List of British railway-owned locomotive builders

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Many early locomotive works disappeared as railways merged or they became simply motive power depots. Some, like Bromsgrove, made only one or two new locomotives but, for even the largest, overhaul and repair of the existing fleet was the main activity.
