Classification Detail

This class includes manufacture of: -rail locomotives: rail locomotives powered from an external source of electricity or by electric accumulators; diesel-electric locomotives; rail locomotives powered by compression ignition engines or rail locomotives powered by other means (e.g. gas turbine, steam engine, spark-ignition engine), and locomotive tenders. -self-propelled railway or tramway coaches, vans and trucks regardless of power source. Included is the manufacture of self-propelled railway or tramway maintenance or service vehicles (e.g. workshops, cranes, testing coaches). -railway or tramway rolling stock, not self-propelled: passenger coaches, goods vans, tank wagons, self-discharging vans and wagons, and workshop vans, crane vans, etc. -specialized parts of railway or tramway locomotives or of rolling-stock: bogies, axles and wheels; brakes and parts of brakes; hooks and coupling devices, buffers and buffer parts; shock absorbers (but not springs); wagon and locomotive frames; bodies; corridor connections, etc. -mechanical (including electro-mechanical) signalling, safety or traffic control equipment for railways, tramways, roads, inland waterways, parking facilities, port installations or airfields. The activities classified here result in apparatus in which the signal, etc., is operated from a control point, generally at some distance, by movement of cranks, levers, rods, wires, chains, etc., by hydro-pneumatic devices or electric motors (e.g. signal box equipment, point locks, railbrakes, automatic fog-signalling apparatus, level crossing control gear). Exclusions: Manufacture of unassembled rails is classified in class 2710 (Manufacture of basic iron and steel). Manufacture of engines and turbines is classified in class 2911. Manufacture of electric motors is classified in class 3110 (Manufacture of electric motors, generators and transformers). Manufacture of electrical signalling, safety or traffic control equipment is classified in class 3190 (Manufacture of other electrical equipment n.e.c.).
