Plaistow Works Locomotive Drawings
- Made:
- 1880-1938
The majority of these drawings originate directly from the drawing offices of the Plaistow Works and later of the Derby Works of the Midland Railway. These represent only a small proportion of the drawings originally created by this institution. Other drawings in the collection were made for the use of the Plaistow Works by contractors who supplied locomotives, carriages and associated mechanical equipment. These contractors included Dubs & Co Ltd, Sharp Stewart & Co Ltd, Beyer Peacock Ltd, Westinghouse and other companies.
There is also a register that covers drawings made at the Plaistow Works for use in the workshops, drawing numbers 1-2314 over the period December 1876 to August 1913.
