Some other diesel locomotives (typically shunters) are available and operated in Sri Lanka other than the locomotives and shunters owned by Sri Lanka Railways. Although less obvious, both Wardale GPCS locomotives, Class 19D no. Bought by the Ffestiniog Railway in 1981 and re-gauged, it was re-bodied and overhauled at Boston Lodge in 1986 and frequently used on 'pull and push' trains. The fact that they did not need to be run through to terminals to be turned around also made increased operational flexibility possible. These three locomotives were not superheated. First to be acquired was the Hanomag G 2x 3/3 0-6-6-0 No104. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". Fitted with Pullman style armchairs. Unlike other diesels purchased by the Ffestiniog Railway Company and named bilingually after Northern Welsh castles, 'Castell Caernarfon' is named in Welsh only. Beyer, Peacock and Company was only able to deliver the first three locomotives in 1919 after cessation of hostilities. Updated start of season 2020.[10]. Scrapped by the THF at Humewood Road, Port Elizabeth, South Africa August 2011. NG127 from Peter Newton in November 2011. 141 in 1989. A development of carriages 2043, 2044 and 2045. These U.S. locomotives were paralleled to some extent by heavy-haul versions in the USSR, though without any attempt at faster running. Similar to 2090. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2981, Beyer Peacock builders No.7630. [4] [14] [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. Three of their Class NG G16 locomotives are homed here, and are regularly run during the Estate's annual events like the Cosmos Festival, Cherry Festival, Stars of Sandstone and others. Funded by WHR Society. It was CC 50 01 ( Prototype ) in the Transportation museum in TMII, CC 50 22 in Railway Museum (Netherlands) and CC 50 29 in the Ambarawa Railway Museum. 58 Rio Grande No. by two ordinary steam locomotives. [9][10], The GPCS relies on the gasification of coal on a low temperature firebed so that the gases are then fully burnt above the firebed. 491 is the largest operating narrow gauge steam locomotive in the western hemisphere. Several Mallets have been preserved, some in operational condition. This 180hp Gardner 6LXB diesel-engined locomotive was built for R.N. All the steam locomotives bar three were manufactured in the United Kingdom; the exceptions were three 4-4-0s built at the railway's Maradana Works near Colombo in 1900 and 1905. As a French-speaking Swiss, Mallet pronounced his name accordingly, something like "Ma-lay". The cabs of the second order locomotives were also improved to offer better protection to the crew. G42 was located on the Moe to Walhalla line in the states south-east. Water was carried in the front and rear tanks and also unusually, in a tank under the boiler. Locomotive has the NGG16A boiler unit but carried the standard British built unmodified power units off 142. The new locomotives were therefore delivered directly to the SAR in 1958. [, Entered service as "404". History [ edit] This 335hp diesel hydraulic locomotive was built for work in a diamond mine and was later used for cement traffic at Port Elizabeth, South Africa. The Afrikaans spelling conventions were changed from time to time in the early years. [1], Ejector pump efficiency depends on the length-to-diameter ratio of the exhaust chimney. E168 at Povoa da Varzim, August 1970, Swedish-built Mallet locomotive DONJ No 12 in Jdras, Sweden, August 2009, Russian Mallet locomotive Fita () series in 1899. Withdrawn from service in 2020, awaiting a replacement boiler for a new ten year ticket. 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. [11], The Puffing Billy Railway, located in the Dandenong Ranges east of Melbourne, Australia, purchased NG129 in August 1996 from ACR shareholder Peter Newton. [5], The Railways upgraded its service to diesel locomotives, under the leadership of B. D. Rampala in the mid 1950s. Australian Standard Garratt; B Category:Bagnall; Baldwin 608; Baldwin Class 10-12-D; Whereafter replacement locomotives were given the same number as the locomotive that they replaced with an "R" prefix; until such time as the old locomotive, now running with an "O" prefix, was finally withdrawn. On cabside number plates, the spelling of the Afrikaans inscription was later altered with "AFRIKANSE" changed to "AFRIKAANSE" and with "SUID AFRIKAANSE SPOORWE" unhyphenated, and stil later to "SUID-AFRIKAANSE SPOORWE" hyphenated. [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. On a Garratt, the boiler could literally be dimensioned up to the full cross section of the loading gauge. 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. NG/G16 127 the last steam locomotive to operate on the Alfred County Railway in South Africa is currently stored as delivered in 2011 inside the new Museum at Menzies Creek awaiting a decision date on its rebuilding to operate on 2'6" gauge. 143's bogies were both taken out of service and the loco ran on 138's bogies until it left service. As of March 2022, Sri Lanka does not have commercially operational electric locomotives or train sets. No. Locomotive is for sale. 