In February 2020 it was announced that 141 would give up its 16A power units to make 155 whole with 141 being cosmetically restored at some point in time using available standard NG16 parts at Sandstone. As of January 2023, No. [2], The Cockerill locomotives, numbers NG85 to NG88, remained in Natal for most of their service lives. [1] In 1953, Sri Lanka Railways enhanced its service to more power with diesel locomotives. Became Ffestiniog Railway property (in exchange for three bogie wagons) in 1926. [6][7] These were unsuccessful, and later engines used conventional boilers. Arrived on the WHR 18 February 2010. 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]. They had outside plate frames, Walschaerts valve gear, Belpaire fireboxes and used saturated steam and slide valves. 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. On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. Out of service waiting for a general overhaul and replacement boiler (September 2022). [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. A development of carriages 2043, 2044 and 2045. Although less obvious, both Wardale GPCS locomotives, Class 19D no. On loan to Statfold Barn Railway. Some are not in use. 60 arrived via a low-loader back in July 2017 . WO6E1- 120 hp World War 2 put paid to the earlier locomotives and by the 1970s the lines were effectively dieselised and the surviving wartime GB and GC Garratts were reduced to menial duties. Converted to coal firing. [1], Ejector pump efficiency depends on the length-to-diameter ratio of the exhaust chimney. The last compound Mallets to remain in use on a major North American railroad were the N&W class Y6b 2-8-8-2 locomotives, retired in July 1959. Total rebuild carried out including a new all-welded steel boiler and conversion to 2'6" gauge. Alternative solutions would either be double-heading longer trains or re-building and re-aligning large parts of the lines to accommodate heavier locomotives. Narrow gauge locomotives were numbered in the same list as broad gauge locomotives. Steam locomotives were numbered from 1 upwards, reaching 161 in 1911. [1], The modifications were similar in scope to that of the Red Devil, although not as extensive. The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway introduced 25 simple (non-compound expansion) 2-8-8-2 locomotives in 1924 and 20 more in 1926. [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. 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. Although compounds had been considered obsolescent since the 1920s, C&O thought them appropriate, in the late 1940s, for low-speed coal-mine pickup runs converging on the classification yard at Russell, Kentucky. Mallets were employed in Brazilian 1,000mm (3ft3+38in) metre gauge, tight-radius railroads. 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. Nicknamed "Old Maude", it was a 0-6-6-0 weighing 334,500lb (151,700kg) and with axle loads of 60,000lb (27,000kg). On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. 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. [2], Ex South African Railways NGG16 Class Garratt. Several Mallets have been preserved, some in operational condition. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2982, Beyer Peacock builders No.7631. 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. 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. Engine units sent with 156 to Ixopo. 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. [1][2], Altogether 34 Class NG G16 2-6-2+2-6-2 locomotives were built for the South African Railways (SAR) between 1937 and 1968. gauge lines of the Bengal Nagpur Railway in India. England It was available in the WHR Edison Energy Green, No 138, Plain Black as No 143, or without plates in GWR Green with red lining, or in LMS Crimson Lake with yellow lining. The South African built 16A power units were cut up at Paddock October 2017. All are diesel hydraulic type except DLW locomotive which is diesel electric. MV 401[hu] was a (1B)B locomotive in service between 19051969 and MV 651[hu] 0-6-6-0 until 1962. All scrapped, Some were later fitted with small under-floor diesel units and were reclassified T2, Except one (571 Saskatchewan) all others are still in active service, M5A: Re-engined locally using MTU V12 in 1991; M5B: Re-engined locally using, Sub Class M8A: Only 2 locomotives were introduced. The work was carried out at Port Shepstone. The result is improved combustion, thereby minimising black smoke, which is evidence of incomplete combustion and unburnt coal particles being ejected through the exhaust. The first locomotives pulled trains on the original segment of the Main Line, on 54 kilometres (34 miles) connecting Colombo and Ambepussa. Power car is a single-ended locomotive without passenger interiors. The single surviving example of a cab-forward Mallet is Southern Pacific 4294, on display at the California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento, California. Between 1937 and 1968 the South African Railways placed 34 Class NG G16 2-6-2+2-6-2 Garratt articulated steam locomotives in service. From 2008 they have completely rebuilt it, including re-gauging it to 2ft6in (762mm) as additional capacity at a time of increasing passenger loadings. More pictures on the Patons County Photos page: NGG11-55 - Estcourt - TH-NGG11-55 - Estcourt - TH NGG11-55 - Port Elizabeth - JL - (KSC) . 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. 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. Sixteen "Beyer-Garratt" locomotives of the 4-8-0 + 0-8-4 type are in service on the 5 ft. 6 in. [1], The second locomotive, the Hunslet-Taylor-built no. These narrow gauge Garratts had boilers of 4feet 2inches (1,270 millimetres) inside diameter on a frame width of about 6feet 10+12inches (2,096 millimetres). M6 ICE locomotives have a unique ICE livery of brown and orange. [, Entered service as "405". Moreover, there were adhesion stability problems where the front engine tended to slip and then stall uncontrollably because of an imbalance of tractive effort and axle load, accentuated by the drawbar reaction, and inability of the intermediate steam receiver to accommodate the sudden pressure change. [1][2], After completion of the Otavi Railway's gauge widening by April 1961, a flood of Class NG15 locomotives from South West Africa swamped the Humewood Road depot in Port Elizabeth. [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). 155, was rebuilt in 1990, but it retained its traditional ex-SAR black livery. [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. In 1938, locomotives were reclassified, based on wheel arrangement and gauge. They were numbered in the range from NG109 to NG116. The DMUs are painted in various liveries, unique to their classes. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". Superheating also required alteration of the valve gear and piston valves were therefore used instead of slide valves. Withdrawn from service in 2020, awaiting a replacement boiler for a new ten year ticket. Main Page; All Pages; Community; . [2][4], These pre-war locomotives, like the earlier Class NG G13 locomotives, were built with riveted coal and water bunkers and with elliptical tops on the water tanks. 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. 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. Under construction at Boston Lodge. "The Ultimate Steam Page P.

