52A, I am really grateful you posted the attachment of the LNER Ace playing card as it is the first external confirmation I have ever seen of the LNER badge used as the image to the left of all my LNER forum posts.

As far as I can tell it shows the same configuration and symbols as your on card. 8)

Why ye bugger man, the Chester Heralds on this forum. :D
Describe this one. Actually the GCR & LNER were the only true heraldic devices the other constituent companies used devices loosely based on heraldry or combinations of other devices the NBR motif shown combines the coat of arms of Edinburgh and Berwick upon Tweed. The encircling belt is used a lot in Scotland by clansmen showing that they were linked to the Chieftan of the clan whos arms would be enclosed by the belt.
