The locomotive is a fictional resin and modification by evilcro. These ran mostly on 600mm (1ft11+58in) and 700mm (2ft3+916in) gauge networks. The term "Mallet" continued to be widely used for simple as well as compound locomotives. 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. To accommodate the pivoting, the steam and exhaust pipes have flexible connections between the engine units and the central cradle. [3][4], Media related to South African Class NG G16 (2-6-2+2-6-2) at Wikimedia Commons. The single surviving example of a cab-forward Mallet is Southern Pacific 4294, on display at the California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento, California. The Mallet locomotive is a type of articulated steam railway locomotive, invented by the Swiss engineer Anatole Mallet (18371919). [3], Although they had already been ordered in 1914, production was disrupted by the First World War. It was built for the Drewry Car Co, for Underhill Day & Co, for the South Johnstone Co-operative Sugar Milling Association in Australia. Transferred to Dinas in March by rail using the CTRL. [5], The Railways upgraded its service to diesel locomotives, under the leadership of B. D. Rampala in the mid 1950s. The first locomotives pulled trains on the original segment of the Main Line, on 54 kilometres (34 miles) connecting Colombo and Ambepussa. [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. NG140, is used as a source of spare parts while four locomotives, Cockerill-built no. The units were unpopular with crews owing to frequent steam leakages and derailments resulting from the lack of pilot wheels. Extensive gallery of narrow gauge railway photos. [16], Another industrial type has been purchased and restored by the Statfold Barn Railway in the UK. Transferred to Dinas, in April 2000 for use as a stand-by on passenger engine. Porta. Narrow Gauge Garratt locomotives Herbert Garratt - and his Sandstone locomotives An iconic Sandstone scene. On a Garratt, the boiler could literally be dimensioned up to the full cross section of the loading gauge. [citation needed]. 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). Alternative solutions would either be double-heading longer trains or re-building and re-aligning large parts of the lines to accommodate heavier locomotives. Updated * 04-01-2008. . Diesel locomotives and multiple unit numbering started from 500 - an Armstrong Whitworth 122 hp 0-4-0 diesel-electric shunter delivered in 1934 [12] - and reached 840 in 1991. 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]. Not in use. These three locomotives were not superheated. 729 ex demonstrator, ran as DR V150.001; imported 1970. renato's palm beach happy hour Uncovering hot babes since 1919. Converted to coal firing. Another 2 WDG4D locomotives are to be arrived. Like the Class 26, no. 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]. 2644 and Class 26 no. 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. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2973, Beyer Peacock builders No.7622. Soul of A Railway, System 3: Cape Midland, based in Port Elizabeth, Part 4: Loerie to Assegaaibos. The cabs of the second order locomotives were also improved to offer better protection to the crew. The improvement in performance and economy of the locomotive was brought about by the higher grate limit by means of the GPCS and better flow past the improved valves, valve motion and exhaust. No. [2], Ex South African Railways NGG16 Class Garratt. Built in 1926, the Garratt locos almost had the tractive effort of a K Class, on a narrow gauge line. Ownership transferred to Paddock Motors (Derick Classen) after a court case to resolve unpaid storage fees. A new boiler has been constructed at the South Devon Railway (heritage railway) While West Africa found its solution in larger 4-6-2 Pacific and 2-8-2 Mikado locomotives at the beginning of the twentieth century, the steeper gradients and tighter curves in South Africa made a different solution necessary. 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). [2][3][4][5], In 1937, Socit Anonyme John Cockerill of Seraing in Belgium delivered four new 2-6-2+2-6-2 locomotives, numbered in the range from NG85 to NG88, which were so similar to the older locomotives that they were initially designated Class NG G13 as well. NG55 was stored in the open at Ixopo awaiting extensive boiler repairs. After retirement at the mine, it was preserved at the Museum of Man and Science in Johannesburg in 1974, then moved to the Klein Jukskei Motor Museum by 1981 and finally donated to the South African National Railway And Steam Museum (SANRASM). 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. Converted steam rail car in 1950. [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. [3] Many more steam locomotives were added to the system, through to the 1950s. Replacement for 2115 which is in need of an overhaul. 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. [citation needed]. It was one of seven 4-4-0 locomotives built that year for the Ceylon Government Railway by Robert Stephenson & Company (nos. These are Cockerill-built no. [, Worked to Quorn. Several re-furbished and in operation. Numbers 1 and 2: 2-6-0/0-6-2 Beyer Peacock Garratt acquired new in 1936/38. 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). One Mallet ran in New Zealand, and is preserved at Glenbrook Vintage Railway, Auckland. Purchased from Exmoor Steam Centre, who imported it to the UK. 