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). As of September 2021 it hauls tourist trains on 5% grades.[18]. On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. Total rebuild carried out including a new all-welded steel boiler and conversion to 2'6" gauge. [13] and included one locomotive experimentally converted to electric traction. 143's bogies were both taken out of service and the loco ran on 138's bogies until it left service. Heated and double glazed. The Australian Standard Garratt (ASG) locomotive was designed by the Commonwealth Land Transport Board. First to be acquired was the Hanomag G 2x 3/3 0-6-6-0 No104. Mechanical Dept. 3450, have exactly this shape of chimney, but because of height constraints in large locomotives, their chimneys had to be doubled or even tripled to achieve the correct proportions, hence the double exhausts of the two Wardale locomotives. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2979, Beyer Peacock builders No.7628. 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. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". Arrived ex ship "Belnor". Typically the support bearing was placed beneath the smokebox, hollowed and with a sliding seal to provide a route for exhaust steam from the low-pressure cylinders to discharge through a blastpipe within the smoke box. In 2004 the locomotive was purchased by a member of the Lynton & Barnstaple Trust, who shipped it from Australia in 2005. Located in the former Humewood Road (Port Elizabeth) Narrow Gauge diesel depot in good external condition. Sold to Sandstone in 2002. [1] [2] Manufacturers [ edit] They were the first Garratt locomotives to enter service in South Africa. [, Entered service as "405". Arrived ex ship "Belnor". [9][10], In comparative testing, no. [1][2][8], Having been proved successful during trials, another two locomotives were ordered from Beyer, Peacock. 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trips to and from the docks until, after the arrival of the Class 91-000 diesel-electric locomotives in 1973, they were withdrawn from service in October 1974. Several others followed for railways in mainland Europe. HAL6DTI - 135 hp. 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). In 2009 the loco was displayed in Caernarfon town square to collect donations for the restoration of its sister loco, number 134. 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. Other basic elements of the locomotive remained more or less the same. 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. by two ordinary steam locomotives. Power cars are single-ended locomotives without passenger interiors. Chesapeake & Ohio 2-6-6-2 #1309, the last domestic steam locomotive built by Baldwin, was scheduled for restoration in September 2017. [1][2][8][9], With the GPCS, the coal is heated to drive off the volatile components which are then burned in the secondary air admitted above the grate. The BlonayChamby museum railway has two Mallets. [1][8], The rebuilding was done by mechanical engineer Phil Girdlestone, who was employed as Chief Mechanical Engineer of the ACR primarily for this purpose. At the time, the PCNGR was operating tourist excursion trains between Ixopo and Ncalu. 155, was rebuilt in 1990, but it retained its traditional ex-SAR black livery. When fleets of such locomotives appeared in the middle 1920s the trade press called them "Simple Mallets" i.e., simple locomotives articulated like Mallets. [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. 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. NG141 in 1989 and no. 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. [3][14], Beyer, Peacock and Company works picture of no. ucla prime cohort; h e b shortbread cookies. A development of carriages 2043, 2044 and 2045. 60 arrived via a low-loader back in July 2017 . The lower-pressure steam occupies a larger volume and the low-pressure (LP) cylinders are larger than the high-pressure cylinders. Entered service in plain black livery in 1998, but was due for boiler recertification in 2009. 15) and Beyer, Peacock & Company (nos. [1], The second order of eight locomotives was delivered from Beyer, Peacock & Company, England in 1939. [citation needed]. D&RGW Railroad Steam Locomotive No. 2644 and Class 26 no. In 1989 and 1990 two of these locomotives were rebuilt to Class NG G16A by the Alfred County Railway. G42 was to be withdrawn for major maintenance. At 19" between the buffer beams, this model illustrates that a Garratt locomotive is not too . GM Detroit Diesel V16 engine. Currently used as a mess coach on construction trains and as a reserve passenger brake vehicle. The ACR was also known as the Banana Express from the tourism part of its operation. [12], Narrow gauge locomotives were numbered in the same list as broad gauge locomotives. Received a new 10 year boiler ticket, some mechanical work and a full repaint into SAR / SAS colors during the year 2019. 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. Prior to this exchange, this carriage had been WHR No 24. The weight of the front part of the boiler was to be supported on an arc-shaped radial bearing. The first Mallet locomotive in the United States was Baltimore & Ohio Railroad number 2400, built by Alco in 1904. These three locomotives were not superheated. "The Ultimate Steam Page P.

