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. Another De Winton is on display in the entrance to the WHR Caernarfon Station. 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. Constructed by Nippon Sharyo in Japan, they were the only Mallets built in Asia. Restored and entered service in autumn 2006. One of the examples in Germany was the class of 0-8-8-0Ts built by Maffei for Bavarian State Railways between 1913 and 1923. In Port Elizabeth, they were employed on shed and yard duty and on transfer trips to and from the docks until, after the arrival of the Class 91-000 diesel-electric locomotives in 1973, they were withdrawn from service in October 1974. They were mechanically similar to the earlier and subsequent Class NG G16 locomotives, but with a revised coal and water carrying arrangement. Work undertaken at Boston Lodge. NG113 and Hunslet-Taylor-built no. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2982, Beyer Peacock builders No.7631. 729 ex demonstrator, ran as DR V150.001; imported 1970. Purchased in 2014 from Exmoor Steam Railway by Steam Powered Services and currently owned by Peter Best. 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. Unlike other diesels purchased by the Ffestiniog Railway Company and named bilingually after Northern Welsh castles, 'Castell Caernarfon' is named in Welsh only. Dragon emblems were later mounted on the cab sides and bunker ends. The lower-pressure steam occupies a larger volume and the low-pressure (LP) cylinders are larger than the high-pressure cylinders. This model is based on the beautiful South African NG G13 locomotive. Commenced service on the Puffing Billy Railway in December 2019 before being withdrawn again for further work. [2] In 1953, the first locomotives from British builder Brush Bagnall were imported. [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). NG155 in 1990, were reclassified to Class NG G16A. 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. 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. Operational after being overhauled in 2020. 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. gauge lines of the Bengal Nagpur Railway in India. [, Entered service as "408". 2644 and Class 26 no. 491 is the largest operating narrow gauge steam locomotive in the western hemisphere. NG129's restoration was planned to coincide with the next time that no. whilst the power units have been rebuilt at Dinas. 3985", "1309 Restoration | Western Maryland Scenic Railroad", "G 23/3 104 Sddeutsche Eisenbahn Gesellschaft Chemin de fer-muse Blonay-Chamby", "G 22/2 105 Sddeutsche Eisenbahn Gesellschaft Chemin de fer-muse Blonay-Chamby", Baldwin description of Mallet locomotives from 1912, Lake Superior Railroad Museum Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range Steam Locomotive No. Some are not in use. 20 All items (468) # A B C D E [citation needed], The Welsh Highland Railway in Wales has five Class NG G16 locomotives. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2978, Beyer Peacock builders No.7627. 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. 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. [3][4], Media related to South African Class NG G16 (2-6-2+2-6-2) at Wikimedia Commons. 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. 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. Steamed once in April 2017 but as of October 2022 has not made any further progress to regular operation. 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. 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. With the FR-WHR link now open, FR locos visit fairly regularly on special services. Underwent a major restoration at Boston Lodge Works. In 1964 they were both transferred to the Avontuur line in exchange for two newer Class NG G13 locomotives. 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. Lease lend to the Apple Express Organization. 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. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2981, Beyer Peacock builders No.7630. This page was last edited on 4 August 2022, at 12:33. The Alfred County Railway Class NG G16A 2-6-2+2-6-2 of 1989 is a steam locomotive from the South African Railways era. 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. This created the risk of the locomotive tilting over on tight curves. It is currently in active service, and a spare boiler is being overhauled for it ahead of a planned overhaul in 2021/22. Similar to 2100, built at Boston Lodge. 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. Subsequent to the exchange, the number "24" was allocated to Ashbury "Corridor" No. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2976, Beyer Peacock builders No.7625. 