I'm not sure why, as Hudswell  Clarke produced a huge diversity of types and gauges, both steam and, latterly,  diesel locomotives. In the early part of the twentieth century they formed a  partnership with Robert Hudson, narrow gauge equipment suppliers (they of the  famous Hudson tipper wagons) and produced a range of narrow gauge engines which  were exported around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThis engine is a model of the 2' 6\" gauge Hudswell Clarke 0-6-0 supplied  to the Sub Nigel Gold Mine of South Africa.
