London & North Eastern Railway Carriage & Wagon Drawings Lists London & North Eastern Railway Carriage & Wagon Drawings Lists Description: Approximately 15000 engineering drawings of carriages, wagons and associated components constructed or maintained at the carriage and wagon workshops at Doncaster, Darlington, Gorton, Dukinfield, York, Shildon and a small number from Cowlairs. System of Arrangement: The collection as it was transferred into the national archive largely represents a particular point in time in the complex evolution of what has been designated by the National Railway Museum as the ‘LNER Carriage and Wagon Drawings Collection.’ The arrangement is based primarily on that imposed by the Doncaster Carriage and Wagon Drawing Office practices. This consists of a single numerical sequence with associated alphabetical identifiers associated with the originating workshops. These were ‘N’ for Doncaster, ‘D’ for Darlington, ‘C’ for Gorton and Dukinfield, ‘Y’ for York, ‘S’ for Shildon and ‘B’ for Cowlairs. Where these identifiers had not been physically included on the drawing the cataloguer has added these into the database to aid in finding drawings. ‘C-K’ has been used in the prepared listing to distinguish drawings originating from Dukinfield rather than Gorton, but this was not an official LNER usage. Glossary: CI Cast Iron CS Cast Steel IR India Rubber MCI Malleable Cast Iron MS Mild Steel T Ton WB Wheelbase WI Wrought Iron EP Electro-pneumatic Some Drawing Numbers have an “A” suffix which appears to be applied to drawings which have been amended for a specific purpose rather than corrected. Such “A” suffixes are entered in the Drawing Number column, as the “A” is an integral part of the number not needed for any searches. However, some Gorton drawings seem to have a letter suffix which distinguishes an issue and this has been separated in the next column. For Drawings on which the Drawing Number has been obscured, the convention has been adopted of entering an appropriate round number within the sequence of drawings in the roll, together with the suffix “Z”, eg “12300Z”. The date in the “Earliest Date Found” column is suffixed “R” if it is that of the earliest revision, “S” if of the signature and “P” if from a print or issue date stamp. The “Used on Drg No” column is intended to link related drawings within the file without the need to examine the drawings themselves, the suffix “*” indicating the reference is to a General Arrangement drawing [often referred to at Doncaster as a Body Drawing]. “ ** ” in the “Used on Drg No” column indicates that the drawing is a carriage General Arrangement and “ * ” a wagon, underframe or bogie GA. “[list]” in the Title column indicates that the sheet is a list of parts rather than a drawing and indicates those drawings which define an assembly. Square brackets [ ] always indicate an inference, not explicit on the drawing (but the leading [ is omitted in the “Used on Drg No” column to facilitate searches). In the “Office Code” column, “N” signifies Doncaster, “D” Darlington, “C” Gorton, “C-K” Dukinfield, “Y” York, “YE” York Engineer, "S" Shildon, and "B" Cowlairs, whether or not the suffix was actually applied retrospectively by the LNER to a drawing from a constituent company. “#” is an indication of suspect data in the file which needs to be re-checked from the drawing. Where two or more drawings are held on one sheet, a note is made in the “Additional Page 1 # is an indication of suspect data in the file which needs to be re checked from the drawing. Where two or more drawings are held on one sheet, a note is made in the Additional Information” column. The symbol “!” is used in place of “sic” to indicate that a surprising entry is as on the drawing. The text in the "Title of Drawing" column is closely consistent with that on the drawing except for certain abbreviations and punctuation, but that in the "Additional Information" column may be paraphrased. The format used for dates is D(d)/M(m)/YYYY regardless of the format used on the drawing itself. The following initialled as draughtsmen: LNJA, GB, LB, AJB, MC, GMC, EG, JMG, CCL, PL, KN (or KV or KW), DS, RS, CT, AW, CEW. Search for a string such as ‘Coal Wagon’ in the ‘Title of Drawing’ column. Locate the relevant General Arrangement drawing from the fact that the entries in the ‘Drawing Number’ and ‘Used on Drawing No’ columns are the same signified by ** for Carriages or * for Wagons, Underframes or Bogies. Other relevant drawings can be identified by the recurrence of that Drawing No in the ‘Used on Drawing No’ column. The GA itself usually has notes of major subsidiary drawings (eg the underframe, bogie) which may be noted in the “Additional Information” column. There is usually a list of parts required (which should be identified by ‘[list]’ in the ‘Title of Drawing’ column; in addition to listing all the detail parts required, this Gateshead usually notes the Drawing Numbers of the major subsidiary arrangement drawings. Physical Characteristics: Most of the drawings are wax linen. There are some ozalid prints on a variety of materials, as well as waxed paper, cartridge paper, tracing paper and blueprints. They vary greatly in size, ranging from small diagrams to full size general arrangement drawings. They are rolled and stored in boxes. Administrative/Biographical History: The London and North Eastern Railway Company was formed in 1923 as one of the four group companies created by the re-organisation of railways following the First World War. The new company inherited a number of workshops that specialised in the construction, repair and maintenance of railway rolling stock, carriages and wagons. The main workshops were at Shildon, Faverdale (Darlington), Walkergate (Newcastle) and York from the North Eastern Railway; Doncaster from the Great Northern Railway; Stratford and Temple Mills from the Great Eastern Railway; Gorton and Dukinfield from the Great Central Railway; and Cowlairs from the North British Railway. Under the auspices of the LNER, the main construction workshops were at York and Doncaster for carriages, and Shildon and Faverdale for wagons, while the remaining workshops concentrated on repairs and maintenance. The LNER ceased to exist when the various companies were nationalised under British Railways in 1948. However, the basic organisation of carriage and wagon workshops remained until a comprehensive rationalisation took place during the 1960s, with many works being closed and later privatised. In course of time, as construction and repair was centralised and specialised, the main store for drawings for LNER Carriages and Wagons was lodged at Doncaster Carriage and Wagon Drawing Store, from where they were transferred to the National Railway Museum via the British Transport Commission. During ownership by the various railway companies obsolete drawings were constantly weeded out to save space, so that many drawings do not survive. The collection does contain a number of drawings from the pre- 1923 companies. However the bulk of the former Stratford drawings were separately identified and retrieved. Most of the drawings were eventually gathered together at Doncaster Carriage and Wagon Drawing Store, with additional collections from Darlington and Gorton. While the Darlington group includes many from Gateshead, Shildon and York, and the Gorton group includes items from Dukinfield, these do not represent complete collections from the former North Eastern Railway and Great Central Railway respectively. There are also a small number of drawings originating with the Hull and Barnsley Railway. Some drawings found within the collection from the Doncaster Locomotive Drawing Office have been transferred to this collection. During the LNER/ BR period some construction and design work was carried out in partnership with Metropolitan Cammell: consequently many drawings from this company are found re-numbered in the LNER collection of drawings.

  • The Evolution of British Railways 1909-2009
    The Evolution of British Railways 1909-2009 Britain’s Railways and The Railway Study Association 1909-2009 previously published in 2009 as part of A Century of Change 2019 Introduction to Second Edition Mike Horne FCILT MIRO This book was originally published by the name of ‘A Century of Change’ to commemorate the centenary of the Railway Study Association (RSA) in 1909; the Association is now the Railway Study Forum of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport. Plenty has already been written about the railways of Britain. When the time came to celebrate the activities of the RSA, it occurred to this author that there was something missing. I felt that although it is self-evident that the railway today is very different to that of a century ago, the real point was that railways have been in a state of constant evolution, in part to respond to the changing conditions of the country and in part because of technological change. More importantly, this change will continue. Few people entering the in- dustry today can have much conception of what these changes will be, but change there will be: big changes too. What I wanted to highlight is the huge way the railway has altered, particularly in its technology and operational practices. This has happened, with great success, under diffi cult political and fi nancial conditions. Although the railway has lost much of its market share, the numbers of people carried today have recovered dramatically, and the fact this has been done on a much smaller system is an in- credible achievement that needs to be promoted.
