then. It was used at Hutchinsons Trustees, Widnes. It is unknown when
the renaming to NINA took place. Note: We sold the other side in the
November 2006 auction. 99* Shedplate 84D Leamington until September 1963 and
then Penzance until May 1973. An extremely rare Shedplate, never before

Ex Loco. A rare plate with only 3 locos built at Darlington in this

on the 22nd. One side edge of the plate is damaged from a wartime bomb
explosion. 110* BR(S) Station Running In Board WADEBRIDGE. A lovely
sign that was once fitted into a frame on the station (photograph accompanies).
It is in two halves, the first is 54" x 10" and the second
is 61" x 10" so very manageable. Lovely dark green with deep
shine and minimal damage. A very rare sign, very little turns up from
this Cornish station and a totem would entail a re-mortgage. 111* Lynton & Barnstaple Railway Locomotive/Tail
Lamp manufactured by Polkey. Another lamp from this railway that has
some, but not total provenance. Reputedly, it belonged to the widow
of a former employee who purchased it a a sale either at Barnstaple
or Pilton when the L&B closed in 1935. Looking at the accompanying
photograph taken on the final day, the Bunker lamp looks very similar
although not identical. It is known that a number of different lamps
were used by the L&B and the locos indeed carried a variety of different
types as spares. The lamp is bereft of paint and has the number 30 on
both sides. The brass maker’s plate is also on one side and the
original reservoir and burner is in situ. 112 GWR large, old Coal Scuttle re-painted “GWR

GWR 0-6-0PT built Swindon June 1935 and allocated new to Old Oak Common.
Remaining there for the majority of its working life, it wandered to
St Philips Marsh in the early 1960's, then Westbury and withdrawal came
from Yeovil in June 1965. 116* Lynton & Barnstaple Railway Steel & Brass
Tyers Signalling Tablet WOODA BAY - LYNTON number 2. Once the property
of the chief accountant at Eastleigh, it was sent, along with others,

and painted out in LNER blue livery. Built in 1940 by a 17 year old
apprentice taking approximately 3 years to build during WWII austerity.
Used in St. Mary's Park Prestwich and at Stand Grammar School Whitefield.
A delightful locomotive that has languished for many years in a garage
protected with tarpaper. No boiler certificate of course but looks to
be in fine order and may well pass a test without any work. 136* Live Steam 2½" Gauge 2-2-0 Locomotive
scratch built in the mid 19th century and kept in the same family since
then. A remarkable little loco constructed from brass and fired by methylated
spirits. The two driving wheels are coupled directly to the pivot cylinders,
these being fed via a steam pipe from the back of the boiler that runs
centrally down through the footplate. Water is added to the boiler through
the removable safety valve and the front of the boiler has a stop-cock
mechanism for emptying. An operational whistle is affixed to the rear
of the boiler. Last operated many years ago so functionality currently
unknown but looks very sound. Wonderful patina developed over 150 years.

re-brazing. 137* Shedplate 24L, Carnforth until September 1963.
