Railway Wagon Identification Plate

This is an antique railway wagon plate, likely originating from the Midlands Railway. The plate features raised, cast numerals “129” and the letters “MR” indicating the railway company. These plates were affixed to railway wagons to identify them, and are highly sought after by railwayana collectors. The rectangular form and casting style are typical of plates produced during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Condition and Collectability

The plate exhibits signs of age and use, with surface corrosion and wear consistent with its history. The paint is faded and chipped, adding to its authentic, weathered appearance. Despite this, the numerals and letters remain clearly legible. This plate would be a desirable addition to a collection of railwayana, offering a tangible link to the history of the Midlands Railway and the operation of Britain’s railway network.
