    Mar 15, 2022 2 minutes

    A SOUTHERN Railway King Arthur class nameplate and a BR(S) headboard were a winning combination in Great Central’s February 5 auction, the eleventh in the series of monthly 200-lot live online sales the company launched exactly a year previously.

    The nameplate, which went for £9000,, and the headboard was from the Waterloo to West of England ‘Atlantic Coast Express’, the most multi-portioned express in the country (£6800). The example that went under auctioneer Mike Soden’s hammer was the style carried by Bulleid Pacifics from the summer of 1953 until September 1964.
