Scope and Content Locomotive Repairs Workshops (Shed), Waterside Iron Works, Dalmellington, East Ayrshire The Dalmellington Iron Works was opened in 1848 to make iron from ironstone and coal mined on the plateau to the north east of the Doon Valley. The woks closed in 1921. The surviving coal mines were sold to Bairds and Dalmellington Ltd in 1931, and nationalised in 1947. This shows a locomotive outside the new corrugated asbestos-clad locomotive shed built by the National Coal Board in the 1950s to house the locomotives used on their extensive railway system in the Doon Valley. This locomotive was built in 1949 for the National Coal Board. After the National Coal Board ended deep mining in the Doon Valley in 1978 this locomotive shed was sold to the Dalmellington and District Conservation Trust, It now houses locomotives belonging to East Ayrshire Council, and to the Ayrshire Railway Preservation Group.
