Where is the section on the Hunslet 'Austerity'? So important during the Second World War and during the post-war industrial age. Plus its impact on railway preservation cannot be discounted. 86.4.212.210 (talk) 17:33, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It seems to have it's own article linked at the bottom
Added a Wikilink to the Austerity page, and also to the List of preserved Austerity locomotives, along with a few words to start explaining their significance. For more detail, readers can follow the links.Hrm3319 (talk) 09:46, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hello. If anyone can clarify the current sitaution as described in the text - specifically - what if any is the relationship between Mr. Graham Lee and the engineering works situated at Statfold Barn Railway near Tamworth in Staffordshire and the The Hunslet Steam Engine Co.
Also what is the name of the engineering works mentioned. etc.
Is Graham Lee part of the current hunslett engine company?
Suggestion : Split off "List of NG locomotive types" to a new page[edit]
The "List of narrow gauge locomotive types" section is interesting and comprehensive, but takes up a lot of space, breaks up the narrative flow of the article, and is not matched by similar detail on Standard Guage designs. I suggest splitting it off to a new page, such as List of Hunslet narrow gauge locomotive designs leaving behind a wikilink and a few words of explanation.
The last few rows of the table are listing individual locomotives, and not design types. They could be edited, and the duplicated data removed, but if they keep being added then maybe they demonstrate that there is a requirment for another new page List of preserved Hunslet narrow gauge locomotives?
Thanks for you comments Keith - in the absence of any dissenting opinions, I have gone ahead and created the first new article I proposed List of Hunslet narrow gauge locomotive designs and moved the table from this page into it.
I will wait for more opinions before I do anything about the second page (List of preserved Hunslet narrow gauge locomotives). IMHO there is enough data, not necesarily on this page but on preserved railway pages: a list page would pull it all together. It would also simplify the "preserved" section of this page which is in danger of turning into a list of heritage railways with no explanation of what locos they have there, and therefore has no indication of their relevance.

Graham Lee, in business with an engineering works situated at Statfold Barn Railway near Tamworth in Staffordshire, constructed in 2005 and 2006 two new Quarry Hunslet locomotives (named Statfold and Jack Lane) similar in appearance to Irish Mail. In January 2007 Jack Lane was offered for sale by the manufacturers for £152,750 (Railway Magazine, February 2007). Graham Lee is chairman of LH Group Services Ltd - which in 2005 bought what remained of the Hunslet Engine Company.
The connection with the company is not totally clear - this page should be an article about Hunslet. It looks like an article on LH Group might be needed - I assume the above is part of the LH group.Mddkpp (talk) 02:16, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Is a dead link - obviously I can use google an find http://www.amberleymuseum.co.uk/ Is this relavent as an external link though?
I 'hacked' at the article - the lead section was "wrong" - also (subjectively) too many sections per line of text, also changed section headings according to "Keep it simple" principles. Some meta discussion removed, other retained as "notes". Attempt at a consistent citation style (may need work). As noted above an article on LH Group may be needed - also the relation with "Barclay" over the ~30 years ownership is not clear - more info pleae + cites.
Also moved preservation to bottom to stop it splitting the company history. Probably did some other stuff too changes - didn't actually remove much text..

We have "The last industrial steam engine built in Britain was built at Hunslet in 1971 for export to Java." This is accompanied by Note 2, which reads "This engine later returned to Britain and is preserved in working order." Given its historic significance, that note seems very vague. While a Note isn't the right place for acres of text, I do think at least what type of engine it was, who preserved it and where it is now should be mentioned. I don't personally know, so can't do the requisite editing myself. 86.186.54.115 (talk) 02:42, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I can't see anything in the article about the Scootacar, built from 1957 to 1964 by Scootacars.Ltd, a division of the Hunslet Engine Company. Was it built at the Jack Lane premises? 17 September 2012 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.22.163.89 (talk) 10:36, 17 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