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. But meanwhile in Garut - Cibatu in West Java, DKA ordered bigger 2-6-6-0 Mogul Mallets Like the extinct mallet tank Indonesian Railways CC10 Class and the even larger CC50 class along with the All extinct 2-8-8-0 Bull Moose like DD50 - 52 class. A Garratt is therefore a single locomotive with double the tractive effort and, with its weight distributed over a long and flexible multi-axle wheelbase, a lower axle loading. 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]. 155, was rebuilt in 1990, but it retained its traditional ex-SAR black livery. Heated and double glazed. Scrapped at Paddock, South Africa August 2017. One class P1 locomotive was at Viharamahadevi (Victoria) Amusement Park[14], S1S8 Diesel Hydraulic Multiple Units, S9S14, S14A Diesel Electric & Electro-Diesel Multiple Units. Operated mainly on the broad gauged. Work undertaken at Boston Lodge. [1][2], The seven Beyer, Peacock locomotives ordered by the Tsumeb Copper Corporation, numbers NG137 to NG143, were initially distributed between the Umzinto, Port Shepstone and Avontuur lines, but in 1964 the three that went to the Langkloof were also transferred to Natal. Sold to Sandstone in 2002. On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. The following locomotives are normally Ffestiniog Railway stock that have run on the WHR. This page was last edited on 2 January 2023, at 00:53. The deal also included 20 container carriers and 30 fuel tank wagons. 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. 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. Mechanical Dept. [2], The Cockerill locomotives, numbers NG85 to NG88, remained in Natal for most of their service lives. Having first moved under its own steam on 5 February 2021,[4] the locomotive hauled its first (private) passenger train on 30 April 2021. Now one is in Airport Express service, operated by, Very similar in appearance to S7. AL 0.400 - 110 hp [1], The modifications were similar in scope to that of the Red Devil, although not as extensive. [1][2][7], The Hunslet-Taylor locomotives, numbers NG149 to NG156, were placed in service on the Harding and Donnybrook branches in Natal in 1968. 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. NG129's restoration was planned to coincide with the next time that no. Only the boiler cradle and cab are today genuine 156. 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.

Similar to 2100, built at Boston Lodge. Converted from 2041, completed 2017. Sri Lanka's first railway locomotive was Leopold, in 1864. 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. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". [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. 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. After several years on light duties a new engine was fitted in October 1999. [1], The cost of the work paid off financially within twelve months and led to a proposal to develop a Class NG G17 Garratt. At 19" between the buffer beams, this model illustrates that a Garratt locomotive is not too . [4][14], Steam locomotives were used on regular services until the 1970s.[2][4]. 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)). Mallet proposed cross-compounding in which a conventional steam locomotive configuration would have one high-pressure cylinder and one low-pressure cylinder. [1][2][3], The third order was for a further seven locomotives in 1951, numbered in the range from NG125 to NG131, once again from Beyer, Peacock. [3], Mallet found typical main line railways were unwilling to adopt his ideas. The ACR was also known as the Banana Express from the tourism part of its operation. GM Detroit Diesel V16 engine. England Steamed once in April 2017 but as of October 2022 has not made any further progress to regular operation. Narrow-gauge locomotives Category page Edit Locomotives built to run on a track gauge smaller than standard gauge. [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. To accommodate the pivoting, the steam and exhaust pipes have flexible connections between the engine units and the central cradle. Entered service in 1997 in unlined dark green, then malachite green as of 2002 when it was named, withdrawn in late 2007 and stripped for 10 year boiler inspection. [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. A number of Mallets were constructed for the Nordhausen Wernigerode Eisenbahn, now part of the Harz Narrow Gauge Railways system in Germany. The first official train ran on April 30, 2017. [, Entered service as "403". Several others followed for railways in mainland Europe. In 2004 the locomotive was purchased by a member of the Lynton & Barnstaple Trust, who shipped it from Australia in 2005. Funded by the WHR Society. These ran mostly on 600mm (1ft11+58in) and 700mm (2ft3+916in) gauge networks. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2973, Beyer Peacock builders No.7622.

