It comprises of a collection of colour and black & white images featuring this famous works from the Great Northern and London & North Eastern Railways.

For more than 125 years, Doncaster Works constructed locomotives for the Great Northern Railway, then as a part of the London & North Eastern Railway and finally British Railways. It was from here that the Stirling ‘Singles’, Ivatt’s Atlantics and Gresley’s Pacifics including the famous Flying Scotsman and the world speed holder for steam, ‘Mallard’, emerged. The final locomotives to be constructed on site were the BR-built diesel-electric Classes 56 and 58 – today only carriage and refurbishment takes place in a town once famous for producing Gresley’s ‘racehorses’ and ‘streaks for the east coast route from London to Edinburgh.
