Class Q6, then 3415 on 23rd October 1946; BR 63415 on 14th
May 1948. A longtime West Hartlepool engine, it was withdrawn from there on 15th

brass renumbering strip. Face-restored only.
94* An
Edinburgh & Glasgow Railway casebound watch by Thornton of Paris. The front
of the brass case is clearly engraved “Edinburgh & Glasgow Railway Co.
No.31” in early serif capitals. The brass bound polished wood case is 2¼”x1”x4”
tall. In fine, original condition. No key. The Edinburgh & Glasgow Railway
opened in 1842 (from which date this watch probably dates), and amalgamated
with the NBR in 1865. These stagecoach style watches are very rare. A really
historic item.
95* A
Waterford & Central Ireland Railway cast-iron sign “W & C.I. Railway.
Notice. Any Person Found Trespassing On This Line of Railway Or Injuring The
Fences Will Be Prosecuted. By Order”. Repainted, 13”x18½”, a slight crack
across the bottom. Staggeringly rare! Note The W & C.I. Ry was
renamed from the Waterford & Kilkenny Railway in 1868 and operated the line
from Waterford to Kilkenny. It amalgamated with the G S & W R in 1901.
96 A LMS 3-aspect HANDLAMP, the body embossed
“LMS” and bearing an oval brass plate “LMS. B. 31522”. The reducing-cone bears

Park, then to Doncaster Works on 23rd January 1982 where it was cut
up by August 1982. One of its cabs is preserved in Oxfordshire. The nameplate
has plenty of signs of its original chrome and is in ex-loco condition. A rare
opportunity indeed as only the English Regiment names, of which there were 6,
were cast in brass. The name commemorates the famous regiment first raised in
1688.(See Lot 101)
101* A
Deltic brass NAMEPLATE CREST from the BR Type 5 3300 H.P. CoCo diesel electric

centrally pivoted pointer to “On/Wrong/Off” engraved into a silvered dial. The
face displays a trafolite plate “Up Distant No. 18”. The case top is stamped
“GCR”. 6¼” tall. In original condition; a crack to the right edge of the case
does not really detract. Not seen before.

plate, 1931 (mint); a dessert plate, 1939 (virtually mint, no chips); a
luncheon plate, 1937 (mint); a dessert bowl, 1937 (mint); together with a Great

Great Central Railway 2½-pint silver-plated coffee pot, by Walker & Hall.
One side clearly displays the large Forward arms crest and is lettered “Great
Central Ry. 1234”. 7” tall. In very fine original condition. Note Saloon
1234 was built to the designs of Thomas Parker, the Locomotive, Carriage and
Wagon Superintendent of the MS & LR in 1893 at a cost of £576. It was used
as an officer’s inspection saloon. It was very small, with a body length of
only 32’6”, carried on two bogies. There was a balcony at each end, and between
were two saloons less than 10’ long each, plus a kitchen and a lavatory. It
carried gas tanks for lighting and cooking. It was finished in the customary MS
& L teak livery, with two of the decorative MS & L coats of arms on
each side. Very little is known about the saloon in use. It does not appear in
the 1936 LNER Service Vehicle diagram book so presumably it had been removed
from service by then (See Lot 111). We are indebted to Andrew Dow for the above
information.

condition as Lot 110. 5½” tall.

and 8 integral fixing holes. The usual edge chipping but a very fine deep

NAMEPLATE “DOT” with its matching WORKSPLATE “WG Bagnall Ltd Engineers No. 2214
Stafford, England” and BOILER-PLATE “WG Bagnall Ltd…..Makers No. 2214”. This
fine set was carried by a 3’0” gauge 0-4-0ST with outside cylinders that
emerged from Works in May 1923 going new to Charles Abell Ltd., Hartshill
Granite Quarry, Nuneaton, Warwickshire. Here it joined “KITTY” a similar
Bagnall loco No 2085 which had been acquired second hand around 1919. The steam
locos were used in the upper part of the quarry and also in the quarry yard,
with horse traction elsewhere. In 1951 the company amalgamated with Mancetter
Granite Quarries Ltd., to form Man-Abell Quarries Ltd. In April 1956 a Ruston
Hornsby diesel locomotive was transferred from Mancetter Quarries to Hartshill
and KITTY & DOT saw little use after this. DOT was finally scrapped on site
in March 1958. The nameplate is rectangular cast brass, 12”x4¼”, the worksplate
oval cast brass 6¼”x4” (both face-polished and repainted only); the
boiler-plate oval cast brass 4½”x2¾” in ex-loco condition.
