We had previously obtained an integral equation for mesons in transverse lattice QCD, in the limit of large number of colours and strong transverse lattice gauge coupling [1]. This equation is a generalisation of the 't Hooft equation [2], by inclusion of the spin degrees of freedom. We analyse this equation to extract spectral properties and light-front wavefunctions of mesons. We also extend the method to study baryon properties in the same limit.
