The North British Locomotive Company, also called NBL, NB Loco or North British, was created in 1903 through the merger of three Glasgow locomotive manufacturers: Sharp, Stewart and Company, Neilson, Reid and Company, and Dubs and Company. It became the largest locomotive manufacturing company in Europe and the British Empire and the second largest in the world after the Baldwin Locomotive Works. Its main factories were in Springburn, Glasgow, and it built locomotives for railways around the world, among them the South African Class 25. The company went into liquidation in 1962.
