Shed plates

[Andrea dearden]

Hi my mum just gave me these shed plates and a couple more signs could anyone shed some light on them please and also if there worth anything. Any help would be great thanks Andrea.

The large two white signs are bridge number plates, the rest are shed plates.

The value will depend on whether they are originals or replicas. There are not only a great number of replicas about (often used as house numbers) but a lot of forgeries as well. So you need someone who can give you expert advice by actually looking at them.

A lot of Scottish ones there.

You could try this list

ps some sheds did change codes with various reorganisations. And, of course, vast numbers just closed.

Thank you for all your replys it's helping understand abit more, all I can remember is my dad telling me stories about when he was younger and had a job in the signal boxes so my guess he got these way back then and he was abit of a hoarder and didn't get rid of much. If they are genuine have I got something here? Thank you all again.

The shed plates seem to be worth around £50 - £100 each, so you should be looking at £500-£1,000 for those. More details here: http://www.railwayana.net/rarity/shedcodes/shedcodeguide.htm

And this gives you an idea on rarity - the rarer the more they're worth: http://www.railwayana.net/rarity/shedcodes/list6068.htm

Gosh. £50 - 100. Not bad. I had, I think it was, a 65B plate given to me as we did St Rollox works one day. And a Holbeck plate off a Clss 45 from Derby Works ..... I dunno who they ended up with as I moved around. Could do with that dosh now.
