This is a 7-7/8\" round bronze original builder\'s plate. A very good friend from the UK has pinned this one down as being from a South African Railways Class 3R 4-8-2 in the number series 1451 to 1475. This would correspond to North British Locomotive Co. Ltd records as construction numbers 19217 to 19241. The number that we can see is = 1923_. The last number has been removed as someone took out their aggressions on this plate!! If you want to see more pictures, please let me know and I can add more.Please contact me for any questions on this plate or any others. I have been collecting since 1963 and have been selling off extra plates since 1968. I stand behind any of our items 100%. Most of our better items are sold via our private sales lists. We currently have a list available and some of the roads that we have are the following: LIRR, C&O, M&O, MOPAC, VGN, WM, MIDLAND VALLEY, AT&SF, B&O, CPR, CN, NH. LV, CB&Q, N&W, PRR, PC, BAR, and a number of other roads.I will ship internationally, but you MUST contact me first for a shipping quote. Shipping out of the country today is very expensive, but this plate might be going back to Australia or the United Kingdom.Many thanks for the continued interest that I have gotten on my plate listings!!!

After collecting plates since 1963, I am fortunate to have some good friends from all over the world. I have received word that this plate may very well be construction number - 19235. That would then be from SAR Class 3R #1469. Hope that helps a little and sorry that the plate is in such rough shape. That is simply the way we got it back in 2004!
