Steam locomotives were numbered from 1 upwards, reaching 161 in 1911. Subsequent to the exchange, the number "24" was allocated to Ashbury "Corridor" No. [12], The other two were scrapped after being retired from SAR service. No. Almost identical to, A small Simplex locomotive loaned to the WHR by Innogy that has been used on construction trains, particularly on the. Either method was expensive and, in such conditions, the Garratt design had distinct advantages. Prior to this exchange, this carriage had been WHR No 24. 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. Ex South African Railways NG15 Class Unrestored. A number of the Union Pacific "Big Boys", are preserved, including one overlooking Omaha, Nebraska where UP is based. Dragon emblems were later mounted on the cab sides and bunker ends. The truck could therefore turn into a curve and move to some extent laterally. [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. Locomotive is for sale. No. [1], The second locomotive, the Hunslet-Taylor-built no. 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.

Narrow Gauge Garratt locomotives Herbert Garratt - and his Sandstone locomotives An iconic Sandstone scene. [1], The modifications were similar in scope to that of the Red Devil, although not as extensive. 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 . 346 Rio Grande No. The last Garratt built by. To accommodate the pivoting, the steam and exhaust pipes have flexible connections between the engine units and the central cradle. For all narrow gauge (3ft 6in/1067mm) steam locomotives. Not in use. 141 achieved a fuel saving of 25% compared to a standard Class NG G16 Garratt, a performance which was easily maintained in regular service. Power car is a single-ended locomotive without passenger interiors. [, Entered service as "405". The South African Railways Class NG G11 2-6-0+0-6-2 of 1919 was a narrow gauge steam locomotive. [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. With the FR-WHR link now open, FR locos visit fairly regularly on special services. Soul of A Railway, System 3, Part 1: Cape Midland, based in Port Elizabeth, Part 1, The Port Elizabeth Narrow Gauge. Smaller Mallets were used by plantations and other industries, all of the 0-4-4-0 type.

Ex South African Railways NGG16 Class Garratt, red livery. 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. [, Entered service as "409". In Canada, the Canadian Pacific Railway experimented with an unusual design of Mallet promoted by H.H. Mallet's original patent specifies compound expansion, but after his death in 1919 many locomotives (particularly in the United States) were articulated Mallet style without using compounding (for instance the Union Pacific Big Boy). Refurbished in 2002 and returned to the WHR. A replica of an 1894 "Ashbury" NWNGR "Summer Coach". Entered service in plain black livery in 1998, but was due for boiler recertification in 2009. One Mallet ran in New Zealand, and is preserved at Glenbrook Vintage Railway, Auckland. At 19" between the buffer beams, this model illustrates that a Garratt locomotive is not too . Superheating also required alteration of the valve gear and piston valves were therefore used instead of slide valves. Engine units sent with 156 to Ixopo. Having first moved under its own steam on 5 February 2021,[4] the locomotive hauled its first (private) passenger train on 30 April 2021. Operated mainly on the broad gauged, Very similar in appearance to S6. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2977, Beyer Peacock builders No.7626. Alternative solutions would either be double-heading longer trains or re-building and re-aligning large parts of the lines to accommodate heavier locomotives. 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. 60 arrived via a low-loader back in July 2017 . Price: GBP80 plus GBP1.50 p+p in the UK. In 2010 it was acquired by Sandstone Estates. The front of the locomotive articulated on a bogie. This then was what became understood as a "Mallet" locomotive: an articulated locomotive in which the rear set of driving wheels were fixed in the main frame of the locomotive; an articulated truck carrying a second set of driving wheels; and compounding in which the high-pressure cylinders drove the axles on the main frame and the articulated axles were driven by low-pressure steam. In February 2018, local newspapers and news websites reported that General Electric company, USA won the tender for 10 diesel electric locomotives for the use of upcountry railways. We would like to show you a description here but the site won't allow us. Under construction at Boston Lodge. Back in operation as of February 2020. 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. [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. [2][9][10], The first three locomotives were all working in Natal soon after entering service. The object of the latter is to convert the kinetic energy of the combustion gas and exhaust steam mixture to a pressure as close to atmospheric as possible. As of January 2023, No. [13], Both superheated locomotives still exist.

Water was carried in the front and rear tanks and also unusually, in a tank under the boiler. 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. This type is generally regarded as the largest steam locomotive in the world. HAL6DTI - 135 hp. This page was last edited on 27 February 2023, at 16:41. [11] Several however, have now been cut up for scrap (see table below). [12], Narrow gauge locomotives were numbered in the same list as broad gauge locomotives. Became Ffestiniog Railway property (in exchange for three bogie wagons) in 1926. A third stage (triple expansion) may be employed. The new locomotives were therefore delivered directly to the SAR in 1958. These are Cockerill-built no. Imported in two variants, one for run on commuter services and other run on long distance services. Typical for many locomotives is a livery that has thick horizontal bands of dark blue, light blue, silver and a yellow stripe.

NG54 was restored in Bloemfontein in 1989, After a period working the Apple Express out of Port Elizabeth, it ended up staged out of service at Humewood Road until it was removed by Sandstone Estates in 2011 for safe-keeping. [3] Manufacturer [ edit] On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. This has been supplemented by later information as it became available. The cabs of the second order locomotives were also improved to offer better protection to the crew. 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. Directory of UK railways, large links page and articles on worldwide narrow gage railroads ex South African Railways Beyer Peacock Garratt at Waunfawr These ran mostly on 600mm (1ft11+58in) and 700mm (2ft3+916in) gauge networks. 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. At the time, the PCNGR was operating tourist excursion trains between Ixopo and Ncalu. Re-entered service in 2010 in crimson lake livery. The single surviving example of a cab-forward Mallet is Southern Pacific 4294, on display at the California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento, California.

[2][3], Another drawback is the risk of tilting. These U.S. locomotives were paralleled to some extent by heavy-haul versions in the USSR, though without any attempt at faster running. "Union Pacific Big Boy", an example of a simple Mallet. 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. [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. 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). 156 power units were cut up at Paddock in October 2017. 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. 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. Several units out of service shortly after introduction due to cost of spares and repair. Now in service. Extensive gallery of narrow gauge railway photos. 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]. After several years on light duties a new engine was fitted in October 1999. They have shown their ability to handle loads of 2,000 tons on grades of 1 in 100 at 15 m.p.h., compared with previous loads of 1,650 tons hauled at 8 m.p.h. They were the first Garratt locomotives to enter service in South Africa. Currently used as a mess coach on construction trains and as a reserve passenger brake vehicle. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2976, Beyer Peacock builders No.7625. Arrived ex ship "Belnor".
