'Beyer-Peacock' was an English railway Locomotive manufacturer with a factory in Gorton, Manchester. Founded by Charles Beyer and Richard Peacock, it traded from 1854 until 1966.
Important designs were the Beyer-Garratt articulated locomotives widely used in Africa (and Australia) and the 4-4-0 tank locomotives used on the London Underground from 1864 until electrification in 1905. This design then evolved into a 2-4-0 for Norway and finally the famous Manx Peacock design for the Isle of Man Railway
The first Garratt locomotive constructed was TGR K Class for the Tasmanian Government Railways on the western Tasmanian North East Dundas Tramway
In addition to building steam locomotives, Beyer Peacock also built the 10 British Rail Class 82, 25KV AC electric locomotives to a Metropolitan Vickers design, and the 101 British Rail Class 35 diesel hydraulic locomotives.
