Darlington Works

Additionally works (paint and boiler shop) were constructed west of the S&DR railway in the Stooperdale area of Darlington.

[1][3] In 1914, a class of NER Bo-Bo electric locomotives was built at the works to run between Shildon and Newport.

Under the LNER it continued to play a major role, producing a new engine each week, with Gresley's K3 class 2-6-0 appearing in 1924.

Darlington works built six LNER Class K4 2-6-0 locomotives in 1937/38 for operation on the West Highland Line.

3442 (later 61994) The Great Marquess has been preserved in full working order and in 2009 was still hauling special steam trains on the UK main line network.
