Mallet proposed cross-compounding in which a conventional steam locomotive configuration would have one high-pressure cylinder and one low-pressure cylinder. Diesel locomotives of Sri Lanka Railway are categorized into several classes and their sub classes. 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. The term "Mallet" continued to be widely used for simple as well as compound locomotives. The locomotive will be overhauled and re-gauged before entering service.[8]. Spent much of its working life in South Africa until it was replaced by diesel traction. 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]. [, Worked to Quorn. [1], Ex South African Railways NGG 16 Class Garratt. [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NG G16 locomotives still in service were transferred to various branches in Natal, where they remained until they were withdrawn from service. 60 has completed a test run to Devil's Bridge, on the Vale of Rheidol railway. 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. [citation needed]. On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. [2], Ex South African Railways NGG16 Class Garratt. NG55, 4 June 2005, NG G11 no. 143 re-entered service in 2011 in green livery for the Fairlies, Garratts and Mallets competition. 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. [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. Scrapped at Paddock, South Africa October 2017. 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. 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. Explore. Class of South African 26-2+2-6-2 Garratt locomotives, South African Railways and Harbours Locomotive Diagram Book, 2'0" & 3'6" Gauge Steam Locomotives, 15 August 1941, as amended, Rebuilt Garratt undertakes its first Australian run, SATS / Transnet NG/G16 Garratt Fleet Disposal, Stars of Sandstone, Official Operating Programme for 12th - 21st April 2014. Basil Roberts caught 2-8-0 + 0-8-2 Garratt GB 827 working an engineer's train at Pyinyaung on the mountainous branch above Thazi on 16th November 1972. [11], The two locomotives of the second order also served in Natal, ending up working on the branch from Estcourt to Weenen. 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 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. 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. [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. Water was carried in the front and rear tanks and also unusually, in a tank under the boiler. Re-entered service in 2010 in crimson lake livery. Withdrawn in 2020 for a ten-yearly overhaul. HAL6DTI - 135 hp. [12], The other two were scrapped after being retired from SAR service. 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. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". [3], Mallet found typical main line railways were unwilling to adopt his ideas. The various Railbus units that are currently operated are not listed below. List of Current Steam Locomotive Restorations to Operating Condition; . [citation needed], Two of Union Pacific's Challengers survived into preservation. All but one remained there for the rest of their service lives until withdrawal by 1962. Compounding was proposed by the British engineer Jonathan Hornblower in 1781. NG141 in 1989 and 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. Ownership transferred to Paddock Motors (Derick Classen) after a court case to resolve unpaid storage fees. 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. NG113 and Hunslet-Taylor-built no. [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. [, Entered service as "404". This created the risk of the locomotive tilting over on tight curves. Sold to Sandstone in 2002. Initially outshopped in photographic grey livery on completion in 2009 and was then painted into midnight blue livery from March 2010. [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. They were the first Garratt locomotives to enter service in South Africa. In 1962, the Indonesian state railways DKA ordered a series of 0-4-4-2s, basically an updated version of the earlier Dutch design, for the old Atjeh (now Aceh) tramway. Moved from Paddock to Ixopo by December 2015 with the power units off 149. 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. Both modified locomotives were reclassified to Class NG G16A. 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. 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. These two were superheated and, as a result, had longer smokeboxes and were 9+12 inches (241 millimetres) longer in overall length. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". In 1964 they were both transferred to the Avontuur line in exchange for two newer Class NG G13 locomotives. 23, re-establishing the division between FR and WHR stock in the combined stock list. 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. Only Garratt to get to Quorn [, Worked to Broken Hill. Challenger #3985 was the largest operational steam locomotive in the world until the restoration of UP 4014. On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. G41 was put to work on the Colac to Beach Forest and Crowes line in the states (Victoria) south-west.

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. [1][2][3][4], The challenges of Africa resulted in the regular need for double-heading of steam locomotives on heavy trains. Mallets were employed in Brazilian 1,000mm (3ft3+38in) metre gauge, tight-radius railroads. By 2011 it was being restored and rebuilt in Bloemfontein. Power cars are single-ended locomotives without passenger interiors. 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. Not in operation and the power cars were scrapped. 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. [4] [14] Darjeeling Himalayan Railway D Class Beyer-Garratt Locomotive is for sale. Transferred Dinas, in August 1997 for use on reconstruction work. [5], The same problem also existed on Cape gauge light-rail single-line track where train lengths would be limited because conventional locomotives had been enlarged to the limit of their possible power due to restrictions on axle loading. 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 South African built 16A power units were cut up at Paddock October 2017. Photo credit: David Benn section of surviving Narrow Gauge Garratt locomotives in the world. [1][2], The success of the Class NG G13 narrow gauge Garratts that were introduced by the South African Railways (SAR) in 1927 led to a decision that any additional narrow gauge articulated locomotives would be of the same design. Converted to coal firing. The first locomotive to undergo the treatment was the Beyer, Peacock-built no. It was in service until 1979, and as of September 2021 is still under restoration. [3][4], Media related to South African Class NG G16 (2-6-2+2-6-2) at Wikimedia Commons. [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. 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. Converted steam rail car in 1950. Several others followed for railways in mainland Europe. 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.

It was built for the Drewry Car Co, for Underhill Day & Co, for the South Johnstone Co-operative Sugar Milling Association in Australia. [2], The Cockerill locomotives, numbers NG85 to NG88, remained in Natal for most of their service lives. [1][2][8], Having been proved successful during trials, another two locomotives were ordered from Beyer, Peacock. [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).

[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. These narrow gauge Garratts had boilers of 4 feet 2 inches (1,270 millimetres) inside diameter on a frame width of about 6 feet 1012 inches (2,096 millimetres). It is currently in active service, and a spare boiler is being overhauled for it ahead of a planned overhaul in 2021/22. but they are still an impressive piece of machinery. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". 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. The last steam locomotive built for the South African Railways. The lower-pressure steam occupies a larger volume and the low-pressure (LP) cylinders are larger than the high-pressure cylinders. The Mallet locomotive is a type of articulated steam railway locomotive, invented by the Swiss engineer Anatole Mallet (1837-1919).. On postage stamps, for example, it was "Zuid Afrika" from 1913, "Suidafrika" from the airmail stamps of 1925 and hyphenated "Suid-Afrika" from 1933. Running numbers 99 5901-3 and 99 5906 are in working order. 15) and Beyer, Peacock & Company (nos. 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. .
