Hunslet Engine Company is back underground
After almost 10 years, Hunslet Engine Company is supplying
locomotives to Tunnelling contractors across Europe; including recent
orders for two 25 tonne diesel hydraulic locomotives to Gama Nurol in
Turkey and three 12 tonne diesel locomotives on hire to J Murphy and
Sons Limited for the tunnelling phase of the Lower Lea Valley
regeneration project.
Originally manufactured for the Jubilee Line extension, the two 25 tonne locomotives will be refurbished at the company’s LH Group Services manufacturing facility in Staffordshire. The three 12 tonne locomotives are on hire from preservation societies and private individuals and will be refurbished to their original condition to meet the requirements of operating within a tunnelling environment.
Both comissions are possible with the full backing of parent company, LH Group Services and allow Hunslet to re-enter this very competitive market and establish itself as a key supplier of tunnelling locomotives.
