[10] The 1309 was also the last steam locomotive that Baldwin built for the North American market. This has been supplemented by later information as it became available. On December 17, 2021, C&O 1309 (now WMSR 1309) entered excursion service on the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad. The model represents the Garratt locomotives presently running on the Welsh Highland Railway. Received a new 10 year boiler ticket, some mechanical work and a full repaint into SAR / SAS colors during the year 2019. Purchased in summer 2009 for use on works trains from a private buyer. [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. 346 Rio Grande No. "New as they were, the last C&O steam engines never got adequate maintenance, lengthening the list of work needed to bring 1309 back to life. [1], The cost of the work paid off financially within twelve months and led to a proposal to develop a Class NG G17 Garratt. They were numbered in the range from NG109 to NG116.

The South African Railways Class NG G16 2-6-2+2-6-2 was a narrow gauge steam locomotive. The Puffing Billy Railway also purchased no. The locomotive has a Gardner 8LW diesel engine de-rated to 132hp. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2976, Beyer Peacock builders No.7625. Specifications: Scale: 1:19; Dual gauge: 32/45mm Underwent a major restoration at Boston Lodge Works. Not in operation and the power cars were scrapped. [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. Owned by Transnet Heritage Trust. Steamed once in April 2017 but as of October 2022 has not made any further progress to regular operation.

They had outside plate frames, Walschaerts valve gear, Belpaire fireboxes and used saturated steam and slide valves. 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. [3], Mallet found typical main line railways were unwilling to adopt his ideas. As a French-speaking Swiss, Mallet pronounced his name accordingly, something like "Ma-lay". On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. The last known fate of all the Class NG G16 locomotives, as of October 25th 2022, are shown in Table I. Porta. Unlike other diesels purchased by the Ffestiniog Railway Company and named bilingually after Northern Welsh castles, 'Castell Caernarfon' is named in Welsh only. The DMUs are painted in various liveries, unique to their classes. The BlonayChamby museum railway has two Mallets. Superheating also required alteration of the valve gear and piston valves were therefore used instead of slide valves. The ACR was also known as the Banana Express from the tourism part of its operation. [11] Several however, have now been cut up for scrap (see table below). These ran mostly on 600mm (1ft11+58in) and 700mm (2ft3+916in) gauge networks. Withdrawn in 2020 for a ten-yearly overhaul. One of the examples in Germany was the class of 0-8-8-0Ts built by Maffei for Bavarian State Railways between 1913 and 1923. Ordered by Sri Lanka Veneers & Plywood. Two 2-8-8-4 examples built in Russia in 195455 were probably the last Mallets built in Europe.[3]. The deal also included 20 container carriers and 30 fuel tank wagons. It would have been most interesting if Alco would have been able to sell a few Garratts to D&RGW for the narrow gauge lines. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2974, Beyer Peacock builders No.7623. More Pictures > 400 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. Challenger #3985 was the largest operational steam locomotive in the world until the restoration of UP 4014. 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. 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. [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. [2][3][4][5], The locomotives were superheated, with a superheater area of 14.9 square metres (160 square feet) and fifteen elements of 38 millimetres (1.5 inches) outside diameter and a 31 millimetres (1.2 inches) bore. Ex South African Railways NGG16 Class Garratt, green livery. Locomotives and train sets of Sri Lanka Railways consist mostly of diesel locomotives and multiple units. [citation needed]. 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. The first Mallet locomotive in the United States was Baltimore & Ohio Railroad number 2400, built by Alco in 1904. These six locomotives were ultimately the only articulated locomotives operated by a Canadian railway. 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. Since then, the Railways have imported locomotives from Canada, Japan, West Germany, India, France, and China[6][7][8]. Hitachi Tourist excursion train. In Canada, the Canadian Pacific Railway experimented with an unusual design of Mallet promoted by H.H. Scrapped at Paddock, South Africa October 2017. Moved from Paddock to Ixopo by December 2015 with the power units off 149. These narrow gauge Garratts had boilers of 4 feet 2 inches (1,270 millimetres) inside diameter on a frame width of about 6 feet 1012 inches (2,096 millimetres). Note: One class N2 locomotive was re-classified as Class E1 after fitting with Alstom pantographs, to be run under electric power. Drawing Office, Pretoria, 28 November 1932, South African Railways and Harbours Locomotive Diagram Book, 2'0" & 3'6" Gauge Steam Locomotives, 15 August 1941, as amended, South African National Railway And Steam Museum, "Technology in Australia 1788-1988, Chapter 7, page 460". Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2981, Beyer Peacock builders No.7630. On postage stamps, for example, it was "Zuid Afrika" from 1913, "Suidafrika" from the airmail stamps of 1925 and hyphenated "Suid-Afrika" from 1933. 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. 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. The final loco, Chesapeake and Ohio 1309, is preserved on the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad. NG55 was restored to full working order also at Bloemfontein for the Patons Country Narrow Gauge Railway (PCNGR) at Ixopo in Natal by 2005. "Societe Franco-Belge De Materiel Des Chemins De Fer Raismes, France" built 4-8-2+2-8-4 type narrow gauge Garratt steam locomotive. Trending pages Rio Grande No. [9][10][11], Since withdrawal from SAR service, some locomotives were sold to foreign railways and into private hands and restored to operational condition, while others ended up in various degrees of preservation ranging across the spectrum from running order to staging to total abandonment. In 1989 and 1990 two of these locomotives were rebuilt to Class NG G16A by the Alfred County Railway. 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. - last, Entered service as "407". [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. These locomotives were introduced in 1926 to increase train sizes and thus reduce losses on . Total rebuild carried out including a new all-welded steel boiler and conversion to 2'6" gauge. NG140, is used as a source of spare parts while four locomotives, Cockerill-built no. Only Garratt to do so. GM Detroit Diesel V16 engine. When fleets of such locomotives appeared in the middle 1920s the trade press called them "Simple Mallets" i.e., simple locomotives articulated like Mallets. [5], The Railways upgraded its service to diesel locomotives, under the leadership of B. D. Rampala in the mid 1950s. Ex South African Railways NG15 Class Unrestored. [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. This page was last edited on 2 January 2023, at 00:53. [2] Since then, various types of diesel locomotives were added to the service. Almost identical to, A small Simplex locomotive loaned to the WHR by Innogy that has been used on construction trains, particularly on the. [3], The London and North Western Railway locomotive engineer F W Webb adopted the idea and converted some existing locomotives in 1879, followed by de Glehn and others in the 1880s and several American engineers in the 1890s which included some vertical boiler railcar applications. A dedicated carriage containing toilet, guard's office and buffet store, similar to Carriage 124 on the Ffestiniog Railway. Coal fired. Various other liveries also exist. The first official train ran on April 30, 2017. To accommodate the pivoting, the steam and exhaust pipes have flexible connections between the engine units and the central cradle. It was still at Sandstone in July 2017, stored indoors in reasonable condition awaiting a THF decision on whether to leave it at Sandstone or return it to Humewood Road. Darjeeling Himalayan Railway D Class Beyer-Garratt [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. [. between 1995 and 2002 with numbers RB1 to RB14. Caption 4. Another 2 WDG4D locomotives are to be arrived. Power car is a single-ended locomotive without passenger interiors. [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. Built by Baguley as a 2ft gauge locomotive with the builders number 2395. Updated start of season 2020.[10]. "[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. On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". AL 0.400 - 110 hp [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. NG113 and Hunslet-Taylor-built no. 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). 6 and 7). Mallet development culminated in 1941 with the 4-8-8-4 Big Boy type on the Union Pacific railroad. [, Entered service as "405". Re-entered service in 2010 in crimson lake livery. This was further worsened by dynamic instability of the front end in running. 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. 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. Located in the former Humewood Road (Port Elizabeth) Narrow Gauge diesel depot in good external condition. [1], Ejector pump efficiency depends on the length-to-diameter ratio of the exhaust chimney. The South African Railways Class NG G16 2-6-2+2-6-2 was a narrow gauge steam locomotive. (There was a proposal, late in the steam era, for a 3'6" gauge East African Garratt which would have been a large locomotive even by U.S. standard . 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 . 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). Locomotive Wiki. 