[, Entered service as "408". 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. [5], The Railways upgraded its service to diesel locomotives, under the leadership of B. D. Rampala in the mid 1950s. Coal fired. 20 All items (468) # A B C D E 491 is the largest operating narrow gauge steam locomotive in the western hemisphere. Garratt locomotives have two well spaced bogies on which are mounted the water . 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 engine numbers, builders, years built and works numbers are listed in Table II. [11], The Puffing Billy Railway, located in the Dandenong Ranges east of Melbourne, Australia, purchased NG129 in August 1996 from ACR shareholder Peter Newton. Supplied as an externally complete shell on regauged bogies to Boston Lodge, where it was fitted out as a WHR all third saloon. [3], Although they had already been ordered in 1914, production was disrupted by the First World War. Contents 1 History: 2 In Service: 2.1 Queensland Railways: 2.2 Tasmanian Government Railways: By 2011 it was being restored and rebuilt in Bloemfontein. Received a new 10 year boiler ticket, some mechanical work and a full repaint into SAR / SAS colors during the year 2019. 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 . [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. Operated mainly on the broad gauged, Very similar in appearance to S6. Purchased in 2014 from Exmoor Steam Railway by Steam Powered Services and currently owned by Peter Best. Unrestored, scrap condition. 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. Narrow gauge locomotives were numbered in the same list as broad gauge locomotives. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". 143 re-entered service in 2011 in green livery for the Fairlies, Garratts and Mallets competition. The locomotive will be overhauled and re-gauged before entering service.[8]. The mill gave it the number 9 and used it to work sugar cane wagons in Innisfail district of Far North Queensland. G42 was located on the Moe to Walhalla line in the states south-east. NG51 was later returned to the Avontuur line to replace the retiring Class NG3 no. Dragon emblems were later mounted on the cab sides and bunker ends. NG5 as yard shunter at Humewood Road. NG55 was stored in the open at Ixopo awaiting extensive boiler repairs. 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. Having first moved under its own steam on 5 February 2021,[4] the locomotive hauled its first (private) passenger train on 30 April 2021. Chattenden and Upnor Railway. They were the first Garratt locomotives to enter service in South Africa. [5][7], The Garratt design has some inherent drawbacks, however, the first being a diminishing factor of adhesion over long distances. With the FR-WHR link now open, FR locos visit fairly regularly on special services. 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. The model represents the Garratt locomotives presently running on the Welsh Highland Railway. Became Ffestiniog Railway property (in exchange for three bogie wagons) in 1926.

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. The locomotive is a fictional resin and modification by evilcro. Originally sponsored by Historic Houses Hotels Ltd, the proprietors of Bodysgallen Hall, hence the name Bodysgallen. History [ edit] England Arrived ex ship "Belnor". Transferred to Dinas by road early September 2008. But unlike the CC 50 class, all of the CC 10s & DD 50 -52s was sadly cut up for scrap. An additional "simple" (as opposed to compound) unit with road #1955 featuring the same arrangement was also produced. Another De Winton is on display in the entrance to the WHR Caernarfon Station. [12], The other two were scrapped after being retired from SAR service. Not to be confused with the steam locomotive E1, this electric locomotive is not in commercial use. [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. Sri Lanka's first railway locomotive was Leopold, in 1864. 141 in 1989. [12] Completion of no. NG52 still exists. but they are still an impressive piece of machinery. 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. 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.

On loan to Statfold Barn Railway. [, Entered service as "404". NG141 achieved a fuel saving of 25% compared to a standard Class NG G16 Garratt, a performance which was easily maintained in regular service. Only 3 CC50 engines survived. As of January 2023, No. Transferred Dinas, in August 1997 for use on reconstruction work. [citation needed]. From 2008 they have completely rebuilt it, including re-gauging it to 2ft6in (762mm) as additional capacity at a time of increasing passenger loadings. [4][14], Steam locomotives were used on regular services until the 1970s.[2][4]. Darjeeling Himalayan Railway D Class Beyer-Garratt Mallet designs were popular in Hungary, too. In service on newly refurbished bogies. 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.

[2] In 1953, the first locomotives from British builder Brush Bagnall were imported. Back in operation by April 2019 after a boiler retube. As of March 2022, Sri Lanka does not have commercially operational electric locomotives or train sets. 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. The following locomotives are normally Ffestiniog Railway stock that have run on the WHR. Sold to Sandstone in 2002. [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. 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.

By July 2017 no. 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. They could develop 6,290 horsepower (4,690kW) on the drawbar at 35mph (56km/h) and were designed for a top speed of 70mph (110km/h), though they rarely saw these speeds. 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. WO6E1- 120 hp Transferred to Dinas, in April 2000 for use as a stand-by on passenger engine. Running numbers 99 5901-3 and 99 5906 are in working order. Scrapped at Paddock, South Africa September 2017. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". [6][7] These were unsuccessful, and later engines used conventional boilers. The units were unpopular with crews owing to frequent steam leakages and derailments resulting from the lack of pilot wheels. 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). The result is improved combustion, thereby minimising black smoke, which is evidence of incomplete combustion and unburnt coal particles being ejected through the exhaust. 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. [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. Smaller Mallets were used by plantations and other industries, all of the 0-4-4-0 type. After several years on light duties a new engine was fitted in October 1999.
