Hudswell Clarke 0-6-0 Tank Lined Blue

Hudswell Clarke was formed in Leeds in 1860 by William S Hudswell and John Clarke, initially building stationary steam engines before moving on to construct locomotives. The steam locomotives built by Hudswell Clarke were generally on the smaller side, for contractor and industrial use, and hundreds were produced; 1,807 examples had been outshopped when the final locomotive was completed in 1961.

The origins of the 0-6-0 Tank can be traced back to 1888 when the first of a new class of 24 Ton standard contractor’s industrial tank locomotives rolled off the production line and construction of the type continued until 1946 by which time a total of 88 had been built. The design was tweaked over the years and the model represents the type as built from the late-1920s through to the mid-1930s.

The locomotives were built for contractors like Sir Robert McAlpine & Sons, who used them on the construction of Watford bypass amongst other projects. There were many other industrial users too, like the British Sugar Corporation and the Manchester Ship Canal. Many examples had long careers, often being sold to other concerns once large projects had been completed and several of the type survive in preservation where the provide economical steam power for light to medium duties.