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. Currently used as a mess coach on construction trains and as a reserve passenger brake vehicle. They were mechanically similar to the earlier and subsequent Class NG G16 locomotives, but with a revised coal and water carrying arrangement. [2][9][10], The first three locomotives were all working in Natal soon after entering service. Moved from Paddock to Ixopo by December 2015 with the power units off 149. On December 17, 2021, C&O 1309 (now WMSR 1309) entered excursion service on the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad. 491 is the largest operating narrow gauge steam locomotive in the western hemisphere. These were used in helper service in the Rockies and Selkirks. Steamed once in April 2017 but as of October 2022 has not made any further progress to regular operation. 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. The first locomotive to undergo the treatment was the Beyer, Peacock-built no. On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. 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. Mallet considered that the major advantage of this arrangement was that it enabled the cylinders on the truck to be fed with low-pressure steam: the high-pressure cylinders were on the fixed main frame and only low-pressure steam needed to be carried through movable pipes to the swivelling truck. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". whilst the power units have been rebuilt at Dinas. On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. The front of the locomotive articulated on a bogie. [1], The second locomotive, the Hunslet-Taylor-built no. NG55, 4 June 2005, NG G11 no. 23, re-establishing the division between FR and WHR stock in the combined stock list. 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. Ten-yearly overhaul was completed in 2020, with the locomotive now painted in South African Railways black with SAR/SAS logo on the coal bunker. The truck could therefore turn into a curve and move to some extent laterally. [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. NG153. Other basic elements of the locomotive remained more or less the same. 227, Lake County Historical Society Steam Locomotive No. For the first time since arriving in Aberystwyth, Garratt NGG13 No. This saw its first operation in Europe in 2011 and after initial trials on the owners' railway, was transferred to the Welsh Highland Railway as its power is better suited to that railway. The run to Devil's Bridge was part of testing at the narrow-gauge railway, which runs for 11 34 miles whilst visiting 9 stations and halts. by two ordinary steam locomotives. [2] Since then, various types of diesel locomotives were added to the service. Back in operation as of February 2020. 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. These two were superheated and, as a result, had longer smokeboxes and were 9+12 inches (241 millimetres) longer in overall length. Used also on civil engineering rosters. Articulated locomotive with compound steam power, Learn how and when to remove this template message, "Virginian 2-10-10-2 Locomotives of the USA", "Chesapeake & Ohio / Hocking Valley 2-6-6-2 "Mallet Mogul" Locomotives in the USA", "Steam Locomotive #110:: 1880 Train:: 2018 Season", "Railroading Heritage of Midwest America - official website", "Work begins on Union Pacific Challenger No. 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. 15) and Beyer, Peacock & Company (nos. Chesapeake & Ohio 2-6-6-2 #1309, the last domestic steam locomotive built by Baldwin, was scheduled for restoration in September 2017. The exhaust steam from these cylinders was fed into a . [1], The second order of eight locomotives was delivered from Beyer, Peacock & Company, England in 1939. [2][3][7], However, while the locomotives were being built, the decision was made to convert all the SWA narrow gauge lines to Cape gauge. [3] Manufacturer [ edit] Funded by a private donor. When fleets of such locomotives appeared in the middle 1920s the trade press called them "Simple Mallets" i.e., simple locomotives articulated like Mallets. [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. 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. Two 2-8-8-4 examples built in Russia in 195455 were probably the last Mallets built in Europe.[3]. No. On loan to Statfold Barn Railway. 0-4-4-0 metre gauge Mallet built by Maschinenbau-Gesellschaft Karlsruhe, operated commercially by the Zell im WiesentalTodtnau railway and as of 2021 preserved and still operating at the BlonayChamby museum railway. It was to become the first Garratt to enter SAR service. Main Page; All Pages; Community; . The South African Railways Class NG G16 2-6-2+2-6-2 was a narrow gauge steam locomotive. For all narrow gauge (3ft 6in/1067mm) steam locomotives. Engine units sent with 156 to Ixopo. One, no. M6 ICE locomotives have a unique ICE livery of brown and orange. Prior to this exchange, this carriage had been WHR No 24. 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. Purchased in 2014 from Exmoor Steam Railway by Steam Powered Services and currently owned by Peter Best. After first being steamed in September 2019 129, in November 2019 it underwent light engine and load testing.[14][15]. 