Chinese KF7, built by Vulcan, in the National Railway Museum in York Vulcan Foundry works plate No. 3977 of 1926 on LMS Fowler Class 3F No. 47406 in 2012. Details of the earliest locomotives are not precisely known despite an "official" list apparently concocted in the 1890s which contains a lot of guesswork and invention, with many quite fictitious locomotives, for the period before 1845.
The 2-4-0 type tender locomotives were ordered by the GIPR to operate on the first railway line in India. The Vulcan Foundry rotation numbers of these were from 324-331, while the working numbers were 680-687. [1] These locomotives had a water capacity of 800 gallons (3028.33 Litres), and a tender capacity of 600 gallons (2271.25 Litres).
The Class KF (聯盟型, 'Confederation class', re-designated "ㄎㄈ" or "KF") was a 4-8-4 mainline passenger steam locomotive type built in the United Kingdom by the Vulcan Foundry for the railways of China. Between 1935 and 1936, 24 locomotives were built for the Guangzhou–Hankou Railway, designated as the 600 series. [1]
The London, Brighton and South Coast Railway C2 class was a class of 0-6-0 steam locomotives, intended for heavy freight trains. Fifty-five were built by the Vulcan Foundry between 1893 and 1902 to the design of Robert J. Billinton. Forty-five of these were later rebuilt between 1908 and 1940, with a larger boiler as the C2X class.
The new owners had to procure a fleet of locomotives, carriages, and wagons quickly. The four A 4 locomotives were bought from the Vulcan Foundry of Newton-le-Willows, England in 1871. They had originally been part of an order of six locomotives for the Somerset and Dorset Railway.
The TR MK class, later known as the EAR 25 class, was a class of 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 + 3 ⁄ 8 in) gauge 2-8-2 steam locomotives.The eleven members of the class were built by Vulcan Foundry, in Newton-le-Willows, Lancashire (now part of Merseyside), England, for the Tanganyika Railway (TR).
The Indian locomotive class WCG-1 (originally classified as EF/1) is a class of 1.5 kV DC freight-hauling electric locomotives that were developed in the late 1920s by Vulcan Foundry and Swiss Locomotive and Machine Works (SLM) for the Great Indian Peninsula Railway. A total of 41 WCG-1 locomotives were built in England between 1928 and 1929.
