The drawings appear to derive from two sources and seem to be part of two different sequence of drawings. The first half of the drawings are arranged in drawing number order, the second half follow the order that the drawings were put onto the Museum of British Transport and the National Railway's inventories, rather than the origiinal drawing number order. The archive references are constructed It was not possible to locate a smalll number of drawings in this collection, therefore they have not been catalogued so there are gaps in the sequence of archive references, if located these will be added into the catalogue. One drawing (CZNST/25) is missing but has been scanned, access to this item is only to the digital surrogate.
