Scope and Content Queen's Park Locomotive Works, No 321 Aitkenhead Road, Glasgow This works was founded in 1864 as the Glasgow Locomotive Works by Henry Dubs, formerly works manager of Neilson & Co's Hyde Park Works. In 1903 it became part of the North British Locomotive Co Ltd, who renamed it the Queen's Park works. This shows the frontage to Aitkenhead Road of what were probably the original erecting shops of the works. The steel-framed bay on the right is later, probably part of the additions made by the North British Locomotive Co Ltd in 1906-8. The works was reorganised in 1955-6 to make diesel-electric and diesel-hydraulic locomotives, and was the last of the three North British Locomotive Co Ltd to operate. It closed in 1963, and much of the complex was demolished. The erecting shop was taken over as an aluminium rolling mill. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
