There are 19958 drawings, diagrams and sketches of railway carriages, wagons and their components. They range from late Victorian examples, through adaptations for both the First and Second World Wars, to examples from the last years of steam railways and early diesel hauled railways. There are a significant number of examples from the Liverpool area electric railways, of wartime ambulance vehicles, as well as information about carriage fittings and furnishings.
A full listing can be found on the National Railway Museum website under 'Drawing Lists' at https://www.railwaymuseum.org.uk/research-and-archive/further-resources/catalogues.

The numbering system for the engineering drawings was devised by Samuel Waite Johnson from 1874. He started the practice of numbering by a year prefix, plus a continuous numerical series beginning at 1. This system continued for the main drawings produced by Derby Drawing Office following absorption of the Midland Railway into the London, Midland and Scottish Railway. It was replaced by new practices when the Derby Works was absorbed into a new structure under British Railways in 1947. The material in this collection has come in acquisitions at two separate occasions and the listing is therefore tabulated artificially to reflect this process. The ‘main series’ of 17254 drawings came as a distinct block from the Derby Works, while the ‘ex-LMS’ portion of 2704 drawings has been separated out from a mixed collection originating with several different constituent carriage and wagon works. No attempt has been made to re-integrate the two groups of drawings. The original system of arrangement employed by the Derby drawing office changed significantly over the years and several different systems are evident from the numbering of drawings, particularly in terms of the variety of prefixes. The variety of systems in use should be evident from the catalogue listing of drawings. When asking to see particular drawings it is therefore vital to provide the full number including any prefix, suffix as well as box and/or roll number as indicated.
