APL-17-class Barracks Ship
The ''APL-17''-class barracks ship was a class of barracks ships of the United States Navy after the start of the Second World War, in the 1940s. Development Eighteen ships were built during World War II with 6 cancelled, later built as Benewah-class barracks ship, ''Benewah''-class. Franklin D. Roosevelt approved the construction of tenders and repair ships in May 1943, it was then recommended by the Auxiliary Vessels Board on 11 June later that year, the construction of barracks ships. The class consists of barges with a two-story barracks built on top instead of a warehouse design, and they had an auxiliary vessel designation of "A". Moreover, on their top deck, 4 Oerlikon 20 mm cannons were placed together with 2 guns and their platforms located on each side of the ship. The guns were later removed after being put into the reserve fleet in 1946. During the Vietnam War, 4 ships (''APL-21'', ''26'', ''27'' and ''30'') were dispatched to South Vietnam, with ''APL-26'' an ...

GWR 17 Class
Between 1854 when the Shrewsbury and Chester and Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railways were absorbed by the Great Western Railway, and 1864 when he moved south to Swindon Works, Joseph Armstrong occupied the post of the GWR's Locomotive Superintendent, Northern Division, at Wolverhampton Works. For ten years the task of providing new locomotives for the GWR's newly acquired standard gauge lines fell jointly to Armstrong and to his superior Daniel Gooch, the railway's principal Locomotive Superintendent who was based at Paddington. This article deals with the new locomotives designed by Armstrong during his Wolverhampton years. For his later, Swindon locomotives, see the individual articles as listed in the table of GWR Locomotives at the foot of the article. The locomotives At the start of his GWR career (1854-8), Armstrong was concerned principally with keeping the motley collection of S&CR and S&BR locomotives in working order, and with enlarging Wolverhampton (Stafford Road) Wo ...

South African Class 17 4-8-0TT
The South African Railways Class 17 4-8-0TT of 1926 was a steam locomotive from the pre- Union era in the Natal Colony. Between 1926 and 1929, to address a shortage of suitable shunting locomotives, the South African Railways rebuilt twenty-one Class A 4-8-2 Mountain type tank steam locomotives to Class 17 4-8-0 Mastodon type tank-and-tender locomotives.Espitalier, T.J.; Day, W.A.J.

R-17-class Lifeboat
The R-17 class was a class of Polish-built lifeboats and salvage tugs, in Polish service between 1972 and 2011. Eight were built, two of which were used in East Germany. History In the 1960s design work commenced in Poland on new steel-hull lifeboats to replace a fleet of old, mostly wooden craft of several types used on the Polish Baltic Sea coast. The operator of lifeboats was the state-owned Polskie Ratownictwo Okrętowe (''Polish Ship Salvaging''), which was also responsible for marine salvage.Rochowicz (2017), p. 72 It was decided to build two series of craft, the larger R-27 and the smaller R-17 (the numbers coming from predicted hull lengths in meters, R standing for ''ratowniczy'' (rescue in Polish)).Rochowicz (2017), p. 73-74 The smaller R-17 class was initially intended to be a pure lifeboat design, but eventually it was decided to add salvage capabilities as well. The resulting design was a small salvage tugs. First sketches were made by two Polish bureaus in 1966. The ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
NSB El 17
The NSB El 17 is a class of twelve electric locomotive, electric locomotives built by Thyssen-Henschel and Norsk Elektrisk & Brown Boveri (NEBB) for the Norwegian State Railways (1883–1996), Norwegian State Railways (NSB). The class was built in two batches, the first delivered in 1982 and numbered 2221–2226, and the second delivered in 1987 and numbered 2227–2232. The traction system of the El 17 was based on the DB Class 120 of Germany (BBC, AEG and Siemens) and were among the first in the world to feature three-phase electric power, three-phase asynchronous motors. The units were ordered to be used on the intercity Bergen Line, Bergen, Dovre Line, Dovre and Sørland Lines, but were plagued with technical faults (overheating traction equipment, transient voltages, etc.). The unreliability and lack of sufficient power forced NSB to instead use them in the regional Vestfold Line, Vestfold and Gjøvik Lines. With the delivery of the NSB El 18, El 18, the first series was retir ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
NSB Cmb Class 17
''Kristine Valdresdatter'', officially known as NSB Cmb17a or Class 17, was a single railcar built by Strømmens Værksted in 1935. The train has a Buda gasoline prime mover with a mechanical transmission. This gave a power output of and a maximum speed of . Originally delivered to the private Valdres Line. The Norwegian State Railways (NSB) took over the line in 1937. It was used on the Numedal Line from 1939 and the Grimstad Line from 1947. After a derailment in 1955, the railcar was retired and has been scrapped. Specifications ''Kristine Valdresdatter'' was a three-axle railcar, with a bogie at the front and a carrier axle at the back. It had a Buda gasoline prime mover with a mechanical transmission. The train was built on a steel chassis with a wood and aluminum body. It had a low floor height, easing entry, giving a low center of gravity and thus better driving properties. It weighed and had a maximum speed of . The overall length was , and without buffers. The train ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
New South Wales Z17 Class Locomotive
The 17 class (formally H.373 class) is a class of steam locomotive built by the Vulcan Foundry for the New South Wales Government Railways of Australia. History Ordered from the Vulcan Foundry, 12 were placed in service in 1887. They had the 4-4-0 wheel arrangement that most locomotives had at the time. Shortly after delivery, the class leader was tested against the Baldwin Locomotive Works built L304 class to see which one could make a faster and better run across the Blue Mountains to Eskbank, with the Baldwin locomotive judged superior. They were also intended to haul passenger service on the steeply graded Sydney to Newcastle and Kiama lines. They proved unpopular with both locomotive crews because of rough riding and track maintenance staff because of their high axle load and were displaced from mainline working and relegated to branch line work following the arrival of the P6 class (C32 class). In 1905/06, new boilers with Belpaire fireboxes were fitted, the smokeboxes ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
LNER Class B17
The London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) Class B17, also known as "Sandringham" or "Footballer" class was a class of 4-6-0 steam locomotive designed by Nigel Gresley for hauling passenger services on the Great Eastern Main Line. In total 73 were built. Background By 1926, the former Great Eastern Railway, GER GER Class S69, B12 class locomotives were no longer able to cope with the heaviest express passenger trains on the Great Eastern Main Line between London and Cambridge, Ipswich and Norwich. Yet Gresley was unable to use his larger classes due to severe weight restrictions on the line. The requirement for a lightweight yet powerful 4-6-0 proved to be difficult to achieve. Design After several unsuccessful attempts by Doncaster Works to satisfy Gresley's specification, the contract for the detailed design and building of the class was given to the North British Locomotive Company in 1927. They used several features from a batch of LNER Class A1/A3, A1 Pacifics they had bui ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
