The company's history can be traced back to the establishment of an engineering workshop in Kilmarnock in 1840 by Andrew Barclay. It produced numeroussteam locomotivesduring the nineteenth century and, during the following century, it produced severalfirelessanddiesel locomotivesas well. Ownership of the company has been exchanged several times, having become aprivate limited companyin 1892. It was acquired by theHunslet Groupduring 1972, after which it was renamedHunslet-Barclay.

During the twenty-first century, the business has changed hands multiple times, having been purchased by LH Group in December 2003, then becoming part of theFKI Groupunder the nameBrush-Barclayduring 2007. Four years later, bothBrush Tractionand Brush-Barclay were acquired by the multinational railway engineering companyWabtec.During July 2020, the Kilmarnock works was acquired and reopened by Brodie Engineering Ltd after Wabtec had opted to close down the site. In early 2024,Porterbrooktook a stake in the business.

History

edit

Background

edit
The former offices in West Langland Street is now the HQ of development company The KLIN Group

Born in 1814, Andrew Barclay was only 25 years of age when he set up a partnership with Thomas McCulloch to manufacture mill shafts inKilmarnock,East Ayrshire,Scotland.Several years later, Barclay chose to branch out on his own to manufacture his patentedgas lamps.During 1847, he set up workshops specializing in the manufacture of winding engines for the local coal mining industry. However, the money from the sale of apatentgranted to the company's gas lamp design was never paid, leading to sequestration of the company during the following year.[citation needed]

By 1859, Barclay had recovered from this setback and his newly formed company produced its firststeam locomotive.Sometime around 1871, Barclay set up a second locomotive building business known asBarclays & Co,which he had set up for his younger brother, John, and his four son, yet this business remained closely associated with Andrew Barclay. Neither company enjoyed good fortunes, as they were both declared bankrupt in 1874 and 1882 respectively. Four years after this latest collapse, Andrew Barclay's business was relaunched asAndrew Barclay Sons & Co.Later on, Barclays & Co was also revived. During 1892, the firm became aprivate limited companyas Andrew Barclay Sons & Co., Ltd. Just two years later, Andrew was removed from control of the company which bore his name by its shareholders, after which he sued the company for unpaid wages, a matter which was settled out of court five years later.[citation needed]

During 1930, the company purchased a rival engine making business, John Cochrane (Barrhead) Ltd. In 1963, it acquired the goodwill of theNorth British Locomotive Company,Glasgow.[clarification needed][citation needed]

In 1972, the company was acquired by the Leeds-basedHunslet Groupof companies and its name was changed in 1989 toHunslet-Barclay Ltd.As such, it operated six ex-British Rail Class 20diesels to provide motive power for weed-killing trains used on the national rail network. Its manufacturing output in this period included eight additional centre trailer cars for theGlasgow Subway,which were delivered in 1992.[citation needed]

Twenty-first century

edit

The locomotive interests of Hunslet-Barclay were purchased by the Staffordshire-based conglomerate LH Group on 31 December 2003; thereafter, Hunslet-Barclay at Kilmarnock continuing in the business of design, manufacture and refurbishment of multiple units,rolling stock,bogiesand wheel-sets. Several Barclay locomotives were supplied through Lennox Lange, who acted as an agent for Barclay.[when?][citation needed]

The plant under Brush-Barclay ownership

During 2007, the company's poor financial position compelled it intoadministration.Shortly thereafter, the company was acquired by the Loughborough-based engineering companyBrush Tractionthrough its parent, theFKI Group.[2]To reflect its change in ownership, it was rebranded asBrush-Barclay.[3]

On 28 February 2011,Wabtecannounced that it had acquired Brush Traction forUS$31 million. Accordingly, the Kilmarnock works becameWabtec RailScotland.[4][5]

During early 2020, Wabtec announced its intention to close the Kilmarnock works and put it up for sale.[6]Several months later, the Kilmarnock firm Brodie Engineering acquired the site, after which it started operating two facilities within Kilmarnock, the other being at the Bonnyton Rail Depot within the Bonnyton Industrial Estate.[7]

During February 2024, it was announced that therolling stock companyPorterbrookhad agreed terms to purchase a 49 percent stake in Brodie Engineering; this move was promoted as bolstering support for multiple train operating companies.[1]

Products

Saddle tanks

edit

The company was noted for constructing simple robust locomotives, chiefly for industrial use, and many of its products survive in use on heritage railways, over 100 inBritain.A typical product would be an 0-4-0 with squared-offsaddle tank.

Fireless locomotives

edit

Barclay was the largest builder offireless locomotivesin Britain, building 114 of them between 1913 and 1961. They were used in munitions factories during WW1, and the closure of theGretna munitions factoryat the end of WW1 saw an 0-4-0 Barclay fireless loco of 2 foot gauge, and two 0-6-0 Barclay fireless locos of standard-gauge up for tender.[8]Few fireless locomotives are seen in action today. This is due to the low power of the locomotives, the long time needed to charge a locomotive from cold and the low steam pressures available for charging. Perhaps the only exception was "Lord Ashfield" (Andrew Barclay works no. 1989 of 1930) at the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester that ran for a while in the 1990s sharing a steam supply with the stationary exhibits in their exhibition hall.

Diesel locomotives

edit

The company built dieselshunting locomotivesfor industry and forBritish Rail.Classes includedBritish Rail Class D2/5,British Rail Class 01andBritish Rail Class 06.

Export

edit

Over 80 Andrew Barclay locomotives were supplied to railways in Ireland (Irish Turf Board/Bord na Móna), Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Sri Lanka (Sri Lanka Port Authority).[9]

Preservation

edit
699 "Swanscombe" is the oldest surviving Andrew Barclay locomotive, dating from 1891.
1245 represents the 0-6-0 side tank locomotives built by Andrew Barclay.
1952 is the only operational Fireless Andrew Barclay in the UK.
2139 "Salmon" is one of the 0-6-0 Andrew Barclay saddle tanks.
2248 "Albert" is a representative of the more powerful 16 inch Andrew Barclay 0-4-0 saddle tanks.
2274 (NCB No. 22) is a representative of the 14 inch Andrew Barclay 0-4-0 saddle tanks.

A large number of various ABS&Co locomotives have been preserved, proving popular on many Heritage Railways and Railway Centres, as listed below.