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. 491 is the largest operating narrow gauge steam locomotive in the western hemisphere. 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. As of September 2021 it hauls tourist trains on 5% grades.[18]. However this limited cater locomotives from SLR for some services. Scrap condition. Originally sponsored by Historic Houses Hotels Ltd, the proprietors of Bodysgallen Hall, hence the name Bodysgallen. Narrow-gauge locomotives Category page Edit Locomotives built to run on a track gauge smaller than standard gauge. 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. Built in 1926, the Garratt locos almost had the tractive effort of a K Class, on a narrow gauge line. The final Garratt locomotive built at Gorton works, South African Railways NG/G16 No.143 is also now at the Welsh Highland Railway. [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). 60 arrived via a low-loader back in July 2017 . 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. For all narrow gauge (3ft 6in/1067mm) steam locomotives. 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 air inlets contain swirl inducers to spread the incoming air inside the firebox. [, Entered service as "403". Transferred to Dinas in March by rail using the CTRL. The strongest Mallet locomotives in Europe were the members of the MV 601 which was built for the Hungarian State Railways, it was a 2-6-6-0 locomotive. In 1938, locomotives were reclassified, based on wheel arrangement and gauge. It was built for the Drewry Car Co, for Underhill Day & Co, for the South Johnstone Co-operative Sugar Milling Association in Australia. Entered service in plain black livery in 1998, but was due for boiler recertification in 2009. whilst the power units have been rebuilt at Dinas. These are Cockerill-built 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. Supplied as an externally complete shell on regauged bogies to Boston Lodge, where it was fitted out as a WHR all third saloon. 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. All trailer coaches are Air-conditioned Chiar cars. [6], Probably the greatest advantage of the Garratt was that, with its boiler and grate area suspended between two engine units without the need to leave room for coupled wheels and cylinders, wide and deep fireboxes with large grate areas and large diameter boilers were possible. The various Railbus units that are currently operated are not listed below. Several re-furbished and in operation. gauge lines of the Bengal Nagpur Railway in India. 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. [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 weight of the front part of the boiler was to be supported on an arc-shaped radial bearing. Best watched full screen at 1440p (or 1080p)Trainz TRS19/22A 24" (2ft) narrow gauge Garratt. 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. Fully upholstered, heated and double glazed coach delivered to Dinas in September 1997 for the start of the Caernarfon service. [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. Heated and double glazed. [1] [2] Manufacturers [ edit] Arrived ex ship "Belnor". They had flat-topped water tanks with rounded top side edges, and were the first NGG16s to have welded tanks. Not in use. Built by Societe Franco-Belge builders No.2982, Beyer Peacock builders No.7631. 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. Imported in two variants, one for run on commuter services and other run on long distance services. Several others followed for railways in mainland Europe. Produced in the CPR's Angus shops, road numbers 1950 to 1954 were outshopped between 1909 and 1911. Either method was expensive and, in such conditions, the Garratt design had distinct advantages. [1][2][3], The system of grouping narrow-gauge locomotives into classes was only adopted by the SAR somewhere between 1928 and 1930. 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. NG51, c. 1919, NG G11 no. But unlike the CC 50 class, all of the CC 10s & DD 50 -52s was sadly cut up for scrap. 3985 is being restored to operating condition by the Railroading Heritage of Midwest America.[12][13]. Only Garratt to get to Quorn [, Worked to Broken Hill. Purchased from Exmoor Steam Centre, who imported it to the UK. [citation needed], The Welsh Highland Railway in Wales has five Class NG G16 locomotives. Currently used as a mess coach on construction trains and as a reserve passenger brake vehicle. Transferred Dinas, in August 1997 for use on reconstruction work. Work undertaken at Boston Lodge. 15 Jones & Laughlin Steel No. Dragon emblems were later mounted on the cab sides and bunker ends. 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. Sixteen "Beyer-Garratt" locomotives of the 4-8-0 + 0-8-4 type are in service on the 5 ft. 6 in. Weighing 71.25 tons, they were initially used on the main quarry line until replaced by the diesel, later being used as shunters. NG51 was put on trials on the Avontuur line in May 1920. Unrestored, scrap condition. This page was last edited on 27 February 2023, at 16:41. 