Locomotive Software was a small British software house that did most of its development for the home and small business computers of Amstrad in the 1980s. It was founded by Richard Clayton and Chris Hall on 14 February 1983. It wrote or contributed significantly to the ROMs of the Amstrad CPC 464, CPC 664 and CPC 6128 home computers and the Amstrad PCW word processor. Its Locomotive BASIC for the CPC range was a fast and highly featured implementation of BASIC for the time and later led to the development of Mallard BASIC for the CP/M Plus machines of Amstrad.
