Welcome to the Heritage Rail Traction gallery. From our 10,000 sq ft works in Manchester, our team of time-served boilersmiths, engineers, and fabricators bring over 200 years of combined expertise to every project. We don’t just repair; we manufacture. Our gallery showcases our capacity to handle the most demanding heavy engineering tasks in the rail industry. Whether it’s reverse engineering obsolete components in our pattern shop or performing ASME IX coded welding on structural platework, our work is defined by technical rigour.
