Scanned version of an old Vulcan catalog, also the Vulcan Magazine. Note: this is the UK Vulcan, not the US Vulcan Iron Works.

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 The last of what became class 140C was not withdrawn from service until 1975.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.
