Other than the Garratts mentioned above a few articulated locos were used in India. Perhaps the best known are the WCG-1 (EF/1) 1.5kV DC locos (‘Crocodile’) and the NDM-1 dual-engined diesel loco for the Neral-Matheran hill run. The bonnets of both these types of locos were able to swivel around.

Other articulated locomotives used in the past:

NWR’s MAS class #460 Mallet (broad gauge)
WIPR’s IM class Mallets (meter gauge)
ISR’s double Fairlies, 4 of which went to the Nilgiri under the NMR (meter gauge) (Hughes, part 2, p.70)
NWR’s KST TS class #180, #181, Kitson-Myers
