Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox steam wheel arrangement

Under the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives by wheel arrangement, the Шаблон:Nowrap is a Garratt articulated locomotive. The wheel arrangement is effectively two 4-8-0 locomotives operating back to back, with the boiler and cab suspended between the two engine units. Each engine unit has two pairs of leading wheels in a leading bogie, followed by four coupled pairs of driving wheels and no trailing wheels. A similar wheel arrangement exists for the Union Pacific Big Boy, but is referred to as 4-8-8-4 since only the front engine unit swivels.

Overview

The Шаблон:Nowrap was the fifth rarest Garratt wheel arrangement, with a total of 26 locomotives constructed.

Usage

All the 4-8-0+0-8-4 Garratts were built by Beyer, Peacock & Company for the Шаблон:RailGauge gauge Bengal Nagpur Railway in India. The first 16 were designated Class N and were delivered in 1929, while 10 more arrived in 1931 and were designated class NM. The locomotives had Belpaire fireboxes and piston valves.[1]

Two of the type survive, both of Class N. No. 811 is staged at Kharagpur Workshop, while no. 815 is on display at the National Rail Museum, New Delhi.[2]
