- Here is a collection of clips showing some of the Vulcan Foundry's finest locos. The Vulcan Foundry was the home of English Electric who built many of the first generation diesels including:Class 15,20,31,37,40,50,55. The Vulcan Foundry also built many steam locos including a number of Black Five's amongst other steam locos. The Vulcan Foundry was located in Northwich and it opened in 1832 and closed in 1962.
I was an apprentice at the Vulcan back in 1964.

Ding ding! I'm a tram and I approve this video!
My grandfather used to test the electrics on the Deltic class going from the Vulcan Newton-le-Willows to Doncaster
Vulcan Foundry was actually in Newton-le-Willows and finally closed in 2002.
Thanks for sharing, I like the long intro before each loco passes, just like sitting at the railside again, with me abc in hand
indeed fine locos but the icing on the cake is that british icon royal scots grey i could have sat their all day watching your vid cam hanging out the window on her journey, the power & sound both superb , these deltics are the best loco ever to grace a railway line anywhere in the world, outstanding vid, thanks very much for your upload simply stunning
These are the good old days when we built our own diesels without interference from the continent you cannot beat the EE Diesels or Brush locomotives
Vulcan foundry in Northwich ? Sorry your miles out there it was in Newton - Le - Willows ( Merseyside ) - now a massive housing estate.
absolutely superb,love 22's thrash out of Kings X.
The Vulcan foundry that built these locos was in newton le willows which was then Lancashire and not in Northwich chesire.the first black five that was ever made was also made there .I also had an uncle that worked there most of his life .the Vulcan site is now another housing estate but Vulcan village still remains there.
British engineering at it's best.
Love the EE loco footage but please fix the incorrect info - The Vulcan Foundry was in Newton-le-Willows NOT Northwich and closed in 2002 not 1962. Maybe you're dead and can't fix this so knock 3 times and we'll ask UA-cam for permission to fix this.
Sorry no where near Northwich as I live in the Village created for the foundry workers and we are 5 miles north of warrington
Although im more a fan of steam locos I do love the soundtrack that's made by a Deltic.
does sound epic in the tunnels
Oh how I miss the 37s...a piece of art?
they are still around and hard at work to this day (2019)
Brings a lump to your throat, a longing in your heart and a desire for a taste of Clag from a silver and grey Tractor as it rumbles past...
sigh.
1st scene is 37009 and 37049 'imperial' great tractors!
dad served his time at vulcan george mottram we lived alderoot cottage turn after vulcan for burton wood ron stuart mac
First get rid of Steam...now get rid of the Diesels...and look at the shit we have today..a few `Hertitage` specials and imports from overseas...what a mess. Boy do our Politicians know how to fu-k things up for us all???
PLeASE tell me a lot of the 1st ones were the old big bore, slow winding Napier Deltic's. The newer ones were all right but they sounded like an airplane to me and the trail of blue smoke reminded me of a worn out Cummins. I really liked the old growlers. Thanks for a fine video!
No Deltics, first ones are class 37,s
DRS, Network Rail and many railtour company used tractors regularly. They still do their fair share of haulage
👍
Yeah i was gonna say that also!
Are 37s dead and buried or do they still work outside the preserved scene?
still alive and hard at work for 3 companies (DRS, Colas and WCRC) as of end 2019
13 minutes and passing the biggest toilet in London.....
Can you please put these back on showing the whole clip as it is really annoying
Unwatchable video. Far too many extended video sequences of empty track.
Too much empty track and waiting for a train.
