomotive built before and during the First World War in Europe.[4]. [2] Since then, various types of diesel locomotives were added to the service. Running numbers 99 5901-3 and 99 5906 are in working order. 318 Denver & Rio Grande Southern No. Imported in two variants, one for run on commuter services and other run on long distance services. 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.
