Description

52 pages of which 16, including the covers, are in full colour. A4 format, staple bound.
This book tells the stories of all 44 locomotives supplied to New Zealand by two manufacturers based in Leeds, England – the Hunslet Engine Company (10 steam locomotives & 15 diesels, delivered between 1875 and 1958) and Hudswell Clarke & Co (7 steam locomotives & 12 diesels, delivered between 1864 and 1937).
Six NZ Hunslets are preserved in some form. The sole surviving steam Hunslet (No. 1444) is in working order, as are three Hunslet diesels (Nos. 4530, 4531 & 4699). Eight NZ Hudswell Clarkes survive. Of these, one steam locomotive (No. 1542) is under long-term overhaul, and one diesel (D597) remains in working order. The others survive in varying states of completeness.
