1926 doncaster standard 12ton

Post by ryan16moore »

Hello just wondering if any of you can help me, I've came across what I think is a train plaque which says

LNER
Standard 12ton
1926
Doncaster
151068

It would be great if anyone can give me more information about it.

Many thanks

Hallo Ryan,

It's a builders plate from a wagon. Without checking it's hard to say what wagon as 12 tons was a very common capacity at that time. It might be a van or an open. I expect someone with access to that information will let you know exactly what it was.

How did you come by it?

Do you have any idea of worth to a collector? As I'm going to be looking at selling it.

It was on a 12 ton covered goods van to LNER wagon diagram 14. On the 1927 programme but built in 1928. One of a batch of 250 vehicles.
