The Puffing Billy Railway near Melbourne, Australia, recently put a 30-inch gauge outside frame Garratt in service after 42 years. It's a 2-6-0+0-6-2. The same group has a South African NGG16-class engine they plan to convert from 24-inch gauge to 30-inch gauge. I am told engineering work has already begun.