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 cost of the work paid off financially within twelve months and led to a proposal to develop a Class NG G17, but that never materialised since the line's farming produce traffic was gradually lost to road transport on the improving road network. Purchased from Exmoor Steam Centre, who imported it to the UK. Owned by Transnet Heritage Trust. Smaller Mallets were used by plantations and other industries, all of the 0-4-4-0 type. The Mallet locomotive is a type of articulated steam railway locomotive, invented by the Swiss engineer Anatole Mallet (18371919). It was the first locomotive to be moved to Dinas, in January 1997. Porta. 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. No. [1], Ex South African Railways NGG 16 Class Garratt. [3] Manufacturer [ edit] Two NGG16's working against the background of the Maluti Mountains. 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. [2][3][11], Of the first three locomotives, only no. [2][4], These pre-war locomotives, like the earlier Class NG G13 locomotives, were built with riveted coal and water bunkers and with elliptical tops on the water tanks. 0-4-4-0 metre gauge Mallet built by Maschinenbau-Gesellschaft Karlsruhe, operated commercially by the Zell im WiesentalTodtnau railway and as of 2021 preserved and still operating at the BlonayChamby museum railway. All three, numbered in the range from NG51 to NG53, were erected at the Uitenhage workshops and no. Norfolk & Western 2156 is the sole surviving Y6a, preserved at the National Museum of Transportation in St. Louis. Some parts including the British built Hunslet boiler used to make 116 whole. [3][14], Beyer, Peacock and Company works picture of no. 3985 is being restored to operating condition by the Railroading Heritage of Midwest America.[12][13]. Withdrawn from service in 2020, awaiting a replacement boiler for a new ten year ticket. After several years on light duties a new engine was fitted in October 1999. Purchased in summer 2009 for use on works trains from a private buyer. Overhaul to operating condition stopped due to several factors. Fully upholstered, heated and double glazed coach delivered to Dinas in September 1997 for the start of the Caernarfon service. Not to be confused with the steam locomotive E1, this electric locomotive is not in commercial use. NG55, 4 June 2005, NG G11 no. "Societe Franco-Belge De Materiel Des Chemins De Fer Raismes, France" built 4-8-2+2-8-4 type narrow gauge Garratt steam locomotive. It was one of seven 4-4-0 locomotives built that year for the Ceylon Government Railway by Robert Stephenson & 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. [, Entered service as "404". between 1995 and 2002 with numbers RB1 to RB14. [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. D&RGW Railroad Steam Locomotive No. They were the first Garratt locomotives to enter service in South Africa. Their engine numbers, builders, years built and works numbers are listed in Table II. [. Locomotives and train sets of Sri Lanka Railways consist mostly of diesel locomotives and multiple units. The ACR was also known as the Banana Express from the tourism part of its operation. Some other diesel locomotives (typically shunters) are available and operated in Sri Lanka other than the locomotives and shunters owned by Sri Lanka Railways. 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. This page was last edited on 21 April 2022, at 19:32. The Australian Standard Garratt (ASG) was a Garratt steam locomotive designed in Australia during World War II, and used on 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) narrow gauge railway systems in Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia and Tasmania. Ten-yearly overhaul was completed in 2020, with the locomotive now painted in South African Railways black with SAR/SAS logo on the coal bunker. From 2008 they have completely rebuilt it, including re-gauging it to 2ft6in (762mm) as additional capacity at a time of increasing passenger loadings. Ex South African Railways NG15 Class Unrestored. Mallet designs were popular in Hungary, too. [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. [3], Mallet found typical main line railways were unwilling to adopt his ideas. Similar to 2090. 2-6-6-2T Mallet #110, Black Hills Central Railroad, USA, 2-6-6-2 Restored Mallet #204, ABPF, Rio Negrinho, Santa Catarina, Brazil, A 2-6-6-2 Mallet Locomotive at the Northwest Railway Museum in Snoqualmie, Washington, Portuguese Railways Mallet locomotive No. Replacement for 2115 which is in need of an overhaul. NG52 still exists. [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. First to be acquired was the Hanomag G 2x 3/3 0-6-6-0 No104. On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title.
