It's more than I could, too. I should have put in a chuckling smiley face, like this, :hehe:.
Holy frickin' smokes, Daniel! That's AMAZING!

Garretts are pretty cool looking, and an interesting concept for bi-directional operation! Too bad they never really caught on over here.
Cape gauge is 3' 6" right? It is 3' 6" gauge but not South African...This is a special request by one M. Gitsham; a Queensland Railways garratt. It'll be a brute when it's done...
Quite so Daniel; looking rather resplendent; it should be known that this engine is STILL the most powerful, biggest and heaviest locomotive that has ever been in used on the Queensland Railways System to date. Weighing up to 137tons. These engines were known to pull 150 VJM 4 wheel coal hoppers without assistance and loads double that of the conventional C17.
It should be mentioned that 2015, is the 150th Anniversary of the foundation of the Queensland Railways, without the Garratt locomotives, we would not have modernised the system were we are today. Some tie in information.
In July 31st 1949, the Labour Queensland Government under Premier Hanlon approved the order of the locomotives - Courier Mail, RHQ Archives
Beyer Peacock produced a film on the Queensland Railway Beyer Garratts on behalf of the Railways Department;
Even the Rockhampton Morning Bulletin celebrated the introduction of the locomotives from the RHQ Archives.
With Regards,
M.Gitsham

It's great to see another garratt been made. It would be very nice if anyone would do South African engines in cape gauge. and if anyone would like to. I have work's drawing's and some other drawing's as well. but back to the Trainboi garratt. that will beuty when done. Can't wait to see more of that in the future.
Edh6, you are correct in your assumption as I do own a set of CME Drawings for the QR Beyer Garratt dated 1950 which are original from Beyer Peacock; which was handed to Chief Mechanical Engineer; E.C.Hall by representatives of Beyer Peacock at the commissioning of Beyer Garratt 1009. Examining closely the two designs, the South Australian Railways 400 class shared design traits from the QR Beyer Garratt only with minor details but the SAR 400 class was slightly heavier in weight, smaller in size, had no buffers and burned oil. The QR Beyer Garratt locomotives were ordered in 1949 but were built in a batch of 30 - The first ten engines were constructed at Beyer Peacock & Co Limited Works in Manchester UK. Owing to the number of orders they had on hand, Beyer Peacock (BP) contracted Societe Franco Belge de Materiel du Chemins de fer, Raismes, France (FRB)to build the remaining twenty. Where as the SAR 400 were built in a batch of 10 from 1952-1953 by Societe Franco Belge de Materiel du Chemins de fer, Raismes, France (FRB) under licence of Beyer Peacock under Gorton Works orders.

I'm trying to save my money for the Chattanooga - Attalla mainline excursion coming in March. But if I have any leftover money, this, NKP 765, the C&O Kanawha and The Cincinnatian are going to find their way onto my roster. Though not at the same time.
As for the Garratts, I would think they would find their niche in the narrow gauge railways of the Rockies. Seeing a 2-8-2+2-8-2 Garratt challenging the San Juan Mountains to reach Cumbres Pass would be really impressive.

Loving the L&M loco Ed - the route is currently on hold for life reasons but I'll be sure to give it run when it is finished!
Have you downloaded my Vale of Dyffryn route? It's a freelance narrow gauge route designed with your freelance locos in mind, it is available from the thread "Two New Narrow Gauge routes" on this forum.

Not really. Would also be break the tracks.
