Details of The McNair Collection
Reference: The McNair Collection
Title: The A McNair collection of railway photographs
Description:

The McNair collection covers a wide range of railways in Britain with LMS locomotives, including those built for the Midland Railway and LNWR well represented. There are also images of railways in Scotland, mainly LMS locomotives originally used by the North British, Caledonian and Highland Railways. Photographs of Southern Railway engines include LBSCR and South Eastern & Chatham Railway locomotives. McNair continued taking photographs in the British Railways era, particularly of steam operations, and also photographed the original Railway Museum at Queen Street in York and early preserved steam workings. The collection also reveals an interest in narrow gauge, industrial railways and French locomotives.

 

There are no finding aids, and access to this collection is difficult.
