Rare Brass Steam Train Number Plate 4002 With Provenance

Offered here is an original brass steam train number plate from engine No. 4002, a remarkable piece of railway history. Cast in solid brass with raised numerals, this oval plate once adorned the front of the steam train and served as its official running number.

What makes this piece exceptional is the provenance:

·       Included are six photographs of steam train 4002 in service, clearly showing this very plate in position on the engine.

·       Also included is a reference book in which steam train 4002 is featured, with the plate visible in published image.

This combination of the plate itself, photographs, and published documentation provides rock-solid authenticity - a rarity in the collectors market where many plates have lost their history.
