List of locomotive builders — BrandWiki
BrandWiki / List of locomotive builders List of locomotive builders This list of locomotive builders (companies, government agencies and railways) is ordered by country and includes both modern-day and defunct builders. Since many entities changed their names over time, the most recognisable name is used – generally the one used for the longest time or during the entity's best-known period.
Note: Two factors affect this list's reliability: the preponderance of unreferenced entries and the inconsistency in frequency and coverage of updates.
Argentina Defunct companies Astarsa Fábrica Argentina de Locomotoras GAIA Australia Australia's mainline railways, owned by the governments of the six British colonies, imported locomotives from the United Kingdom and United States. Domestic production, by companies and railways alike, began about 1890, though locomotives continued to be imported after that.

United Kingdom Historically, major railways in the United Kingdom built the vast majority of their locomotives. Commercial locomotive builders were called upon when requirements exceeded the railway works' capacity, but these orders were generally to the railways' own designs. British commercial builders concentrated on industrial users, small railway systems, and to a large extent the export market. British-built locomotives were exported around the world, especially to the British Empire . With the almost total disappearance of British industrial railways, the shrinking of the export market and much reduced demand from Britain's railways, few British locomotive builders survive.
