    If it is an auction anything to do with the railways,

    a) it will be cancelled

    b) it will be running late

    c) the auction will be standing room only

    d) the auction will be on a different platform than the one advertised

    e) there will be a price increase for the nameplate, to ensure the future ability of Network rail to fund "further investment"

    To be fair there could be that many bidders it’d be hard to keep track

    We already have one of the set at ground floor of the entrance to hospitality and have had it for many years since it came off the loco.

    Surely something for the Bantamspast museum?

    Not sure what has happened to the collection, since the area where things used to be displayed, is now the 'One in a Million' school, it seems to have gone. Perhaps John Dewhirst or Dave Pendleton could do an update?

    For those who are really fond of railways here is a picture of the old Manningham station!

    I thought steam driven cars were gone long ago.

    Would be brilliant if the club could buy it and exhibit it in the 1911 suite or some other suitable place. Sadly i think this is unlikely. Wish there was more time, I'm sure we could have somehow bought it between us.

    Amazing prices that loco nameplates go for.
    I bet the entire engine went for scrap for less than a grand.

    I too always thought the one at VP was a replica, not being funny but if it is worth about 20k it is very risky having it where it is.
    The provenance of anything like this is the critical thing.
