LicenseThe drawings consist of locomotive engineering drawings, with some charts, tables, diagrams and electrical engineering drawings. These drawings relate to the construction, running and maintenance of locomotives built at Horwich Locomotive Works, and also include other contractor/works drawings for locomotives and parts sent to Horwich. The drawings span the administration of Horwich Locomotive Works (c1876 –1960) by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, the London & North Western Railway, the London, Midland & Scottish Railway and British Railways (London Midland Region).
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.

Due to the fragmentation of the Horwich Archive before it came to the National Railway Museum, it has been difficult to ascertain the original order of the records. The archive has therefore been arranged into three series as follows: Catalogue reference Series L&Y 1 Registers L&Y 2 Drawings L&Y 3 Photographs The majority of drawings are marked with a drawing number. However, due to the shortage of corroborating records (registers) relating to the bulk of the engineering drawings, it has not been possible to firmly establish the original arrangement of these records. The scheme of arrangement employed is based on the only surviving drawing register, i.e. with each drawing listed numerically by it’s drawing number. The realisation that duplicate drawing numbers existed, and that many of these did not correspond with those documented in the register, suggests that there were several drawing series that ran independently of main series of Horwich created drawings. These drawings have been extracted from the main series and grouped into individual series according to creator or function. Photographs, (1997-7059) are arranged (mainly chronologically) in numerical sequence by negative number, according to the original handwritten negative registers, (A-F series). Photographs (1997-7484) are arranged into themed volumes, (albums) as per original arrangement. Negatives (1997-7483) are also arranged by theme and subject.
