    NAMEPLATES from locomotives built either side of the Grouping divide will take centre stage at Great Northern’s auction on October 5. They are Revenge from London & North Western Railway Alfred the Great class No. 1959; Wolseley Hall from GWR No. 5964; Leinster from LMS No. 45741; and Neil Gow from LNER A3 No. 60082.

    No. 1959 was built at Crewe in March 1902 as a nameplates and the same number. It was withdrawn in January 1930, by which time it had been renumbered 5143 by the LMS, and six years later the name, albeit not the original plate, was given to Jubilee No. 45714.
