From TrainSpottingWorld, for Rail fans everywhere
Andrew Barclay & Sons Co. was a steam and later diesel locomotive builder based in Kilmarnock, Scotland founded in 1840. Noted for constructing simple robust locomotives many of its products survive in use on heritage railways. It was the largest builder of fireless locomotives in Britain, building 114 of them between 1913 and 1961. Through a number of acquisitions and takovers it is now part of the rail maintenance business Hunslet-Barclay. The company was acquired by Hunslet in 1988. The firm is still based in Kilmarnock.
