We are always on the lookout for photographs to scan in for the site, this page contains some of the best ones received. 

One from Graeme Pilkington's collection showing an engine being fitted into a Type 4 Locomotive (Class 40) sometime around 1960 at a guess.

Peter & Tracy Kirk have donated this photograph believed to have been taken in 1912 of an unidentified group of workers.

The only further information I have is that the photograph has a biro written inscription on the back that says 'my father working at the Vulcan works at Earlestown around 1912', I believe that his name surname was probably 'Guest'.

(if you have seen this photo before know and have any further or more accurate information then let me know).

This photograph is quite a find as it is an original colour photograph of one of the 2-10-2 locomotives built for the Iranian State Railways in 1954.
 
A stunning colour photograph donated by Kath Howarth from her parents (Dorothy & Ken Eaton) collection.

This photo supplied by Graeme Pilkington was taken in 1926 and shows a  4-6-2  locomotive 
destined for Buenos Ayres Great Southern Railway (SUD).

Brian Orrell and Eric Rimmer had identified the chap in this photo as Arthur Thompson who was a Foreman in tender shop.

Another Gem from Dorcas Kilduff this time showing one of the largest steam loco's built by the Vulcan Foundry
this time a 2-10-2 destined for the Iranian Railway.

This photograph was taken in either 1952 or 1954 and shows a group of foundry workers stood in front of one of the loco's being test steamed.

Dorcas Kilduff has kindly sent this photo in from the photo album of her father Donald Hulme, Dorcas says:-

Seeing the picture that you sent reminded me of one in a photo album and so I have attached a copy. 
The train was one of those built in 1946-47 to re-establish the railway system in Europe after the war.
 
The men are (R-L) Asst. Chief Draughtsman - James (Jimmy) Dyson, Managing Director - William Whalley, Harold Hulme - Chief Engineer, and Works Manager - Joe Hindley.
