LMS Scientific Research Laboratory, Railway research facility in Derby, United Kingdom.
The London, Midland and Scottish Railway scientific center stands on the western side of London Road with dedicated laboratories and testing equipment.
The laboratory, established in 1923, merged paint, varnish, textile research, and metallurgy operations from different facilities into one central location.
The facility contributed to British industrial advancement through aerodynamic studies of locomotives and railway infrastructure development in the 20th century.
The building now houses the Zaytouna School, an Islamic primary education institution, following its transformation from scientific research purposes in 2012.
The laboratory included a specialized aerodynamics section that tested 1/24 scale models to analyze smoke deflectors and train-station infrastructure interactions.
