Barry Railway Class H
The Barry Railway Class H was a small class of seven 0-8-2T tank locomotives built for the Barry Railway by Sharp Stewart in 1896. When they were introduced they were the first locomotives in Britain to use the 0-8-2 wheel arrangement. History The class originated from the four earlier Class D 0-8-0 tender locomotives. These were purchased from Sharp, Stewart and Company, who had originally built them for the Swedish & Norwegian Railway. One appealing feature the class had were their short overall length, due to their small four-wheeled tenders. This made them unusually short for their power, suitable for the Barry Railway's restrictively short turntables, and their limited range was not an issue for the short journeys of the Welsh mineral traffic. When the Barry Railway needed more locomotives for coal trains on the Vale of Glamorgan Line, it returned to Sharp Stewart (who had also supplied most of the locos on the railway) for similar engines to the Class D. The result was th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
H Type Adelaide Tram
The H type Adelaide tram was a class of 30 trams built by A Pengelly & Co, Adelaide in 1929 for use on the newly constructed Glenelg tram line. They remained in regular revenue service until replaced by Bombardier Flexity Classic trams in 2006. Overview The 30 H type (numbers 351 - 380) were built locally by A Pengelly & Co in 1929 to operate the newly converted Glenelg tram line which opened on 14 December 1929. They were also used on the Henley North line from 1935 and though to Kensington Gardens after these lines were through-routedThrough-routing: enabling running to the ends of both lines. in 1952. The H type regularly ran as double sets at busier times. All services were operated by a crew of driver and conductor (driver and two conductors on coupled sets). They have many of the characteristics of American interurban streetcars of that period and their heritage ambience has been carefully maintained. Although the H type trams have been through several refurbishment ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
H-class Blimp
The ''H'' class blimp was an observation airship built for the U.S. Navy in the early 1920s. The original "H" Class design of 1919 was for a twin engined airship of approximately 80,000 cubic feet volume. Commander Lewis Maxfield (who was to have commanded the ZR-2, better known as the ''R38'', and died in its crash) suggested that a small airship which could be used either as a tethered kite balloon, or be towed by a ship until releasing its cable, would be able to scout on its own. The concept was an airship similar to the later Army Motorized Kite Balloons. Operational history After test flights at Wingfoot Lake, ''H-1'' was shipped to Rockaway in May 1921. During the summer of 1921, ''H-1'' completed six flights and, on its seventh, a hard landing pitched the crew out of the control car. ''H-1'' free ballooned as far as Scarsdale, New York where a farmer was able to grab the rip cord and tie the blimp down. During the night, hydrogen began leaking from the envelope and by mor ...

H-class Lifeboat
H-class rescue hovercraft serve the shores of the United Kingdom as a part of the RNLI inshore fleet. A modified Type 470TD design built by Griffon Hoverwork, they were developed to operate in tidal areas such as Morecambe Bay, where strandings by incoming tides can have fatal consequences; and in waters too shallow for normal craft. Hovercraft also operate out of Hunstanton, Hoylake, and Southend-on-Sea Southend-on-Sea (), commonly referred to as Southend (), is a coastal city and unitary authority area with borough status in southeastern Essex, England.