Challenger #3985 was the largest operational steam locomotive in the world until the restoration of UP 4014. No. The ASG was to be a suitable narrow gauge locomotive aimed at easing a chronic shortage of motive power on the various state 3'6" gauge systems, which was a result of the advent of World War 2. Caption 4. In service on newly refurbished bogies. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2979, Beyer Peacock builders No.7628. It initially remained there after the trials, while the other two went to the Stuartstown line in Natal, to be joined there by no. [9][10], In comparative testing, no. On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. Imported in two variants, one for run on commuter services and other run on long distance services. The last steam locomotive built for the South African Railways. In 1989 and 1990 two of these locomotives were rebuilt to Class NG G16A by the Alfred County Railway. In contrast to the rest of the Indonesian railways it has a gauge of 750mm (2ft5+12in), as to 1,067mm (3ft6in) for the rest of the Archipelago. Typically they feature horizontal bands of colour running their entire length and a solid colour on the front and back ends. Between 1919 and 1925, the South African Railways (SAR) placed five Class NG G11 Garratt articulated steam locomotives with a 2-6-0+0-6-2 Double Mogul type wheel arrangement in service on the Avontuur narrow gauge line through the Langkloof, and also in Natal. Ex South African Railways NG15 Class Unrestored. 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. Built in 1926, the Garratt locos almost had the tractive effort of a K Class, on a narrow gauge line. Moved from Paddock to Ixopo by December 2015 with the power units off 149. [, Entered service as "406". "Union Pacific Big Boy", an example of a simple Mallet. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". Constructed by Nippon Sharyo in Japan, they were the only Mallets built in Asia. Another De Winton is on display in the entrance to the WHR Caernarfon Station. [1], When the four narrow gauge branchline systems in Natal were closed down by the SAR, the Weenen and Mid-Illovo lines were torn up. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2974, Beyer Peacock builders No.7623. Specifications: Scale: 1:19; Dual gauge: 32/45mm These two were superheated and, as a result, had longer smokeboxes and were 9+12 inches (241 millimetres) longer in overall length. [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. [12], The other two were scrapped after being retired from SAR service. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". Locomotive 491 is truly a "Colorado original" having been built entirely in Colorado during the spring of 1928 through a cooperative effort between the Stearns-Roger Manufacturing Company of Denver and the D&RGW Denver Burnham Shops. Two 2-8-8-4 examples built in Russia in 195455 were probably the last Mallets built in Europe.[3]. Ex South African Railways NGG16 Class Garratt, green livery. Initially outshopped in photographic grey livery on completion in 2009 and was then painted into midnight blue livery from March 2010. This type is generally regarded as the largest steam locomotive in the world. 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. 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 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.

ABPF-SC (Brazilian Association for Railroad Preservation Santa Catarina branch) has restored a 2-6-6-2 Mallet to working order. Underwent a major restoration at Boston Lodge Works. [1], The second order of eight locomotives was delivered from Beyer, Peacock & Company, England in 1939. Total rebuild carried out including a new all-welded steel boiler and conversion to 2'6" gauge. Overhaul to operating condition stopped due to several factors. Locomotives and train sets of Sri Lanka Railways consist mostly of diesel locomotives and multiple units. Narrow gauge locomotives were numbered in the same list as broad gauge locomotives. between 1995 and 2002 with numbers RB1 to RB14. Typical for many locomotives is a livery that has thick horizontal bands of dark blue, light blue, silver and a yellow stripe. In terms of a prior agreement between the SAR and the Tsumeb Copper Corporation, the SAR would purchase any narrow gauge locomotives that would become redundant should the re-gauging of the SWA system take place. [1], As part of their strategy to keep the railway competitive, two of the ACR's Class NG G16 locomotives were rebuilt using technology similar to that used in the Cape gauge Class 26 Red Devil. [4], A powerful steam locomotive is problematic on a track gauge of only 2 feet (610 millimetres) with a tight minimum radius of about 150 feet (46 metres) which, in practice, restricts powerful rigid-frame locomotives to four-coupled wheels, often with at least one flangeless coupled wheelset. NG51 later. Collector's Series These kits are faithful depictions of classic narrow gauge designs, covering prototypes from 1'11" gauge (60cm) to 2'6". A Garratt locomotive is a locomotive with two separate engine units, useful for pulling a lot on tracks with a small curve radius like narrow gauge tracks or Lego tracks. Garratts may not be nearly as big as Big Boys, Yellowstones, Alleghenys, etc. It was planned to use them as tank-and-tender Garratts, semi-permanently attached to a water tender for use across the Namib desert in SWA, as was the practice with the Cape gauge Classes GM, GMA and GO tank-and-tender Garratts in South Africa. [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.
