Msa Garratts   Hi  The idea about an article is a good one but unfortunately youve started out with an error That is understandable as the subject is complex   The WAGR first imported the M class Garratts in  These are very important locos because they are the third class of Garratt to be built and the first main line Garratt showing the potential as a heavy freight hauler They were followed up in  by the Ms class only difference being the Ms class were superheated So they were also the first class of Garratts to be the subject of a repeat order Both classes were built by BeyerPeacock  The Msa class were constructed in  by the WAGR in their own workshops Apparently a copy of the Ms class they did seem to have some cosmetic differences  The story does not end there but moves to Victoria The VR G class apparently is copied from the Ms class the major difference is the frames moved outside so as to accomidate the reduced gauge Outside framed Garratts are very rare even in the smaller gauges But wait there is more no not steak knives The design was used again for the Australian Portland Cements  line near Geelong the first loco being supplied in  and the second in  The boiler from one of these locos is used on the restored G  So in conclusion the design was constructed over a period of  years used on three railway on two gauges and built by two manufacturers with if Ive added it up correctly  locos constructed  Personally I think the article should cover the history of the design and include all the varients Some work would be required to hunt down variations though So yes I think it does deserve an article  Please feel free to use the above if you wish  Cheers  Michael
