History

. Sometime around 1871, Barclay set up a second locomotive building business known as ''Barclays & Co'', which he had set up for his younger brother, John, and his four son, yet this business remained closely associated with Andrew Barclay. Neither company enjoyed good fortunes, as they were both declared bankrupt in 1874 and 1882 respectively. Four years after this latest collapse, Andrew Barclay's business was relaunched as ''Andrew Barclay Sons & Co''. Later on, Barclays & Co was also revived. During 1892, the firm became a

as Andrew Barclay Sons & Co., Ltd. Just two years later, Andrew was removed from control of the company which bore his name by its shareholders, after which he sued the company for unpaid wages, a matter which was settled out of court five years later. During 1930, the company purchased a rival engine making business, John Cochrane (Barrhead) Ltd. In 1963, it acquired the goodwill of the

In 1972, the company was acquired by the Leeds-based Hunslet Group of companies and its name was changed in 1989 to ''Hunslet-Barclay Ltd''. As such, it operated six ex- British Rail Class 20 diesels to provide motive power for weed-killing trains used on the national rail network. Its manufacturing output in this period included eight additional centre trailer cars for the Glasgow Subway, which were delivered in 1992.

Twenty-first century

The locomotive interests of Hunslet-Barclay were purchased by the Staffordshire-based conglomerate LH Group on 31 December 2003; thereafter, Hunslet-Barclay at Kilmarnock continuing in the business of design, manufacture and refurbishment of multiple units,

Fireless locomotives

Barclay was the largest builder of fireless locomotives in Britain, building 114 of them between 1913 and 1961. They were used in munitions factories during WW1, and the closure of the Gretna munitions factory at the end of WW1 saw an 0-4-0 Barclay fireless loco of 2 foot gauge, and two 0-6-0 Barclay fireless locos of standard-gauge up for tender. Few fireless locomotives are seen in action today. This is due to the low power of the locomotives, the long time needed to charge a locomotive from cold and the low steam pressures available for charging. Perhaps the only exception was "Lord Ashfield" (Andrew Barclay works no. 1989 of 1930) at the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester that ran for a while in the 1990s sharing a steam supply with the stationary exhibits in their exhibition hall.
