<h2 id="history">History</h2> <h3>LSWR</h3> <p>The <a href="/facts/London_and_South_Western_Railway/pbHwpqts">London and South Western Railway</a> (LSWR) opened a carriage and wagon works at Eastleigh in 1891. In 1903, the Chief Mechanical Engineer, <a href="/facts/Dugald_Drummond/ldYTkxIl">Dugald Drummond</a>, oversaw the construction of a large <a href="/facts/Motive_power_depot/EmMMy7Pu">motive power depot</a> in the town; replacing the existing maintenance and repair shops at <a href="/facts/Northam%2c_Southampton/hHbhSbpE">Northam, Southampton</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:1" href="#fn:1"><sup>1</sup></a> In January 1910, locomotive building was likewise transferred to the new workshops at Eastleigh from <a href="/facts/Nine_Elms_Locomotive_Works/jQ0V9a4o">Nine Elms</a> in London. </p><p>The first locomotives built at Eastleigh were the two <a href="/facts/LSWR_S14_class/x7oveTkh">S14</a> <a href="/facts/0-4-0/KF2j2Y9r">0-4-0</a><a href="/facts/Side_tank_locomotive/vv8ozTgy">T</a> delivered in September 1910, and these were followed by Eastleigh's first tender locomotives, the five <a href="/facts/LSWR_P14_class/25cccQHd">P14</a> <a href="/facts/4-6-0/GYNMe4Vm">4-6-0</a>, delivered between October 1910 and February 1911.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:2" href="#fn:2"><sup>2</sup></a> </p><p>Among the other locomotives produced by the LSWR under Drummond at Eastleigh, were the <a href="/facts/LSWR_M7_Class/hFtUnzqo">M7</a> <a href="/facts/0-4-4/sANnBpbA">0-4-4</a> tank engines, the <a href="/facts/LSWR_T14_class/j23T6B91">T14</a> <a href="/facts/4-6-0/GYNMe4Vm">4-6-0</a>, and <a href="/facts/LSWR_D15_Class/gGYYsapt">D15</a> <a href="/facts/4-4-0/l08RCxAm">4-4-0</a>, classes. Following the appointment of <a href="/facts/Robert_Urie/v7egGp3c">Robert Urie</a> as Chief Mechanical Engineer in 1912, the works were responsible for the construction of the <a href="/facts/LSWR_Class_H15/1Df5m18S">H15</a>, <a href="/facts/LSWR_Class_S15/PDV2WIEI">S15</a>, and <a href="/facts/LSWR_Class_N15/BsaerXk4">N15</a> (King Arthur) <a href="/facts/4-6-0/GYNMe4Vm">4-6-0</a> classes, and the <a href="/facts/LSWR_G16_class/IpHNH4a2">G16</a> <a href="/facts/4-8-0/d2hwa9RD">4-8-0</a>, and <a href="/facts/LSWR_H16_class/qgy0M2yR">H16</a> <a href="/facts/4-6-0/GYNMe4Vm">4-6-0</a> tank engines. </p> <h3>Southern Railway</h3> <p>Following the merger of the LSWR and other railways in southern England to form the <a href="/facts/Southern_Railway_(UK)/502pTkKd">Southern Railway</a>, as part of the <a href="/facts/Railways_Act_1921/ghBtQylG">Railways Act grouping</a> of 1923, Eastleigh was to become the principal works for the new railway. The new Chief Mechanical Engineer, <a href="/facts/Richard_Maunsell/f4567EU7">Richard Maunsell</a> re-organised the works and directed the design and construction of various new classes. </p><p>Like most of the railway works, Eastleigh was heavily involved in the war effort, producing, in 1938, sets of parts to convert <a href="/facts/Bristol_Blenheim/38sVDLte">Blenheim bombers</a> so that they could be used as fighters. The works was also part of a joint venture with other workshops, railway and private, to produce <a href="/facts/Airspeed_Horsa/Lvlpx9aH">Horsa gliders</a> for the <a href="/facts/D-Day/q4wsAqGV">D-Day</a> airborne assault. With <a href="/facts/Lancing_Carriage_Works/6JIg3uMe">Lancing</a> works, it turned out 200 tail units. It also produced 1,500 anti-tank gun barrels and, with <a href="/facts/Brighton_railway_works/y6QvVFEd">Brighton railway works</a>, 240 multiple rocket launchers, plus landing craft, fuel tenders and harbour launches. </p><p>Under the Southern Railway, the works were responsible for building the Maunsell <a href="/facts/SR_Lord_Nelson_Class/1d86PyCd">SR Lord Nelson Class</a> <a href="/facts/4-6-0/GYNMe4Vm">4-6-0</a>, the <a href="/facts/SR_Class_V/4wmU4v7P">Schools</a> <a href="/facts/4-4-0/l08RCxAm">4-4-0</a>, <a href="/facts/Southern_Railway_U1_Class/FUF6W7K2">U1</a> <a href="/facts/2-6-0/8JXoA0ek">2-6-0</a>, <a href="/facts/SR_Class_W/tkGDkTog">W class</a> <a href="/facts/2-6-4/96n0zhHK">2-6-4</a> tanks, and <a href="/facts/SR_Class_Q/rSHrm8qa">Q class</a> <a href="/facts/0-6-0/t45do1Qd">0-6-0</a> locomotives. Under the regime of <a href="/facts/Oliver_Bulleid/F2qHVKbd">Oliver Bulleid</a>, after 1937, Eastleigh works constructed all thirty of the <a href="/facts/SR_Merchant_Navy_Class/WbgsKb55">SR Merchant Navy Class</a> and six of the <a href="/facts/SR_West_Country_Class/1HxTM8Jq">West Country</a> <a href="/facts/4-6-2/AR3FJSbe">4-6-2</a>. During the <a href="/facts/Second_World_War/2efV5L1U">Second World War</a>, Eastleigh works built 23 examples of the <a href="/facts/London_Midland_and_Scottish_Railway/qk02TmfL">London Midland and Scottish Railway</a> designed <a href="/facts/LMS_Stanier_8F/HX80GYs3">8F</a> <a href="/facts/2-8-0/pSnUze6D">2-8-0s</a>. By the end of 1947, the works had built 304 locomotives with a further 16 before steam locomotive building ceased in 1950.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3"><sup>3</sup></a> </p><p>In 1945, the carriage works began constructing all-steel carriages, both electric and steam hauled. It pioneered the use of plastics and glass fibre reinforced resin for doors, seating and roof sections. </p> <h3>British Rail</h3> <p>In 1950, following the nationalisation of the Southern Railway to form the <a href="/facts/Southern_Region_of_British_Railways/trL8CMgy">Southern Region of British Railways</a> new steam locomotive building ceased at Eastleigh. However the works were kept fully occupied between 1956 and 1961 in rebuilding over 90 of the Bulleid 4-6-2 classes. Thereafter the works gradually changed over to steam and diesel repairs. </p><p>In 1962, the works was again reorganised with the carriage works site being sold, and carriage and <a href="/facts/Electric_multiple_unit/DMfyIY2n">electric multiple unit</a> repairs transferred to the main locomotive works. In 1962, Eastleigh Works built the first six electro-diesel locomotives of <a href="/facts/British_Rail_Class_73/a9SGdUxu">British Rail Class 73</a> but the remainder of the class were built at the <a
