Hurst Nelson

Hurst, Nelson and Company Ltd was a railway rolling stock manufacturer based in Motherwell, Scotland.

Electric lighting was supplied by a jumper cable running from the adjacent gripper car, and the vehicles weighed 4.65 tons.

The vehicles weighed 55 tons, and were not fitted with current collector shoes, since none of the rails were electrified during construction.

[2] Extensions and improvements to the District Railway (later the District line of the London Underground) in the early 1900s required additional rolling stock, and in 1910 Hurst Nelson received an order for 32 motor cars and 20 trailers, which were similar in both construction and appearance, and were known as C Stock.

[3] The most notable example of Hurst Nelson rail vehicles still in service are the tramcars of the Great Orme Tramway.

A small number of trams built by Hurst Nelson, and subsequently withdrawn from service, are now in heritage preservation.
