Locomotive – Where can I find diagrams of locomotives?

June 20, 2019, 2:07 PM

In the UK, diagrams from major locomotive manufacturers are preserved at several libraries:

Mitchell Library, Glasgow (drawings from North British Locomotive)
University Library ‘Business Archives’, Glasgow (also NBL)
Museum of Science and Industry, Manchester (Beyer Peacock drawings)
National Rail Museum, York
In India, diagrams and other data are preserved at:

National Railway Museum, Delhi. Not many engineering drawings, but the NRM does have a large, if haphazard, collection of diagrams. Recently [4/02] a separate section called Indian Rail Archives has been set up at the NRM, with many diagrams and other material available to the public for perusal.
Research, Design, and Standards Organization of IR
Production units and major repair workshops might still have some of the engineering drawings of older locos. A personal visit to a workshop with authorization from the CME is the only way to get access to these.
It may also be possible to get information and specification sheets from manufacturers such as TELCO or BHEL directly. Overseas too, information may sometimes be obtained from manufacturers or firms that are successors to the original manufacturers. (CLW -> Bombardier, SLM -> DLM, etc.)

A diagram of a Darjeeling Himalayan Railway ‘B’ class loco that originally appeared in the Railway Board’s Technical Bulletin No. 58 (1899 or so) has been much reprinted in DHR-related publications. Other drawings of ‘B’ locos are:

A & B class 0-4-0Ts, drawings by D. John & S. Bell. Indian Railway Study Group Newsletter, No. 6, July 1992, pp. 8-9. Great detail.
Roche, F.J., “Darjeeling-Himalaya(sic) Railway 0-4-0 Tank,” (Class B) Railway Modeller, Vol. 8, No. 85, November 1957, p. 259. 4mm scale. These have several errors.
Back, N.T., “Darjeeling-Himalaya(sic) Railway Class B 0-4-OST,” Model Railway News, Vol. 43, No. 508, April 1967, pp. 180-181. 7mm scale.
The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway Supporters Association of Australia (see the section on organizations) provides members a comprehensive list of DHR loco diagrams.
