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 S.R. Brass Oval Numberplate. “SOUTHERN RAILWAYS 2048”. This
locomotive , No 48 of R. J. Billinton’s class B4 of 4–4—0 passenger engines
was built by Sharp Stewart and Co, of Glasgow in 1901, for the London,
Brighton & South Coast Railway and was named “Australia”. After the 1923
Grouping it became the Southern Railway No B48 and later was renumbered 2048.
It was withdrawn from service in 1936 and was later broken up at Eastleigh
Works. The Vendor who is now in his 80’s, was paying a visit to the Eastleigh
Works Complex in 1938,and while walking passed a pile of scrap plates, he was
offered the chance to choose one by the guide. When I asked him why he got
this one, he simply replied, “Cos, it was on the top of the pile”. This is
the same vendor who owns Lot No 174. A very rare survivor, never been offered in an auction before.

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

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.

2-6-0 Tender Locomotive, B.R. number 61791, was built for the L.N.E.R. by
Kitson & Co in Leeds in August 1921 (works number 5351). It carried the

November 1948. 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.
