Three Mallets ran in Australia, including one on the Magnet Tramway in Tasmania. The Beyer-Garratt was particularly well-suited for rail lines of narrow gauge with lightly laid tracks because the weight of the locomotive was spread over a considerable distance. Superheating also required alteration of the valve gear and piston valves were therefore used instead of slide valves.
