BNR Garratt 815 (During Restoration)

A Garratt (also known as Beyer-Garratt) is a type of powerful Steam locomotive that is articulated in three parts. Its boiler is mounted on the centre frame, and two steam engines are mounted on separate frames, one on each end of the boiler.

Articulation permits larger locomotives to negotiate curves and lighter rails that might restrict large rigid-framed locomotives. Many Garratt designs aimed to double the power of the largest conventional locomotives operating on their railways, thus reducing the need for multiple locomotives and crews.

The process of restoration aim was to preserve and reveal the historic value of locomotive and safeguarding of the railway heritage.
