    If it had been fitted to a Manor I might give you £5 for it. £500 if it was on an Ivatt 2-6-0 ;).

    Would that be the same Ivatt found wanting in comparison trials with the humble Dean Goods in the early 1950's?

    No I do not currently volunteer
    Have a look at: The One Stop Railwayana Shop - www.railwayana.net
    Condition is everything with a shed plate though, as there are lots of replicas out there.

    I paid £100 for 89B... And a bit more for the midland 6 ones... Average price is about 100 - 160 for the common plates.
