Hunslet-Taylor Gold Mine Industrial Locomotives

Hunslet Taylor was a partner company of Hunslet in South Africa and built over two thousand locomotives for the African market at their locomotive works in Johannesburg. A number of these locomotives were small diesel-hydraulics built for work in gold mines in South Africa. They were built to work on 600mm gauge track with a reduced profile suitable for tunnel working.
