Scanned version of an old Vulcan catalog, also the Vulcan Magazine. Note: this is the UK Vulcan, not the US Vulcan Iron Works. http://www.enuii.org/vulcan_foundry/index.htm ryarger@rypn.org |

Two very interesting links. Thank you for bringing them to light. The catalogue would appear to date from around 1920. The French 2-8-0's built by Vulcan Foundry were constructed in 1919. The last of what became class 140C was not withdrawn from service until 1975. A number are preserved, I think two are servicable. A Vulcan, 140C38 is preserved at Caen. Regarding the Chinese 4-8-4's, apart from the one at York N.R.M. which was presented by the Chinese government another is now on display at the newly opened railway museum in Beijing. jimlivesey@btopenworld.com |
