Seven locos were built by this company in 1915, but it is not know whether they all had the ornate style of plate. Most of the locos went new to the WD or the Ministry of Munitions and were later sold to industry. DK also built steam trams and locos from 1883 until 1918. The only loco of 1915 definitely recorded with the ornate plates, is 2' 6 gauge 0-6-2T OC No 40 on the Chatterden & Upnor Rly in Kent which of course was WD owned at that time. The earliest ornate plate recorded is of 1893, but by 1901 the plainer style of plate was utilised. There does not appear to be an actual date when plate styles were changed as they appear to be mixed up. Until 1883 the company was known as W B DICK & CO.

Buckinghamshire Railway 12 inch, drop dial, fusee Trunk Clock supplied to the Railway in 1850 by the world renowned Thwaites and Reed of London. The movement number 'T&R 11085' can be traced from the Thwaites and Reed records and these confirm the origin. The case is made from mahogany with a wonderful, flame mahogany veneer to the front.

Has the traditional, ringed pillars associated with T&R and is also stamped on the front plate 'T&R 11085'. The dial has been repainted by the Western Region. Additionally, whilst acquiring typical GWR / BR-W broad spade hands, it was also fitted with a BR-W ivorine plate 'BR-WR 4833'.

GWR Swiss made Pocket Watch number 03050 with an interesting chain that has a 9 carat gold clasp. The enamel face has GWR 05050 within and a second hand below. There is a small, touched-in chip between 4 & 5, the glass is somewhat scuffed but could easily be replaced. The back is engraved with the same and although the engraving isn't horizontal, it does match up indicating the case was probably changed at some point. It belonged to an ex BR Guard, who later became an Inspector. Appears to be in full working order but not guaranteed.
