Winson Engineering was a British manufacturer of narrow gauge and miniature railway steam locomotives and rolling stock during the 1990s. It built several new locomotives for heritage railways as well as undertaking major rebuilds of existing locomotives.
Winson was founded in the mid-1980s, although it was not incorporated until 21 March 1990. The engineering works were initially at the harbour in Porthmadog. In 1988, the company moved to Penrhyndeudraeth. In 1995 the company moved again to Daventry. In June 2001 the company went into receivership and subsequently closed.
At the time of liquidation the company was building a replica of the Manning Wardle locomotive Yeo for the Lynton & Barnstaple Railway. The frames are currently (2010) in storage awaiting further work.
Winson 20 Mark Timothy was unusable as delivered, and was subsequently rebuilt by Alan Keef Ltd in 2003.
