The purpose of this site is
to act as a focus for those interested in the world famous quality
locomotive building company Beyer Peacock who produced around
8000 locomotives of which almost 400 survive. Much of the detailed
information is in Adobe pdf format and links have been included
with other Beyer Peacock related sites to save duplication of
information.
Beyer Peacock had its own
in house Quarterly Review which contained detailed information
about the company and its products. It is hoped that some of
the advertisements and articles will be included as time permits.
Fortunately when the company closed many of the Beyer Peacock
records were saved by Dr. Richard Hills and are now held at the
Museum of Science and Industry, Manchester.
Much of the information has
been taken from the two epic volumes of Beyer Peacock's Locomotive
Output produced by Joe Lloyd and many of the locomotive drawings
have been provided by Peter Manning which provide some further
detailed information.
