Introduction

This feature provides pictures of The Shakeseare Express - select from menu.

There is a separate photograph feature for the Vintage Trains' excursions.

The gallery will be updated as the our programme proceeds.

We hope you enjoy the views of our trains, and that it will encourage you to support us in keeping the mainline steam experience alive, by travelling with us on one of our future tours.

It is the revenue from these trains that provides the necessary income to continue to repair and maintain the locomotives and rolling stock.

Our special thanks are due to all fare-paying passengers, covenantors and other financial supporters and volunteers..

without whose continued support a primarily volunteer organisation like Vintage Trains could not operate. Together we are keeping the heritage of mainline steam alive!

Note to Photographers from the Webmaster

We are very grateful to the line-siders, observers and passengers who send in images of our trains. This provides interest for visitors to our websites. I am always looking for good photographs of our trains and engines (which must be taken from non-trespass positions) and invite you to send them for consideration for inclusion on this website. They may be used either now or at some time in the future.

These may be either recent or past i.e. in the preservation era or in the days of steam.

Please note that we may select from the photographs sent in for website display for inclusion in the VTS members' house magazine (Steam In Trust) & newsletter (Tyseley News). We may also select from the submitted photographs for use in our publicity material and advertising. This may also include publicity use by third-party organisations specifically in connection with their hire of our trains. Basically, we use the photographs to publicise and advertise Vintage Trains activities.

As Vintage Trains is a commercial arm part of a registered charity, any operating surpluses are directed to restoration and maintenance of the Tyseley Collection of locomotives and rolling stock. Many operational activities are carried out by volunteers. Therefore, we do not pay publication fees. Our use of submitted photographs as outlined above, is therefore considered to be a 'donation in kind' to the charity's aims of preserving mainline steam.
