Shedplate 84A Wolverhampton Stafford Road 1949-September 1963, then Plymouth Laira September 1963-June 1973. The ex GWR shed at Wolverhampton had a star studded allocation throughout its BR life. In 1950 its allocation of 66 locos included 5 Counties, 10 Castles, 6 Stars, 6 Kings, 8 Halls and 2 Granges! By 1959, while the overall total had reduced to 47, its King allocation had gone up by 2! Plymouth Laira, formerly 83D, used this code for 7 months before it lost its steam allocation. However some of its diesels were known to have carried this style of plate. Lightly face restored, rear and edge with clear Swindon casting marks.
