Beyer - Garratt Locomotives (1925 Beyer, Peacock & Company Garratt Catalog - Reprint)
Stock #: KB10841
Author: Beyer, Peacock & Company

List Price: $18.95
Karen's Price: $17.95

The Garratt articulated locomotive was developed by Herbert William Garratt, a British locomotive engineer who, after a career with British Colonial Railways, was the New South Wales Railways’ inspecting engineer in London. He first applied for a patent on the idea in 1907, after observing articulated gun carriages.

In 1907, Beyer, Peacock & Co. submitted a proposal for a 2 foot (610 mm) gauge 0-4-0+0-4-0 Garratt to the New South Wales Government Railways. The following year a design for a 2 foot gauge Mallet locomotive was submitted to the Government of Tasmania. This was followed with a submission for a Garratt based on, but a little heavier than, the New South Wales proposal. This proposal was accepted, and two locomotives were built in 1909, which became the K Class. The K Class had to cope with 99’ radius curves and 1 in 25 gradients. This book shows Garrett locomotives that were delivered to the Argentine North-Eastern Railway, Burma Railways, Benguella Railway, Indian State Railway, London & North-Eastern Railway, Mauritius Government Railways, Rhodesia Railways, South African Railways and the Victorian Government Railways, along others.

Big Critters
Stock #: 17845
Author: James S. Eakin

SOLD OUT

While "Big Critters" may seem a bit contradictory, what is examined are the larger trucked, internal combustion locomotives built by the smaller manufactures. The bigger mnufactures like ALCO, Baldwin or EMD are not covered, but G.E. built locomotives are covered. This book focuses on those used by industry, shortlines and government agencies.  Many were created to allow one man operation, hence the 44 - 45 ton weights.  Nearly 70 years of history is compressed into these pages. Covered are locomotives from Atlas, Brookville, Davenport, G.E., Plymouth, Porter, Vulcan, Whitcomb and conversions.  Soft cover.
