The Tasmanian Government Railways J class was a one locomotive class of 2-6-4-0T steam locomotives operated by the Tasmanian Government Railways. It was known as Hagan's Patent.
To operate trains on the North East Dundas Tramway, the Tasmanian Government Railways purchased a locomotive from Maschinenfabrik Christian Hagans, Erfurt in 1901. The locomotive had an articulated 2-6-4-0 wheel arrangement. Its weight played havoc with the light rails it ran over and in 1910 it was replaced by the K class. [1] [2] [3]
A Garratt is a type of steam locomotive invented by British engineer Herbert William Garratt that is articulated into three parts. Its boiler, firebox and cab are mounted on a centre frame or "bridge". The two other parts, one at each end, have a pivot to support the central frame; they consist of a steam engine unit – with driving wheels, trailing wheels, valve gear and cylinders – and, above it, fuel and/or water storage.
The North East Dundas Tramway (NEDT) was a 2 ft narrow gauge tramway on West Coast Tasmania that ran between Zeehan and Deep Lead. It was part of Tasmanian Government Railways. The world's first Garratt locomotives TGR K Class were used on the line, as were two G Class 0-4-2T engines built by Sharp-Stewart of Glasgow in 1896 and a massive 'J Class' 2-6-4-0T articulated locomotive manufactured by Hagans of Erfurt in 1900.
The Tasmanian Government Railways K class was a class of 0-4-0+0-4-0 Garratt articulated steam locomotives operated by the Tasmanian Government Railways from 1909 – the first Garratt locomotives built.
The Australian Standard Garratt (ASG) was a Garratt steam locomotive designed in Australia during World War II, and used on 3 ft 6 in narrow gauge railway systems in Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia and Tasmania.
Under the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives by wheel arrangement, the 0-4-0+0-4-0 is an articulated locomotive of the Garratt type. The wheel arrangement is effectively two 0-4-0 locomotives operating back-to-back or face-to-face, with the boiler and cab suspended between the two power units. Each power unit has no leading wheels, four powered and coupled driving wheels on two axles and no trailing wheels. A similar arrangement exists for Mallet and Meyer locomotives, but is referred to as 0-4-4-0.
The Tasmanian Government Railways G class was a class of 0-4-2T steam locomotives operated by the Tasmanian Government Railways.
The Tasmanian Government Railways M class was a class of 4-6-2 steam locomotives operated by the Tasmanian Government Railways.
The Emu Bay Railway was an Australian railway company. Listed on the Melbourne Stock Exchange, it operated the Melba Line on the West Coast of Tasmania from 1897 until 1998.
The South Australian Railways T class was a class of 4-8-0 steam locomotives operated by the South Australian Railways.
The South Australian Railways Y class was a class of narrow gauge steam locomotives operated by the South Australian Railways.
The WAGR G class was a class of steam locomotives operated by the Western Australian Government Railways (WAGR) from 1889. The class's wheel arrangement varied; the first 24 were 2-6-0s and the last 24 4-6-0s.
The Tasmanian Government Railways A class was a class of 4-4-0 steam locomotives operated by the Tasmanian Government Railways.
The Tasmanian Government Railways B class was a class of 4-4-0 steam locomotives operated by the Tasmanian Government Railways.
The Tasmanian Government Railways C class was a class of 2-6-0 steam locomotives operated by the Tasmanian Government Railways.
The Tasmanian Government Railways H class was a class of 0-4-0WT steam locomotives operated by the Tasmanian Government Railways.
The Tasmanian Government Railways H class was a class of 4-8-2 steam locomotives operated by the Tasmanian Government Railways.
The Tasmanian Government Railways L class was a class of 2-6-2+2-6-2 Garratt steam locomotives operated by the Tasmanian Government Railways.
The Tasmanian Government Railways M class was a class of 4-4-2+2-4-4 Garratt steam locomotives operated by the Tasmanian Government Railways.
The Tasmanian Government Railways Q class was a class of 4-8-2 steam locomotives operated by the Tasmanian Government Railways.
The Tasmanian Government Railways R class was a class of 4-6-2 steam locomotives operated by the Tasmanian Government Railways.
