Ruston & Hornsby (Lincoln, UK) was a major builder of small industrial diesel locomotives.
History
Ruston & Hornsby locos were popular for their reliability and availability in various gauges. They used a classification system denoting horsepower and type (e.g., DL for Diesel Locomotive).
Models
- 48DLG: Diesel Locomotive, Flameproof, approx 48hp.
- 30DL / 30DLU: 30hp units (U for Underground/Mines, sometimes used in mills).
- DH Series: Larger diesel-hydraulic units.
