'''Swiss Locomotive and Machine Works''' (German '''Schweizerische Lokomotiv- und Maschinenfabrik'''; French '''Société Suisse pour la Construction de Locomotives et de Machines'''; or for both, '''SLM''') was a railway equipment manufacturer based in [[Winterthur]] in [[Switzerland]]. Much of the world's [[mountain railway]] equipment was constructed by the company.
==History==
The company was founded in 1871 by the British engineer [[Charles Brown (British engineer)|Charles Brown]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.irsociety.co.uk/Archives/60/Letters_60.htm|title = Correspondence 60}}</ref> SLM built both [[steam locomotive|steam]] and [[electric locomotive]]s, including the [[Crocodile (locomotive)|crocodile]] type.
From 1992, SLM returned to producing steam locomotives designed around [[advanced steam technology]] principles. This included rebuilding [[DR Class 52.80]] locomotive number 52 8055.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://5at.co.uk/index.php/modern-steam-2/modern-steam-miscellany/dlm-52-8055.html|title = DLM's Kriegslok 52-8055 &#124; 5AT Advanced Steam Locomotive Project}}</ref>
In 1998, the cog-railway division was sold to [[Stadler Rail]], and the engineering division, via [[Adtranz]], to [[Bombardier Transportation]]. The remaining business was renamed Sulzer-Winpro AG and as part of a management buyout in 2001, was renamed Winpro AG.
The advanced steam division was sold in 2000 to Dampflokomotiv- und Maschinenfabrik AG (Steam Locomotive and Machine Works Ltd), or DLM AG.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.internationalsteam.co.uk/trains/newsteam/modern.htm#Sulzer| title=Sulzer Winpro sells Steam Business to Hug Engineering| work=International Working Steam Locomotives| author=Dickinson, Rob| access-date=2008-03-06}}</ref>
In October 2001, the measurement division was sold to PROSE AG.
Winpro AG was sold on 7 September 2005 to Stadler Rail.
