Great Central Railwayana Auction Sale 225, Auction Lot 237
Lot 237 A worksplate TANGSHAN, CHINA, October 1974, from a Class SY 2-8-2 in the number range 0892-0905. This is one of the rarer plates from the period when the railways and workshops came under the Ministry of Communications (rather than a separate Ministry of Railways). It is also very unusual for being made of cast iron - most were aluminium, 15¾"x7"; the plate has been broken and the current owner has made a repair by screwing a steel plate to the back, but it is otherwise in ex-loco condition. £150-300
 This lot sold for £150 to commission or postal bidder number 7078.

Please note: the invoice will be posted to the winning commission or postal bidder, along with collection/delivery options, on the Tuesday following the sale. The winning bidder is asked to please await delivery of the invoice before contacting Great Central Railwayana.
