Historical Background

Robert Hudson Ltd of Leeds was one of the world's leading suppliers of narrow gauge railway equipment during the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Its wagon chassis were designed as versatile platforms that could be adapted for a wide range of body styles, allowing customers to specify wagons for mining, quarrying, construction, military and industrial applications.

The curved-end chassis became a common sight on narrow gauge railways across Britain and overseas, forming the basis for countless open wagons, bolster wagons, platform wagons and specialist vehicles. Their robust construction and adaptability ensured long service lives, making Hudson chassis an enduring favourite with preservation railways and OO9 modellers alike.
