24-class Sloop
The 24 class was a class of minesweeping sloops. They were derived from the preceding , but designed to appear double-ended. Twenty-four ships to this design (hence the class name) were ordered between December 1916 and April 1917 under the Emergency War Programme for the Royal Navy in World War I, although two of them were cancelled before launch. All were named after famous racehorses (winners of The Derby), but they were not named ''Racehorse'' class as the Admiralty realised that this could easily be confused in communications with the of paddle minesweepers, and they officially became the 24 class. Like the Flower-class sloops, they were single-screw fleet sweeping sloops used almost entirely for minesweeping, although only ten were completed by the Armistice in 1918. However, they had identical deckhouses and gun shields at either end of the vessel, with straight stems and sterns. Furthermore, four of those completed had the single mast aft of the centrally-located funn ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
British Rail Class 24
The British Rail Class 24 diesel locomotives, originally known as the Sulzer Type 2, were built from 1958 to 1961. 151 were built at Derby, Crewe Crewe () is a railway town and civil parish in the unitary authority of Cheshire East in Cheshire, England. At the 2021 United Kingdom census, 2021 census, the parish had a population of 55,318 and the built-up area had a population of 74,120. ... and Darlington Works, Darlington, the first twenty of them as part of the British Railways 1955 Modernisation Plan.

DB Class VT 24
Class 624 and class 634 are types of diesel multiple unit, originally operated by Deutsche Bahn. Development Whereas during the first years after World War II the focus of the Deutsche Bundesbahn was on repairs of rolling stock, lines and buildings, with the beginning of the 1950s attention shifted to renewal of the trains. For passenger services on not electrified lines, the first prototypes of main line diesel locomotives such as the class 220 were commissioned in 1953. Subsequently, DB ordered the rail industry to develop new DMUs in order to replace pre-war classes and steam traction. In 1961 MAN and Waggonfabrik Uerdingen both delivered two prototypes each. Even though they were quite similar, they can be distinguished easily by the different front design. DB put the prototypes into service as class VT 23.5 (MAN) and class VT 24.5 (Uerdingen). After the new numbering scheme the prototypes were listed as class 624 together with the regular units. The prototypes underwent ...

DRG Class 24
The DRG Class 24 steam engines were German standard locomotives ('' Einheitslokomotiven'') built for the Deutsche Reichsbahn between 1928 and 1939 to haul passenger trains. History These engines, nickname the 'prairie horse' (''Steppenpferd'') were developed specially for the long, flat routes in West and East Prussia. 95 examples were built by the firms of Schichau, Linke-Hofmann and others. The two units with operating numbers 24 069 and 24 070 were supplied by Borsig with a medium pressure boiler. These locos ran with a boiler overpressure of , but were rebuilt by DB in 1952. The Deutsche Bundesbahn took over 38 locomotives and retired them by 1966. The last one with the DB was locomotive number 24 067, which was stabled in Rheydt and taken out of service there in August 1966. The engines were given operating numbers 24 001 to 24 095. Engine numbers 24 002, 004, 009, 021 and 030 were left with the DR after the Second World War. They were all sta ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
GER Class R24
The GER Class R24 was a class of steams designed by James Holden for the Great Eastern Railway (GER). They passed to the London and North Eastern Railway at the grouping in 1923 and received the LNER classification J67. Some R24s were rebuilt with higher boiler pressure in which form they were similar to the later Class S56. The rebuilt R24s, together with the S56s, were classified J69 by the LNER. History These locomotives were very similar to the Class T18 locomotives, sharing the same dimensions for most major components. They were all built at the GER's Stratford Works between 1890 and 1901. Eighty-nine locomotives were rebuilt between 1904 and 1921 with boilers and increased water capacity. Most were fitted with air brakes and used in suburban and branch line passenger service alongside the Class S56. The 51 locomotives not rebuilt were used for shunting and working local goods trains. Withdrawal The first withdrawal was in 1931 due to accident damage. Eleven wer ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

