The Brookville Locomotive Company (nowadays known as the Brookville Equipment Company) began operations in 1918 converting Ford gasoline trucks for rail use with flanged wheels. By the 1920s they were making their own locomotives [1], many of them small petrol engine powered shunters (switchers) which found their way into many industrial users fleets.

Two locomotives are in the Statfold Barn Railway collection having once worked for Charles Matthews Ltd. in Thornhill, Ontario, Canada. Brookville 3526 (built 1949) and 3746 (build 1951) are narrow gauge (610mm gauge) switchers which were both bought over from Canada to the Statfold Barn Railway in Staffordshire for restoration and preservation.