155, was rebuilt in 1990, but it retained its traditional ex-SAR black livery. 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. Funded by WHR Society. ABPF-SC (Brazilian Association for Railroad Preservation Santa Catarina branch) has restored a 2-6-6-2 Mallet to working order. 318 Denver & Rio Grande Southern No. Like the Class 26, no. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". Beyer-Peacock had stopped building steam locomotives after the last batch of Class NG G16 in 1958 and by 1968 they were in the process of closing the business altogether. Now in service. [12] Completion of no. Price: GBP80 plus GBP1.50 p+p in the UK. The work was carried out at Port Shepstone. Subsequent to the exchange, the number "24" was allocated to Ashbury "Corridor" No. emma watson speech ethos pathos logos; gambino crime family current boss; my natural insight login; abbie friedman jim snyder wedding [, Entered service as "401". NG141 in 1989 and no. [9][10], In comparative testing, no. 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. 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). 141 in 1989. List of Welsh Highland Railway rolling stock, Ffestiniog Railway locomotives used on the WHR, List of Welsh Highland Railway Ltd rolling stock, "Steam locomotive K1 to return to steam? [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. Sold to Sandstone in 2002. NG87 and Beyer, Peacock-built numbers NG130, NG138 and NG143, are used for operational purposes. NG155 in 1990, were reclassified to Class NG G16A. 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. Back in operation by April 2019 after a boiler retube. 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). Similar to Carriage 2010.The first coach built for the Caernarfon service, delivered to. Garratts may not be nearly as big as Big Boys, Yellowstones, Alleghenys, etc. Unrestored. [8], The Cockerill-built locomotives were delivered with bilingual cabside number plates inscribed "NG/G13" and with the older style Afrikaans "SUID AFRIKANSE SPOORWE" at the bottom. 20 All items (468) # A B C D E [1], In comparative testing, no. The following locomotives are normally Ffestiniog Railway stock that have run on the WHR. [3], Although they had already been ordered in 1914, production was disrupted by the First World War. [, Overturned near Cutana on "Broken Hill Express". [1], Other visible differences are larger mechanical lubricators and external drive from the valve spindle, a vacuum ejector exhaust muffler just in front of the safety valves, pipes conveying exhaust and ejector steam to the ashpan for mixing with the primary air, the secondary air inlets in the firebox sides with spark arresting plates outside them, and the snifting and bypass valves which were removed and blanked off since the modified locomotive drifted in mid-gear with steam supplied from the drifting valve. 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. [11], The two locomotives of the second order also served in Natal, ending up working on the branch from Estcourt to Weenen. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". [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. The first locomotive to undergo the treatment was the Beyer, Peacock-built no. 143 re-entered service in 2011 in green livery for the Fairlies, Garratts and Mallets competition. Arrived ex ship "Belnor". [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 cabs of the second order locomotives were also improved to offer better protection to the crew. [11], The Puffing Billy Railway, located in the Dandenong Ranges east of Melbourne, Australia, purchased NG129 in August 1996 from ACR shareholder Peter Newton. Garratt locomotives have two well spaced bogies on which are mounted the water . NG129's restoration was planned to coincide with the next time that no. [citation needed]. [, Entered service as "406". For the first time since arriving in Aberystwyth, Garratt NGG13 No. 2644 and Class 26 no. Some parts including the British built Hunslet boiler used to make 116 whole. Overhaul to operating condition stopped due to several factors. Nicknamed "Old Maude", it was a 0-6-6-0 weighing 334,500lb (151,700kg) and with axle loads of 60,000lb (27,000kg). [, Entered service as "402". NG141 achieved a fuel saving of 25% compared to a standard Class NG G16 Garratt, a performance which was easily maintained in regular service. After several years on light duties a new engine was fitted in October 1999. 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. [1][2][3][4], The challenges of Africa resulted in the regular need for double-heading of steam locomotives on heavy trains. Porta. Initially outshopped in photographic grey livery on completion in 2009 and was then painted into midnight blue livery from March 2010. This was the last narrow gauge line left in Sri Lanka, and its conversion to broad gauge put the fleet of narrow gauge locomotives out of use. 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.
