NG88, Beyer, Peacock-built no. The Garratt proved the superior locomotive in all regards. They were also designed to be easily converted for service on either the broad or standard gauge. The principal benefit of the Garratt design is that the boiler and firebox unit are slung between the two engine units. However, particularly in the 1920s, the traffic generated by the narrow-gauge lines was appreciated by the railways and the lines survived for up to 60 years before closure. The 30.5-mile (49.1km) line was built as a narrow-gauge line because it was thought that it might be extended into the mountainous country to the south, but this extension never happened. [45] Their eight cylinders proved a nightmare to maintain, and after several fatal and disastrous derailments in the late 1920s, mainly due to inadequate trackwork, they were withdrawn and scrapped. The company incorporated their former business Marches Models, best known for supplying British narrow gauge live steam locomotives for gauges 'O' and '1. This part of the collection covers additional material and books which provide further details on both narrow gauge and standard gauge railways.

Re-entered service in October 2022 after overhaul and the fitting of a Hunslet built boiler shipped from Australia ex 129. A weakness was the Union Garratts' extended boiler frames and the position of the bunker and hind water tank on those frames; the South African Railways U and GH classes had much heavier axle-loadings than Garratts of comparable size, weight, and power, and wear on the hind pivot was severe. In total the event saw 11 locomotives in action comprising Beyer-Garratt NG/G16 Nos. The locomotives weigh 36 long tons (36.6t; 40.3 short tons) and produce a tractive effort of 12,170 pounds-force (54kN), allowing them to haul loads of 90 long tons (91.4t; 100.8 short tons) up grades of 1 in 30 (3.33%). A range of passenger and goods vehicles were also built at Newport or by contractors.

Crowes, the terminus of the line, was the most southerly railway station on the Australian mainland. They still had elliptical tops on the water tanks and both tank and bunker were riveted as per the pre-war machines, however on the boiler the location of the safety valves, clack valves and main manifold (amongst other details) changed to what would become the standard for all remaining builds. The following year a design for a 2ft gauge Mallet locomotive was submitted in reply to an enquiry from the Government of Tasmania. In considering the McDonald's Track and Poowong East Districts together, the committee also examined shorter routes from the existing Thorpdale railway line and Mirboo North railway line to Leongatha.
