Garratt Live Steam 71/4"

[@grahamsengineering.2532]

Wow congratulations from one Live Steamer to another, you guys have outdone yourselves with the detail that you have put into this beautiful machine. Outstanding. Graham from Brisbane Live Steamers, Queensland Australia.

[@donotwantahandle1111]

Why am I just seeing this beautiful Garratt now?

[@paulmontagner6360]

That is a work of metal art very nice loco

[@Hornhausen]

Sehr eindrucksvoll.

[@swelltogreat6579]

Dit was pragtig! Dankie, mense.

[@andrewscubes2147]

The parts that connect to the side rods and wheels have such good paintwork that they look like plastic

Based on a 2 foot gauge South African prototype Class NGG 16 (Narrow Gauge Garratt). 1-C-1 + 1-C-1 Prototype perhaps by Bayer, Peacock, UK; but more probably from Franco-Belge.

[@tacfoley4443]

The prototype for this loco was built by Hanomag - Hannoverische Maschinenbau AG - under licence.

PS Love the beautiful Pipe Work.

This is pure madness! perhaps the largest size model you can get in any track gauge up to 7 1/4" , except maybe for a Big Boy or GL class Garratt on the same track gauge, altough they would be smaller in scale due to the wider track gauge the originals have. But anyway, beautifull crafted model, I saw a lot of cast parts, there where just a few compromises to operatability and safety, like the use of air brakes instead of vacuum brakes (maybe a requirement of the railway where it is going to operate), sitting space in the coal bunker and the placement of some of the controls in the cab for ease of access and control. Most other things are exactly replicated from the original. Owning one is just a dream for most of us, l fear, but I will already be very happy when I finish my On30 one.

I don´t know whether it is a rumour or not but I was told that this lovely engine is now sat in the engine shed of the Swiss Vapeur Parc at Le Bouveret and working at their line

[@foreversteam]

Wonderful!! Hope we can see it on the ground and running!

[@jeanclaudevanhaezebroeck8828]

👍👍👍❤️❤️

[@febredacanaoficialbruninho2793]

Impressionante 👏👏👏

[@swelltogreat6579]

We have a narrow gauge garrat like this in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. The locomotive is black.

Original NG BG were 1930s Hanoverische ( Hanomag), followed by John Cockerill ( Belgium) and Beyer Peacock 1939 and Post War. Doc AV

Great video!

[@ronniescott5179]

PERFECTION

[@robertolamalfa1398]

SUPER MODEL LOCOMOTIV 👍

[@billystock3121]

very nice engine!

[@jandrasch]

Auf welcher Anlage und wo, kann man diese wunderbare Maschine in Betrieb sehen und bestaunen??

[@gabrielmartinez919]

Outstanding work!!! I would sell my house just to own one of these beautiful engines. Do you guys have a website where I can read more of this engine?. Thanks a lot!

[@andrewscubes2147]

Gabriel Martinez don’t think your house will be enough. Especially for maintaining the engine, getting fuel, and buying, assembling, and maintaining the track

[@GarrattHamster]

Out of intersted. what is the bore and stroke of this garratt.

[@andrewscubes2147]

All my life (12yrs) I’ve wanted to be an engine driver. I think it would be better to start with an engine this gauge instead of standard gauge.

[@peterpinkert3173]

Was kostet so eine Lok?

[@kinofund]

Hallo, da musst du die Balson AG in Stein am Rhein ch anfragen.

Я хочу такой паровоз который едет на улице чтобы катать детей по парку

[@chucksteward2615]

I don't understand where foreigners get off thinking they can put their blogs on u.s. internet without translating to English go home and do your homework. that means if want to come back, then speak English. I liked the video about model trains, too bad it wasn't in English so that I could have enjoyed it more. youtube sucks as they shouldn't have allowed it to air without at least English subtitles.
