A worksplate, LONDON NORTH EASTERN RAILWAY, 1703, DONCASTER 1928, from a LNER A3 Class 4-6-2 No 2747 built in December 1924 and named CORONACH after the racehorse which won the 1926 Derby and St Leger. It was renumbered 93 in July 1946, becoming BR 60093, and fitted with a double chimney in December 1958. Allocated new to Doncaster in December 1928 and later Kings Cross and Haymarket, it moved in January 1941 to Carlisle Canal where it famously spent the next twenty years together with the same three other A3s working over the Waverley route to Edinburgh. Withdrawn from Canal in April 1962, it was cut up at Doncaster Works. Fully engraved brass, 13½"x7½", unpolished, the back stamped 2747 in two places. (Postage Band: C)