Locomotive has the NGG16A boiler unit but carried the standard British built unmodified power units off 142. On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. The model represents the Garratt locomotives presently running on the Welsh Highland Railway. Supplied as an externally complete shell on regauged bogies to Boston Lodge, where it was fitted out as a WHR all third saloon. but they are still an impressive piece of machinery. [citation needed]. The first official train ran on April 30, 2017. [, Overturned near Cutana on "Broken Hill Express". Between 1937 and 1968, the South African Railways placed 34 Class NG G16 Garratt articulated 2-6-2+2-6-2 steam locomotives in service on the Avontuur Railway and on the Natal narrow gauge lines. Only 3 CC50 engines survived. This created the risk of the locomotive tilting over on tight curves. NG87 and Beyer, Peacock-built numbers NG130, NG138 and NG143, are used for operational purposes.

[8] The AT&SF also had a number of compound 2-10-10-2's, assembled in their own shops from existing 2-10-2's using a kit, supplied by Baldwin, consisting of the front 10-wheel frame and a boiler extension. 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. No. [1][5], Unlike tender locomotives, Garratts are bi-directional, which eliminates the need for turntables or triangles, also known as wyes. Although less obvious, both Wardale GPCS locomotives, Class 19D no. [, Entered service as "403". 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. Not in operation and the power cars were scrapped. 3985 is being restored to operating condition by the Railroading Heritage of Midwest America.[12][13]. 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. 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. On a Garratt, the boiler could literally be dimensioned up to the full cross section of the loading gauge. Not to be confused with the steam locomotive E1, this electric locomotive is not in commercial use. Power car is a single-ended locomotive without passenger interiors. [1], The modifications were similar in scope to that of the Red Devil, although not as extensive.

Collector's Series These kits are faithful depictions of classic narrow gauge designs, covering prototypes from 1'11" gauge (60cm) to 2'6". NG153. In the Dutch East Indies, now the Republic of Indonesia, several types and sizes remained in use into the 1980s. This created the risk of the locomotive tilting over on tight curves. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2976, Beyer Peacock builders No.7625. Norfolk & Western 2156 is the sole surviving Y6a, preserved at the National Museum of Transportation in St. Louis. Alternative solutions would either be double-heading longer trains or re-building and re-aligning large parts of the lines to accommodate heavier locomotives. Transferred Dinas, in August 1997 for use on reconstruction work. [3][4], Media related to South African Class NG G16 (2-6-2+2-6-2) at Wikimedia Commons. 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. [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. All trailer coaches are Air-conditioned Chiar cars. 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]. Note the clear exhausts in the picture below of numbers 141 and 155 double-heading on the climb from Bongwana to Nqabeni. 156 power units were cut up at Paddock in October 2017. Unrestored. 58 Rio Grande No. Altogether 34 more 2-6-2+2-6-2 Double Prairie type narrow gauge locomotives were built, spread over five orders from three manufacturers over a span of 32 years. It is one of a pair imported by the Ffestiniog Railway, the other (Vale of Ffestiniog) being re-bodied to fit the FR loading gauge. Several Mallets have been preserved, some in operational condition. The mill gave it the number 9 and used it to work sugar cane wagons in Innisfail district of Far North Queensland. CC 50 22, an early Dutch-built Indonesian Mallets has been returned to the Netherlands and is now exhibited in the Dutch Railway Museum but meanwhile, the other 2 like CC 50 01 is preserved in Transportation Museum in TMII and CC 50 29 is preserved in the Ambarawa Railway Museum. [5] Currently painted in a "Burrell Plum" livery.[6]. Operated mainly on the broad gauged. 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] In 1953, Sri Lanka Railways enhanced its service to more power with diesel locomotives. Two 2-8-8-4 examples built in Russia in 195455 were probably the last Mallets built in Europe.[3]. These new locomotives took over service on a 113-mile (182km) division; a single locomotive hauled 9,500 short tons (8,600t; 8,500 long tons) in five hours.[3]. Work undertaken at Boston Lodge. The term "Mallet" continued to be widely used for simple as well as compound locomotives. 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. Constructed by Nippon Sharyo in Japan, they were the only Mallets built in Asia. [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. [2][3][11], Of the first three locomotives, only no. Fitted with Pullman style armchairs. As a French-speaking Swiss, Mallet pronounced his name accordingly, something like "Ma-lay". 491 is the largest operating narrow gauge steam locomotive in the western hemisphere. In Canada, the Canadian Pacific Railway experimented with an unusual design of Mallet promoted by H.H. Operational after being overhauled in 2020. NG5 as yard shunter at Humewood Road. 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. & amp ; RGW Railroad steam locomotive built by Baldwin, was scheduled for restoration in September....
