List of locomotive classes. This  is a list of locomotive classes.

A list of locomotive classes that have a corresponding Wikipedia article. A locomotive or engine is a rail transport vehicle that provides the motive power for a train. If a locomotive is capable of carrying a payload, it is usually referred to as a multiple unit, motor coach, railcar or power car; the use of these self-propelled vehicles is increasingly common for passenger trains, but rare for freight (see CargoSprinter).

Following is a locomotive classes or models, organized by company.  Note that some classes have only a single member, an individual locomotive which may also be included in List of locomotives.

Thomas Peterkin. Thomas Alexander Peterkin (1839 – 12 June 1926) was a British born New Zealand engineer and politician who was mayor of Lower Hutt.

Biography
Peterkin was born in 1839 in London. He found employment with the London and North Western Railway, later becoming a leading hand. He then emigrated to Victoria, Australia, to become manager of the Vulcan Foundry at Geelong. Three years later he superintended the building of a freezing works at Rockhampton and established a foundry there as well. He then became an engineer overseeing cable work before shifting to New Zealand. In 1876 he was appointed as a railway engineer at Westport, later becoming manager of the Christchurch Tramway Company. He rejoined the railways department, working at Hillside and Addington, and was again manager at Westport for seven years. In 1897 he moved to Wellington where he was a locomotive engineer.

In 1907 he was elected Mayor of Lower Hutt, defeating borough councillors Albert Burton Clark and Frederick de Jersey Clere for the position. He presided over a period of large population growth and urbanisation. The council spent on upgrading sewage and water infrastructure and constructing public facilities causing the council to amass much debt. By the time Peterkin retired as mayor the council had almost no money left for any further expenditure. After he left office an independent audit of the council's finances and its £7,000 debt was held but found no corruption or willful mismanagement by Peterkin and the council members, though City Engineer Henry Rix-Trott would resign over the matter in 1910.

He died at his home in Lower Hutt in 1926.

Sophia Hober. Sophia Hober (born 1965) is a Swedish researcher in biotechnology and professor at The Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm.
Sophia Hober got her Master of Science in chemical engineering at KTH in 1989 and defended her doctorate in biochemistry in 1996. Since 2007, Hober is a professor of molecular biotechnology at KTH. During 2011–2015, Professor Hober served as dean at KTH and was part of the management team. Sophia Hober was elected member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences in 2012.

Hober's research is centered around the development of affinity proteins for use in biotechnology and medicine. Her main scientific achievements in the field of protein purification include improvements of the alkaline tolerance of protein A for the industrial purification of monoclonal antibodies. This work led to the product MabSelect SuRe, currently sold by Cytiva.  Professor Hober has also developed a new protein domain with calcium-dependent affinity that can be used for gentle purification of monoclonal antibodies. Further in her work she has developed protein domains with the ability to strongly and selectively bind cancer markers. One of these has, in clinical trials, been shown to work very well for the precision diagnosis of cancer in situ. Hober is, among others, a co-founder of the biotechnology companies Affibody AB and Atlas Antibodies AB.

Kohm Lady Godiva. The Lady Godiva is a human-powered aircraft built in the early 1980s by Thomas Kohm of Huntington, New York.  It is a replica of the MacCready Gossamer Albatross.

Kohm had been a physics teacher at Cold Spring Harbor High School and, along with a group of his students, was inspired by the success of the Albatross to make a copy of it. As their project advanced, Kohm decided that the craft would be the "first girl-powered plane", with the role of pilot eventually being taken by his teenage daughter, Christina 'Christy' Kohm. The craft acquired the name Lady Godiva, due to her wearing minimal clothing, when she was piloting the craft.

Construction began in 1981, with the first flight taking place at the Brookhaven Municipal Airport in July 1982. The best flight occurred on October 1, 1982, when it flew for 4 minutes 30 seconds. The aircraft was constructed from graphite fibre tubing, mylar, stryofoam, and balsa. It was modified three times, and also underwent rebuilds due to crashes, with the empty weight of the craft increasing 25 lbs (11.3 kg) due to that.

The Long Island cable news station TV6 featured the Kohms and their aircraft on the program "Huntington Profiles" on the evening of Friday, August 13, 1982.

A New York Times article, dating from September 1983, detailed the Kohms' hope that they would be able to make a crossing of the Long Island Sound with it. The Lady Godiva was later placed in the collection of the Cradle of Aviation Museum, in Uniondale, New York.

Lagoon 420. The Lagoon 420 is a French sailboat that was designed by Van Peteghem/Lauriot-Prevost as a cruiser and yacht charter boat, first built in 2006, as a 2007 model year introduction.

The boat was introduced at the 2006 US Sailboat Show in Annapolis, Maryland.

The Lagoon 420 has a unique hybrid diesel-electric drive system and sold as the first production hybrid sailboat. When a more conventional dual diesel engine arrangement was installed, the boat was designated as the Lagoon 421.

Production
The design was built by Lagoon catamaran in France, starting in 2006 with 270 boats built, but it is now out of production.

The Lagoon 420 was replaced in production by the Lagoon 42-2 in 2016.

Design
The Lagoon 420 is a recreational catamaran, built predominantly of polyester fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig. The hulls have plumb stems, reverse transoms with swimming platforms, dual internally mounted spade-type rudders controlled by a wheel and twin fixed fin keels. The helm station is mounted to the aft port salon bulkhead and has a rigid bimini top. The catamaran displaces .

The boat has a draft of  with the standard twin keels.

The Lagoon 420 is fitted with a single 13.5-KVA 110-volt Onan diesel generator, which charges two banks of 12 volt batteries. The batteries power two 72 volt DC Nidec Leroy-Somer electric motors, one in each hull, for docking and maneuvering. While sailing the electric motors can provide regenerative charging of the batteries via the propellers. The fuel tank holds  and the fresh water tank has a capacity of . The Lagoon 421 has dual Yanmar  diesel engines, powering two saildrives.

The design was built with an interior in "owner's" or "charter" layout. The three-cabin owner's version has the port hull equipped with a queen-sized double berth aft, a lounge amidships and a large head with a shower forward. The starboard hull has a double berth-equipped cabin fore and aft with two heads amidships, with a shared shower. The four cabin charter version has sleeping accommodation for eight people, with both hulls arranged the same as the starboard hull on the owner's version. There is also a central salon, including the galley and navigation station.

The design has a hull speed of .

Operational history
In a 2007 Cruising World review, Jeremy McGeary wrote, "it's too early yet to see where the future of electric drive in sailboats is headed, but Lagoon has taken a bold step with the Lagoon 420 Hybrid, its first production sailing cat that marries a diesel generator and electric propulsion motors. In other respects, the 420 delivers what the world’s biggest catamaran builder always does: a comfortable ride in well-appointed surroundings."
