We are talking of course about steam locomotive manufacture.

Today we are proud to look back on our heritage, not just with nostalgia for times gone by, but with a real sense that for over 140 years Hunslet has maintained the standards that guarantees its future and makes it one of the few remaining steam locomotive manufacturers in the UK.
