A Pengelly & Co was an Australian furniture manufacturer, motor car and rolling stock body maker in Adelaide, Australia.[1] It had a three acre factory on South Road, Edwardstown.[2]
Between 1910 and 1912 it assembled D and E type trams for the Municipal Tramways Trust from knocked down kits manufactured by JG Brill Company in the United States.[3] Between 1921 and 1929, it manufactured 81 F type trams followed by 30 H types.[4]
In 1912/13, eleven Islington Railway Workshops built frames were bodied for the South Australian Railways' Holdfast Bay line.[5] In 1913, eight trams were built for the Victorian Railways.[6][7][8] In 1916 it was awarded a contract to body four D class dining carriages for the Commonwealth Railways.[9][10] In 1924/25, eight trams were built for the State Electricity Commission of Victoria's Geelong system.[11]
On 25 December 1913, much of the factory was destroyed in a fire. Only the factory that bodied railway carriages and trams survived.[2][12]