H-class Battleship Proposals
The H class was a series of battleship designs for Nazi Germany's ''Kriegsmarine'', which were intended to fulfill the requirements of Plan Z in the late 1930s and early 1940s. The first variation, "H-39," called for six ships to be built, essentially as enlarged s with guns and diesel propulsion. The "H-41" design improved the "H-39" ship with still larger main guns, eight weapons, and reinforced deck armor. The Construction Office of the ''Oberkommando der Marine'' (''OKM'') concluded their work with the "H-41" design, and were not involved in subsequent plans. Two of them, "H-42" and "H-43", increased the main battery yet again, with pieces, and the enormous "H-44" design ultimately resulted with guns. The ships ranged in size from the "H-39", which was long on a displacement of , to the "H-44", at on a displacement of . Most of the designs had a proposed top speed in excess of . Due to the outbreak of World War II in September 1939, none of the ships were ever completed ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
H-class Destroyer
The G- and H-class destroyers were a group of 18 destroyers built for the Royal Navy during the 1930s. Six additional ships being built for the Brazilian Navy when World War II began in 1939 were purchased by the British and named the ''Havant'' class. The design was a major export success with other ships built for the Argentine and Royal Hellenic Navies. They were assigned to the Mediterranean Fleet upon completion and enforced the Non-Intervention Agreement during the Spanish Civil War of 1936–1939. Most ships were recalled home or were sent to the North Atlantic from October–November 1939, after it became clear that Fascist Italy was not going to intervene in World War II. Then they began to escort convoys and patrol for German submarines and commerce raiders. Two ships were lost to German mines in the first six months of the war. Three more were lost during the Norwegian Campaign, one in combat with a German cruiser and two during the First Battle of Narvik in Apri ...

WAGR H Class (diesel)
The H class are a class of diesel locomotives built by English Electric, Rocklea for the Western Australian Government Railways in 1964–1965. History To assist with the conversion of the Eastern Goldfields Railway from Perth to Kalgoorlie to standard gauge, five locomotives were purchased from built English Electric. After being shipped by sea from Rocklea, they were hauled on narrow gauge to Upper Swan with the first entering service in January 1965. After the completion of the gauge conversion project they began to haul local freight and infrastructure trains. In October 1992, H4 was scrapped with the other used as shunters at Forrestfield until withdrawn in 1996.

NZR H Class
The NZR H class steam locomotive was a unique class of Fell locomotive used by New Zealand Railways (NZR) on the Rimutaka Incline, the section of 1 in 15 (6.67 %) gradient between Cross Creek and Summit, over the Rimutaka Ranges. Introduction The first four H class locomotives were built for NZR by the Avonside Engine Company in 1875, and introduced on the Rimutaka Incline from its opening in 1877. They were named as Mount Cenis, Mount Cook, Mount Egmont, and Mount Tongariro. In 1886 two additional locomotives were introduced, built by Neilson and Company. The Neilson Locomotives were known as the Dreadnoughts. Design The locomotives worked on the Fell mountain railway system and had four horizontal driving wheels between the frames, gripping a centre rail and providing the extra adhesion needed for the climb. The outside engines drove the rear pair of coupled wheels of diameter, and the inside cylinders four spring-loaded grip wheels of diameter. On the descent, power ...

WAGR H Class
The H class was a class of two steam locomotives operated by the Western Australian Government Railways (WAGR) introduced in 1889. History In 1889, Neilson & Co, Glasgow delivered two 0-6-0T engines to the WAGR. H18 entered service on the Eastern Railway, while H17 was placed in store in Bunbury pending the opening of the Bunbury to Boyanup line. The WAGR sought to move H17 to the Eastern Railway, but the residents objected so it remained in store. H17 entered in service in May 1890 to operate construction trains, but by then the number 17 had been allocated to a G class locomotive, so it was renumbered H22. When the line opened in March 1891, H18 was transferred to Bunbury. Between 1895 and 1897, both operated construction trains at Fremantle Harbour South Mole. Post WAGR history H22 was sold on 20 March 1907 to the Goldfields Water Supply Administration to operate the Mundaring Weir Branch Railway. It was transferred back to the WAGR in September 1909 with the Weir lin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Victorian Railways H Class (diesel)
The H class are a class of diesel locomotives built by Clyde Engineering, Granville for the Victorian Railways in 1968–1969. History The H Class were built as T class locomotives with modifications for use at the Melbourne Hump Yard. They were fitted additional equipment for their duties, including extra weight for traction, "manual power control" to allow low speed operation, and an accurate low speed speedometer. The H class were delivered as T413 to T417, but were reclassified before entering service. The class rarely left Melbourne due to their excessive weight, until being approved to operate on the same lines as the N class in January 1987. All were included in the sale of V/Line Freight to Freight Victoria in May 1999 and passed with the business to Pacific National Pacific National is one of Australia's largest rail freight businesses.
