How did that get there?! Jul 22, 2011 20:30:44 GMT

I've just found something unexpected above my wardrobe - this strange object, whatever it may be!

Seriously, yes it is brand new - a massive thank-you to those who arranged the logistics of getting it to me; I don't know whether any of them use this forum, but I am very grateful for their help and assistance, regardless!

If you're wondering, yes, there was a cost to acquiring this, but the money has gone to the Railway Children's Charity, so it was definitely worth it.

Apparently so - goodness only knows how it never came to be used! I had thought it might be a re-casting from the refurb days, but when I was speaking to an engineer during the Farewell Tour while we were at Uxbridge, he seemed to think that the only 'new' plates carried a Tickford logo (never seen one of these). He also commented that trying to remove a genuine Metro-Cammell plate was quite a task as a result of corrosion build-up beneath the plate, which didn't exactly fill me with confidence! I therefore had to pinch myself when this unused example turned up!

Matt - I've sent you a PM with the cost listed. I don't know if there any more left, but I can ask.
