The original source of information for this table was the: "Rheilffordd Eryri - Welsh Highland Railway Traveller's Guide" published by the Ffestiniog Railway Company in 2002. [4][14], Steam locomotives were used on regular services until the 1970s.[2][4]. 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. (Under licence to Beyer Peacock & Co. - Manchester, England), Entered service as "400". Fully upholstered, heated and double glazed coach with double doors for wheelchair access, sponsored by First Hydro and delivered to Dinas in September 1997 for the start of the Caernarfon service. A replica of an 1894 "Ashbury" NWNGR "Summer Coach". - last, Entered service as "407". Some parts including the British built Hunslet boiler used to make 116 whole. Smaller Mallets were used by plantations and other industries, all of the 0-4-4-0 type. [13] and included one locomotive experimentally converted to electric traction. Weighing 71.25 tons, they were initially used on the main quarry line until replaced by the diesel, later being used as shunters. England [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. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". Out of service waiting for a general overhaul and replacement boiler (September 2022). 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. The work was carried out at Port Shepstone. The first locomotive to undergo the treatment was the Beyer, Peacock-built no. It was one of seven 4-4-0 locomotives built that year for the Ceylon Government Railway by Robert Stephenson & Company (nos. Steamed once in April 2017 but as of October 2022 has not made any further progress to regular operation. 7. The weight of the front part of the boiler was to be supported on an arc-shaped radial bearing. [2][9][10], The first three locomotives were all working in Natal soon after entering service. Engine units sent with 156 to Ixopo. Sri Lanka's first railway locomotive was Leopold, in 1864. They weighed 760,000 to 772,000lb (345,000 to 350,000kg) with a 434,000lb (197,000kg) tender; at 133 feet (40.54m) long (including the tender), they could only be turned on a few of the system's turntables. The South African Railways Class NG G16 2-6-2+2-6-2 was a narrow gauge steam locomotive. In 1989 and 1990 two of these locomotives were rebuilt to Class NG G16A by the Alfred County Railway. 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. . No 23 returned to FR service in 1955 and full doors fitted in 1966. NG51 later. NG141 in 1989 and no. Although it had found early favor in Europe, especially on lightly engineered railways, the Mallet type was generally superseded by the Garratt locomotive by the mid-1920s. Currently used as a mess coach on construction trains and as a reserve passenger brake vehicle. Locomotive is for sale.

Only the boiler cradle and cab are today genuine 156. [1], A Garratt is actually two separate locomotives combined in a double articulated format, thereby providing multiple powered axles over which the total locomotive weight is spread. Ex South African Railways NGG16 Class Garratt, green livery. Narrow gauge locomotives were numbered in the same list as broad gauge locomotives. [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. These ran mostly on 600mm (1ft11+58in) and 700mm (2ft3+916in) gauge networks. Unrestored, scrap condition. Both modified locomotives were reclassified to Class NG G16A. [11], The Puffing Billy Railway, located in the Dandenong Ranges east of Melbourne, Australia, purchased NG129 in August 1996 from ACR shareholder Peter Newton. 491 is the largest operating narrow gauge steam locomotive in the western hemisphere. 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. Transferred Dinas, in August 1997 for use on reconstruction work. Lease lend to the Apple Express Organization. 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. Converted from 2041, completed 2017. [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. Running numbers 99 5901-3 and 99 5906 are in working order. Coal fired. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". The deal also included 20 container carriers and 30 fuel tank wagons. 60 arrived via a low-loader back in July 2017 . 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. Ownership transferred to Paddock Motors (Derick Classen) after a court case to resolve unpaid storage fees. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2980, Beyer Peacock builders No.7629. [10] This system was abandoned in 1928,[10] with new locomotives being numbered from 249 upwards,[11] and reaching 336 by 1940, and 362 in 1951 when the last steam locomotive a 4-8-0 from WG Bagnall was delivered. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2978, Beyer Peacock builders No.7627. Sold to Welshpool and Llanfair Railway in 1962 and to the Ffestiniog Railway in 1968 and re-gauged. Diesel locomotives of Sri Lanka Railway are categorized into several classes and their sub classes. They had outside plate frames, Walschaerts valve gear, Belpaire fireboxes and used saturated steam and slide valves. Subsequent to the exchange, the number "24" was allocated to Ashbury "Corridor" No. 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. 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. [, Entered service as "405". Notable locomotives was the last remaining Australian Standard Garratt and the narrow gauge Clyde-GM G-8 numbered D1. 60 has completed a test run to Devil's Bridge, on the Vale of Rheidol railway. 30 of MV 422[hu] 0-4-4-0 were built between 18981902 (the last one served until 1958). 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. 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. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". 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. Power outputs of over 700 indicated horsepower was achieved and the locomotive was probably capable of achieving a maximum of 800 indicated horsepower, some 25% more than the Class 91-000 narrow gauge diesel-electric locomotive. [2] In 1953, the first locomotives from British builder Brush Bagnall were imported. All operational locomotives in the country today are broad gauge. [, Entered service as "403". It hauls tourist steam trains on 3% grades. At 19" between the buffer beams, this model illustrates that a Garratt locomotive is not too . Some are not in use. All are diesel hydraulic type except DLW locomotive which is diesel electric. Another De Winton is on display in the entrance to the WHR Caernarfon Station. NG127 from Peter Newton in November 2011.
