Nameplate, GREAT EASTERN with original Crest above. Ex BR built 4-6-2 Pacific Class A1 Locomotive number 60157, built under Works number 2051 at Doncaster works in November 1949. Shopped out in BR blue livery, it was repainted in BR green and nameplates applied 2 years later. Because the name of this loco and also North British, Great Northern, North Eastern and Great Central were constituents of the LNER, it was decided to fit modified nameplates able to carry a circular steel crest above the name. Initially allocated to Kings Cross, it wasn't long before a move to Grantham ensued. Later years saw the allocation change to Doncaster and withdrawal finally came in January 1965. The plate is in excellent condition and the crest too is superb. Hand painted on the back, just visible beneath the patina is 'Left Hand'. Possibly face restored a long time ago. Stamped in one end two other class members being North British, Great Central and Great Eastern itself. The matching Worksplate is in the following lot.

Condition is good considering age and needs to sorted into geographical order.

Southern Railway double sided, wooden platform fingerboard, both sides read ALL STATIONS TO SOUTHAMPTON TERMINUS.

The Train stopped at Medstead, Ropley, Alresford, Itchen Abbas, Winchester City, Shawford, Eastleigh, Swaythling, St Denys, and Northam. Southampton Terminus closed in 1966 and is a very difficult name to find on any signage.

Nameplate, BUDLEIGH SALTERTON with original 'Devon' Enamel Shield in its original brass surround and original West Country Class Scroll. Ex Southern Railway 'West Country' Class 4-6-2 Pacific number 21C114, built Eastleigh in November 1945 with naming taking place in June 1946. Renumbered to 34014 under the British Railways regime in November 1949. Air-smooth casing removed and loco rebuilt in March 1958 after 573,677 miles service . An Exmouth Junction loco for the majority of the time but also saw a stint at Brighton. Withdrawn in March 1965 after 837,477 miles service and cut up by Birds at Bridgend. This is the early, thin casting with packing washers brazed onto the back. There are two hairline cracks around the bottom 2 bolt holes, no doubt caused by stress running at high speeds over Southern metals. The set is totally original, with the crest having some minor restoration, as was usual with these and both plate and scroll are face restored. One of only three WCs with two lines, the others being Blandford Forum and Blackmoor Vale. The Shield with the Devon Crest is ex loco on the rear and still retains its original, thin steel retaining band which has severe corrosion at the base. The hairline cracks in the main nameplate had been 'stopped and plugged' by Eastleigh which did the trick because judging by the patina on the back, it was carried until withdrawal without further problems.