J/24
The J/24 is an international One-Design trailerable keelboat class built by J/Boats and defined by World Sailing. The J/24 was created to fulfill the diverse needs of recreational sailors such as cruising, one design racing, day sailing, and handicap racing.Henkel, Steve: ''The Sailor's Book of Small Cruising Sailboats'', page 294. International Marine/McGraw-Hill, 2010. The J/24 class has more than 50,000 people sailing 5,500 boats worldwide; is established in 27 countries and is the world's most popular one design keelboat. Production In the summer of 1975 Rodney Johnstone designed and built hull number 1 in his garage in Stonington, Connecticut. "Ragtime" would serve as the master mold for the subsequent hulls. This design allowed him to start the very successful J-Boat company with his brother Bob Johnstone. By 1978 the class was popular enough to hold a one-design regatta in Key West with twenty boats on the line. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
L&YR Class 24
The L&YR Class 24 was a class of short-wheelbase steam locomotives of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway (L&YR). It was designed by Aspinall and introduced in 1897 for shunting duties. Twenty locomotives were built, but six were withdrawn between 1917 and 1922. They were notable for being the first design of a locomotive on the L&YR to use a Belpaire firebox. Design and construction They were designed for use in freight yards with sharp curves and steep inclines where more power was needed than that provided by alternative Aspinall ''Pugs''. This was the first time for a new build on the L&YR a Belpaire firebox was used. The short-wheelbase design included outside cylinders with Richardson balanced valves on top; these being controlled by a combination of Allan motion and rocking shaft. These locomotives – together with the Improved ''Precedent'' Class on the London and North Western Railway – were the last locomotives built with the Allan straight link motion. ...

NER Class P
The NER Class P (LNER Class J24) was a class of 0-6-0 steam locomotives of the North Eastern Railway. They were designed by Wilson Worsdell for mineral traffic. Modifications As built the locomotives had slide valves, but 20 were fitted with piston valves and superheaters between 1914 and 1920. The cylinder bore was increased by half an inch at the same time. In the infobox (right) 'ns' denotes non-superheated and 'su' denotes superheated. Some locomotives later had their superheaters removed but the piston valves were retained. British Railways Thirty-four locomotives survived into British Railways ownership in 1948 and numbered 65600-65644 (with gaps).

New South Wales Z24 Class Locomotive
The Z24 class (formerly B55 class) is a two-cylinder, non-condensing, saturated 2-6-0 ‘ Mogul‘ type steam engine built by Dübs & Company for the New South Wales Government Railways of Australia. Order Following the success of the B205 class, in 1889 the New South Wales Government Railways ordered an additional 25 locomotives of a basically similar design from Dübs & Company. These locomotives had a deeper firebox, steel cab and weighed an extra nine tonnes. They were pooled with the B205 class in general working. The first locomotive entered traffic on 10 March 1891 and all were in service by August that year. Operation They took a generally unobtrusive part in main line goods traffic until displaced by the D50/ D53/ D55 class locomotives. They then moved on to branch lines until displaced by the C30T class locomotives which arrived in the mid-1920s. Demise and preservation As boiler renewals became due between 1929 and 1960, their numbers were depleted through eith ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
South African Class 24 2-8-4
The South African Railways Class 24 2-8-4 of 1949 is a steam locomotive. In 1949 and 1950, the South African Railways placed 100 branch line steam locomotives with a 2-8-4 Berkshire type wheel arrangement in service.Espitalier, T.J.; Day, W.A.J. (1947). ''The Locomotive in South Africa - A Brief History of Railway Development. Chapter VII - South African Railways (Continued).'' South African Railways and Harbours Magazine, May 1947. pp. 403-404. Manufacturer By the late 1940s, the South African Railways (SAR) still had a comparatively large mileage of track. In South West Africa, where most of the locomotive fleet consisted of Classes 6, 7, GC and GCA, there were still hundreds of miles of track. Considering the increasing age of these locomotives, the options were either to relay these tracks with rail or to obtain new light branch line locomotives suitable for use on the existing track. The Class 24 2-8-4 Berkshire type branch line steam locomotive was designed by Dr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
