Clyde Locomotive Co

The company was founded by Walter Neilson in 1884 after leaving Neilson & Co. The Clyde Locomotive Works was established at Springburn, Glasgow, across the railway line from Neilson & Co’s Hyde Park Works. The company was not a success (completing only 23 locomotives) and was taken over by Sharp Stewart & Company in 1887.