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. HAL6DTI - 135 hp. NG113 and Hunslet-Taylor-built no. 6 and 7). [3], Mallet found typical main line railways were unwilling to adopt his ideas. Initially outshopped in photographic grey livery on completion in 2009 and was then painted into midnight blue livery from March 2010. The South African Railways Class NG G16 2-6-2+2-6-2 was a narrow gauge steam locomotive. [13], Both superheated locomotives still exist. Norfolk & Western 2156 is the sole surviving Y6a, preserved at the National Museum of Transportation in St. Louis. At that point, in spite of the difference between the two batches of 1919 and 1925, these five locomotives were all classified as Class NG G11, with the letters "NG" indicating narrow gauge and the "G" prefix to the classification number identifying it as a Garratt locomotive. A replica of an 1894 "Ashbury" NWNGR "Summer Coach". Work undertaken at Boston Lodge. They were numbered in the range from NG109 to NG116. All three, numbered in the range from NG51 to NG53, were erected at the Uitenhage workshops and no. [1] In 1953, Sri Lanka Railways enhanced its service to more power with diesel locomotives. Produced in the CPR's Angus shops, road numbers 1950 to 1954 were outshopped between 1909 and 1911. Independent cut-offs for the high-pressure and low-pressure cylinders were advocated by Mallet, but driving standards were inadequate and he later used combined cut-off control. [1], Ex South African Railways NGG 16 Class Garratt. Trending pages Rio Grande No. 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. [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. We will launch the first 20 of the re-issued Steam Railbus at EXPO NARROW GAUGE at Swanley on Oct 27th, 2007. [2][3][11], Of the first three locomotives, only no. The following locomotives are normally Ffestiniog Railway stock that have run on the WHR. A dedicated carriage containing toilet, guard's office and buffet store, similar to Carriage 124 on the Ffestiniog Railway. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". but they are still an impressive piece of machinery. [3][14], Beyer, Peacock and Company works picture of no. Specifications: Scale: 1:19; Dual gauge: 32/45mm Arrived ex ship "Belnor". Only Garratt to do so. [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. This page was last edited on 21 April 2022, at 19:32. Porta. 143's bogies were both taken out of service and the loco ran on 138's bogies until it left service. [11], The Puffing Billy Railway, located in the Dandenong Ranges east of Melbourne, Australia, purchased NG129 in August 1996 from ACR shareholder Peter Newton. The first official train ran on April 30, 2017. 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. Overhaul to operating condition stopped due to several factors. Sold to Sandstone in 2002. Entered service in plain black livery in 1998, but was due for boiler recertification in 2009. Arrived on the WHR 18 February 2010. [13] and included one locomotive experimentally converted to electric traction. More pictures on the Patons County Photos page: NGG11-55 - Estcourt - TH-NGG11-55 - Estcourt - TH NGG11-55 - Port Elizabeth - JL - (KSC) . 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. [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. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". [. These locomotives had an enlarged front water tank capacity, but carried no water in their rear bunkers which consequently had a larger coal capacity. [1], The modifications were similar in scope to that of the Red Devil, although not as extensive. As of January 2023, No. In September 2018, Sri Lankan Railway ordered 160 passenger coaches from India under $318M line of credit given by India. The American engineer W. S. Hudson patented a system of compounding for railway locomotives in 1873[1] in which he proposed an intermediate receiver surrounded by hot gas from the fire, so that the low-pressure steam is partly superheated. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". 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. It is currently in active service, and a spare boiler is being overhauled for it ahead of a planned overhaul in 2021/22. Both modified locomotives were reclassified to Class NG G16A. It was the first locomotive to be moved to Dinas, in January 1997. They still had elliptical tops on the water tanks and both tank and bunker were riveted as per the pre-war machines, however on the boiler the location of the safety valves, clack valves and main manifold (amongst other details) changed to what would become the standard for all remaining builds. [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. 482 Rio Grande No. No 23 returned to FR service in 1955 and full doors fitted in 1966. 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. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2978, Beyer Peacock builders No.7627.

The Mallet locomotive is a type of articulated steam railway locomotive, invented by the Swiss engineer Anatole Mallet (1837-1919).. Therefore, as the weight on the coupled wheels decreases, the locomotive has less adhesion and becomes increasingly prone to slipping. Challenger #3985 was the largest operational steam locomotive in the world until the restoration of UP 4014. Electrification has been proposed, to improve energy efficiency and sustainability.[9]. "[14] The locomotive was fired up and moved under her own steam on December 31, 2020, the first time she had done so in 64 years. The last known fate of all the Class NG G16 locomotives, as of October 25th 2022, are shown in Table I. Withdrawn in 2020 for a ten-yearly overhaul. Dragon emblems were later mounted on the cab sides and bunker ends. Narrow gauge locomotives like the Class NG G16, on the other hand, have plenty of height available for the exhaust, so a single long chimney was achievable. Caption 4. 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. Funded by the WHR Society. Mechanical Dept. Steam under pressure is converted into mechanical energy more efficiently if it is used in a compound engine; in such an engine steam from a boiler is used in high-pressure (HP) cylinders and then under reduced pressure in a second set of cylinders. [1][5], Unlike tender locomotives, Garratts are bi-directional, which eliminates the need for turntables or triangles, also known as wyes. [1], In comparative testing, no. 