Hudswell-Clarke No.1544 ‘Slough Estates Ltd No. 3’

The Slough Estates Trading Company was a sprawling complex west of London at Slough which had it’s own railway network and locomotves. No.3 was the first all-new locomotive bought to work on the estate. Entering service in 1924, it worked there until 1973 with the closure of the railway. 

The loco came to the Middleton Railway in 2011 and has been a regular performer. It is currently undergoing restoration.
