Ample opportunity is given for viewing and the Buyer by making a bid acknowledges that he has satisfied himself fully before bidding, by inspection or otherwise, as to its condition. This includes the physical condition and description including, but not restricted to, whether the lot is damaged or has been repaired.       

 

10.             Catalogue descriptions

The Auctioneer undertakes that care has been taken to see that catalogue descriptions, including rarity, origin and condition, are accurate and reliable, taking into account all the information available when the catalogue was prepared, but these are necessarily matters of opinion only and shall not be taken to be statements of fact. Subject to Condition 11 neither the Seller nor the Auctioneer is responsible for the correctness of any description. Any comments on the catalogue, lots or descriptions should be made to the Auctioneer before the date of the sale and not on the day of the sale, as this provides no opportunity to check any queries.

An Incredible Rare Treasure Unearthed. A C/I. Oval Wagon plate “CITY OF BIRMINGHAM, BUILDERS, GAS DEPARTMENT”. Dug up from the Ex Cambrian Railway Works carriage siding’s in Oswestry, now part of a new building development site. The vendor was erecting a new boundary fence, while digging out a hole, hit & unearthed this historic, never seen before plate. WHAT A FIND!!. UNTOUCHED. Size 8½”x 5”. Further info has revealed that this plate probably came off a 4 wheel wagon that were used in the building of the “The Élan Valley Dams and Reservoirs” in the late 19th & early 20th century. Building of the railway began in 1893. It was built of standard gauge and built in four stages. A double junction was built to join it to the Cambrian Railway near Rhayader.The Élan Valley Railway Branch Line was inspected and passed by a Board of Trade Inspector in July 1894 and the Élan Valley Railway branch was officially born. Railway 4 took the route to Craig Goch Dam. Blasting the cutting mid-way along the route held up the construction by 3 months, earning itself the name Devil’s Gulch. The sharp curve of the tracks required short wheelbase locomotives. The locomotives were all named after rivers and streams on the Estate. The first two were acquired in April 1894 and were named Élan and Claerwen. These were joined by Nant Gwyllt and Methan in October and Rhiwnant and Calettwr in 1895. The Visitor Centre has been converted from the old workshops and part of the car park was the site of the locomotive shed and sidings. By 1898 the steep 1:33 gradients of the railway had taken their toll on the original locomotives, so Coel and Marchnant were bought. At its busiest time the railway had an estimated 53 kilometres (33 miles) of track. Seventeen coaches were used for transporting men to the work sites and the tracks were used for steam powered cranes, power drills and crushers. In 1906 the Birmingham Corporation Water Works locomotives were sold. In 1908 the Élan Valley Double Junction was dismantled. Finally in 1916 the Élan Valley Railway was completely closed. You can now retrace the old route of the railway by following the Elan Valley Trail, which runs for 13 kilometres (8 miles) from Cwmdauddwr (just outside Rhayader) to Craig Goch Dam.

A Brass Locomotive Nameplate “MILTON”. B17/6 class 5P (originally 4P) 4-6-0 Tender Locomotive – BR number 61635 was built by the L.N.E.R. and was named MILTON after the home near Peterborough of Earl Fitzwilliam. The locomotive was built at Darlington in 1931 entering service that July as a B17/2. The class was originally designed for the GE routes of the L.N.E.R. but the axle weight allowed them only onto certain GE main lines. They performed reasonably well in service but many were rebuilt with 100A boilers raising the boiler pressure to 225psi which raised their overall performance to a higher level, the rebuilds were re-classified B17/6.

MILTON was built as L.N.E.R. number 2835 and later carried the numbers 1635 and 61635 from Jan 1949 when rebuilding to class B17/6 took place. Initially a Doncaster engine working on the GN mainline, by 1938 the locomotive was allocated to Norwich and from Aug 1950 until withdrawn in Jan 1959 was March 31B. The locomotive was cut up at Doncaster Works in May 1959.

A Brass “ITALIAN STATE RAILWAY” Rectangular Number plate No. 471.135. As carried by a Class 470, 0-10-0 freight engine, which were extensively rebuilt to a more orthodox layout. It can be seen that the number plate was altered by erasing the “0” and casting in a new digit “1”.The locomotive which bore this number had been totally destroyed by Allied bombing during the Second World War, in the yard of Foligno station, in Umbria. During this campaign, many locomotives and much rolling stock was destroyed, mainly in the central part of Italy, from Naples northwards.  “THE OWNER OF THIS PLATE WHO IS NOW IN HIS 80’S WAS A SOLDIER IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR. HE CAME ACROSS THIS LOCO, WHICH HAD BEEN BOMBED AT THE ABOVE LOCATION. REMOVING THE NUMBERPLATE, HE  PUT IT IN HIS KIT BAG AND BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE UK, MONTHS LATER.” What an incredible story .Fascinating.

The loco was named “LOCH LAGGAN” in May 1933 on allocation to the West Highland Line. 61791 and many others remained there dominating goods and passenger duties until replaced by Black Fives. B.R. shed was 63D Fort William until withdrawn from traffic in March 1960. 61791 was subsequently scrapped at Connell’s of Calder in May 1960.

A Brass Locomotive Nameplate “ROBERT BURNS” Ex 70006. Britannia Class 7 4-6-2 B.R. Standard Pacific. This locomotive was built by B.R. at Crewe Loco Works in April 1951. This 2 Cylinder pacific was to the design of Robert Riddles and sought to incorporate the best of steam design into a high speed standard pacific. The locomotives were quick and performed well if handled properly. 70006 was part of a batch (70000 to 70014) sent to the Eastern Region to help speed up the Express services on the former GE routes. Ultimately, the class could be seen all across the B.R. network on fast freight and passenger duties. B.R. sheds were Stratford 30A until May 1951, Norwich 32A until December 1961, March 31B until December 1963 and finally Carlisle Kingmoor 12A until withdrawn from there in May 1967. The locomotive was eventually cut up at McWilliams, Shettleston in November 1967. This plate was purchased straight from the B.R. Stoke sale for a price of £40 in the late 60s, and has remained in private hand ever since, never being offered publicly before until this auction. In totally ex loco condition front & back. A superb example from this class and of course a famous Scottish name.

UNDER THE LUGGAGE RACK
Great Paintings of Britain
One of the great railway poster books

at only £19.50 plus p&p ... a superb idea for a gift

 

A tour around Britain during the middle years of the 20th century using beautiful landscape paintings by leading poster artists commissioned by the railway companies.

 

Reliving the days of steam when railways resembled travelling art galleries!

 

Using many of the prints from his personal collection, the author takes us on a nostalgic tour of Britain in the mid-20th century, before modern town planning and the motor car had exerted their baneful influence on the landscape. From the mid 1930s to the late 1960s, trains virtually became travelling art galleries and it is this period which forms the centre piece of this book.

 

2nd EDITION ONLY £19.50 (plus £3.00 UK postage & package)