All operational locomotives in the country today are broad gauge. 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. Like the Class 26, no. [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. It was one of seven 4-4-0 locomotives built that year for the Ceylon Government Railway by Robert Stephenson & Company (nos. Locomotives and train sets of Sri Lanka Railways consist mostly of diesel locomotives and multiple units. A third stage (triple expansion) may be employed. [1][2], The Beyer, Peacock locomotives ordered by the SAR, numbers NG109 to NG116 and NG125 to NG131, were shared more or less equally between the Natal and Langkloof lines. 141 in 1989. South African Railways and Harbours Narrow Gauge Locomotive Diagram Book, 2'0" Gauge, S.A.R. 729 ex demonstrator, ran as DR V150.001; imported 1970. Challenger #3985 was the largest operational steam locomotive in the world until the restoration of UP 4014. Converted from 2041, completed 2017. Power cars are single-ended locomotives without passenger interiors. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2977, Beyer Peacock builders No.7626. As weight and power and length increased, there were experiments with flexible boiler casings; from 1910 the Santa Fe road introduced jointed-boiler 2-6-6-2 locomotives weighing 392,000lb (178,000kg), with a 37 feet (11.28m) long boiler barrel, with a firetube reheater and a firetube feedwater section in front, each separated by a blank section, and variants of a telescopic or bellows type boiler casing. Operational after being overhauled in 2020. Typically they feature horizontal bands of colour running their entire length and a solid colour on the front and back ends. Garratts may not be nearly as big as Big Boys, Yellowstones, Alleghenys, etc. [2][3][11], Of the first three locomotives, only no. On postage stamps, for example, it was "Zuid Afrika" from 1913, "Suidafrika" from the airmail stamps of 1925 and hyphenated "Suid-Afrika" from 1933. Electrification has been proposed, to improve energy efficiency and sustainability.[9]. 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. Moved from Paddock to Ixopo by December 2015 with the power units off 149. [3], Although they had already been ordered in 1914, production was disrupted by the First World War. Several others followed for railways in mainland Europe. [5] Currently painted in a "Burrell Plum" livery.[6]. 346 Rio Grande No. Sri Lanka's locomotives have appeared in several different liveries over the years. This page was last edited on 2 January 2023, at 00:53. All but one remained there for the rest of their service lives until withdrawal by 1962. Transferred Dinas, in August 1997 for use on reconstruction work. Since then, the Railways have imported locomotives from Canada, Japan, West Germany, India, France, and China[6][7][8]. Rebuilt in 1989 to Class NGG16A, Privately owned by the Mortimer family, in very poor condition. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2981, Beyer Peacock builders No.7630. Either method was expensive and, in such conditions, the Garratt design had distinct advantages. Mallet proposed cross-compounding in which a conventional steam locomotive configuration would have one high-pressure cylinder and one low-pressure cylinder. Fully upholstered, heated and double glazed coach delivered to Dinas in September 1997 for the start of the Caernarfon service. [4][14], Steam locomotives were used on regular services until the 1970s.[2][4]. [, Entered service as "401". 23, re-establishing the division between FR and WHR stock in the combined stock list. [2] Since then, various types of diesel locomotives were added to the service. 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.

Not in use. Slightly shorter but even heavier and more powerful were 2-6-6-6s built by Lima for the C&O and the Virginian between 1941 and 1948, which weighed 778,000lb (353,000kg) and could produce up to 6,900 horsepower (5,100kW) at 45mph (72km/h). [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. [5], The Railways upgraded its service to diesel locomotives, under the leadership of B. D. Rampala in the mid 1950s. Prior to this exchange, this carriage had been WHR No 24. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2973, Beyer Peacock builders No.7622. This model is based on the beautiful South African NG G13 locomotive. The exhaust steam from these cylinders was fed into a low-pressure receiver and was then sent to low-pressure cylinders that powered the driving wheels on the swiveling bogie towards the front of locomotive.
