Description
The Hunslet 16in 0-6-0ST was the largest of a range of ‘standard’ locomotives. Other similar designs were available with 12, 14 and 15in diameter cylinders.
They were designed for industry where owners were looking for a locomotive that was economical, simple to operate, easy to maintain and durable. These locomotives often worked in dirty conditions, over poor track, with minimal maintenance and overhauls. However, they did so with ease and many had long service lives. The design was developed as a standard ‘off the shelf product’ although the new owners of locomotives often added minor embellishments including extra lubricators as they saw fit.
