Totem, BR(M) RAINHILL,
F/F. Ex LNWR station of absolute fame being the very cradle
of Railways. In 1829 Rainhill, a tiny hamlet between Liverpool
and Manchester was the scene of trials on
the Liverpool and Manchester
Railway. The steam locomotive was at that time slow and extremely
basic, operating at no more than walking pace. The Directors
decided to offer a prize for a new locomotive capable of hauling
a considerable load at a speed of at least 10 miles per hour
over a distance of 70 miles. The trials were held in the October,
and Stephenson's Rocket amazed the world by reaching speeds
in excess of 30 miles per hour and fulfilling all the required
conditions. This established the steam locomotive as the prime
mover for the railways which rapidly spread all over the world,
and the basic features of Rocket's design were incorporated
into every steam locomotive ever built. This totem is in superb
condition with deep colour and shine.

Smokebox Numberplate
70008. Unlike others purporting to be 'replacement smokebox
numberplates', this is the genuine article, a real replacement
fitted to Britannia Class 4-6-2 BLACK PRINCE. When the loco
moved to Carlisle in the latter part of the 60's for use on
Carlisle - Glasgow
trains, along with other Britannias, the smokebox plates were
snapped up by enthusiasts. Replacement numberplates were fitted
to some and this is the best example seen. Not a reproduced
original, but a flat steel plate, correctly drilled and merely
painted in BR style. The accompanying b/w photograph shows the
very plate on an open smokebox door on the loco in 1967 at Carlisle
Kingmoor after withdrawal. Wonderful ex loco, who knows for
how long it was carried but the evidence is there for all to
see that it worked the grime and filth of the dying days of
steam. A truly fabulous, indeed historic artefact of the finest
hours of steam on BR.

hinged box with instructions pasted on the underside lid. The
top of the box is clearly inscribed ‘FIRST ENGINEERS OFFICE
SS AMSTERDAM PARKESTON QUAY’. Although not marked with

Harwich and the Hook of Holland. The first ship was built for
the GER in 1894 and was scrapped in 1928. The second was built
in the late 1930s and quickly requisitioned for war service
at the beginning of WWII. She was then converted to a hospital
ship, HMHS Amsterdam only to be sunk off Juno Beach after hitting
a mine, on 7th August 1944 whilst evacuating wounded troops.
In all, 55 wounded, 10 medics and 30 crew were lost. Some German
POWs were also lost. The third ship was built for British Railways
in 1950 and was scrapped in 1969.

place many, many years ago at the Royal Corp of Transport's

Carriage Print "Entrance
To Euston Station, London" by Claude Buckle R.I. from the

triumphal arch, with its four doric columns supporting the portico,
which rose to a height of 72 ft. It was designed by Philip Hardwick
and built at a cost of £35,000. Ten years later, Hardwick's
son was commissioned to design the Great Hall of the station,
and this was erected in 1849. With its enormous dimensions,
it was the largest station waiting room in Britain. During the
period 1960-63 the doric arch, the Great Hall and much of the
old station infrastructure were savagely levelled for the rebuilding
and modernisation of Euston Station, ahead of the electrification
of the West Coast Main Line. Mint and in an original style frame
and glazed.
