Two first class coaches are noted as ordered from the firm in 1839 by the Eastern Counties Railway of England at a cost of £420 each.

[2][3] A further 119 engines were built or constructed at Broadstone until the MGWR's amalgamation to form Great Southern Railways (GSR) in 1925.

[6] The site evolved around the Broadstone railway station to serve the requirements of the MGWR and also incorporated a steam servicing depot.

A set of buildings to the north of the station and the west of the main line housed locomotive, boiler, carriage, machine and paint shops.

To the south of the station accessed by a line passing by the locomotive sheds and over a filled in dock of the Royal Canal lay the wagon build and repair shops.