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. This page was last edited on 27 February 2023, at 16:41. 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. Typically they feature horizontal bands of colour running their entire length and a solid colour on the front and back ends. Note the clear exhausts in the picture below of numbers 141 and 155 double-heading on the climb from Bongwana to Nqabeni. Several units out of service shortly after introduction due to cost of spares and repair. Various other liveries also exist. [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. As a French-speaking Swiss, Mallet pronounced his name accordingly, something like "Ma-lay". [, Entered service as "404". By 2011 it was being restored and rebuilt in Bloemfontein. In 1931, three narrow-gauge Class NG15 locomotives with a 2-8-2 Mikado type wheel arrangement, similar in design to the existing Class Hd and Class NG5 locomotives, were acquired by the South African Railways for the Otavi Mining and Railway Company in South West Africa. [9][10], In comparative testing, no. These locomotives were introduced in 1926 to increase train sizes and thus reduce losses on . The two locomotives which received this treatment, no. 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. [1][2][3][4], The challenges of Africa resulted in the regular need for double-heading of steam locomotives on heavy trains. AbeBooks.com: Victorian Railways Narrow Gauge G Class - Garratts in the Otways - Part Two: 48 pages profusely illustrated colour photos - 48 pages profusely illustrated colour photos - cover spine rubbed - The G class Garratt locomotives were built for the Victorian Railways 2' 6" gauge branch lines. Withdrawn from service in 2020, awaiting a replacement boiler for a new ten year ticket. In service on newly refurbished bogies. This has been supplemented by later information as it became available. [12] Completion of no. Some other diesel locomotives (typically shunters) are available and operated in Sri Lanka other than the locomotives and shunters owned by Sri Lanka Railways. 155, was rebuilt in 1990, but it retained its traditional ex-SAR black livery. Became Ffestiniog Railway property (in exchange for three bogie wagons) in 1926. 3985 is being restored to operating condition by the Railroading Heritage of Midwest America.[12][13]. [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. On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. 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. Since then, the Railways have imported locomotives from Canada, Japan, West Germany, India, France, and China[6][7][8]. Running numbers 99 5901-3 and 99 5906 are in working order. Garratt locomotives have two well spaced bogies on which are mounted the water . [5] Received negatively at first due to speed limitation arising from the short wheelbase and stiff suspension, it gained support during service, and it was soon followed by Baldwin examples, and then steadily heavier and more powerful successors. Refurbished in 2002 and returned to the WHR. In Canada, the Canadian Pacific Railway experimented with an unusual design of Mallet promoted by H.H. The air inlets contain swirl inducers to spread the incoming air inside the firebox. NG129's restoration was planned to coincide with the next time that no. [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. In the Dutch East Indies, now the Republic of Indonesia, several types and sizes remained in use into the 1980s. [13] This gave them a second almost-complete Class NG G16 which will possibly also be totally rebuilt in the future. Power car is a single-ended locomotive without passenger interiors. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". 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. These are the most powerful narrow gauge locos in the world, which is necessary to cope with the hard gradients of up to 1 in 40 along the line pulling up to 12 coaches. Locomotive is for sale. G42 was to be withdrawn for major maintenance. Two NGG16's working against the background of the Maluti Mountains. Almost identical to, A small Simplex locomotive loaned to the WHR by Innogy that has been used on construction trains, particularly on the. 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. The use of a Garratt locomotive enables the capacity of a line to be approximately doubled without having to strengthen the track, bridges and culverts, or re-align the curvature. Sub class M10A was introduced in 2013 which is a technical variant. In 2010 it was acquired by Sandstone Estates. Mallets were employed in Brazilian 1,000mm (3ft3+38in) metre gauge, tight-radius railroads. NG88, Beyer, Peacock-built no. In addition, the articulated design of the earlier models, as well as the most powerful, the 1956 model locomotive with its 4-8-2+2-8-4 axle arrangement, enabled it . All operational locomotives in the country today are broad gauge. [1], The cost of the work paid off financially within twelve months and led to a proposal to develop a Class NG G17 Garratt. Located in the former Humewood Road (Port Elizabeth) Narrow Gauge diesel depot in good external condition. [11], The two locomotives of the second order also served in Natal, ending up working on the branch from Estcourt to Weenen. All are diesel hydraulic type except DLW locomotive which is diesel electric. 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.
