Here is a link to the first run of a South African NGG16 Beyer Garratt on the Puffing Billy Railway in Australia where it was regauged to 2'6".

First run of NGG16 on the Puffing Billy

The Puffing Billy has one more South African Garratt that hasn't been restored, The Welsh Highland Railway has four, the Vale of Rheidol has at least one and one is in Texas. Does anyone know how many more South African 2 foot gauge Garratts have found new homes in the rest of the world?
