LOCOMOTION No. 1
& 1825 DATE PLATES

“The Holy Grail of Locomotive Plates”
Steve Davies, former Head of the National Railway Museum.

A once in a generation opportunity to acquire this historic set of four plates from the famous Stockton & Darlington Rly locomotive that eventually became
​LOCOMOTION No. 1.

These plates have been touring the Railway200 celebratory events during 2025 and are now being offered for sale by auction. The first set were added to the locomotive when first considered to be a ‘celebrity’ and displayed at the Travel Exposition in Paris in 1899, an event dominated by the newly-built Eiffel Tower.

Similar number and date plates were cast from the originals when the loco was first plinthed at Darlington in 1892. The plates remained on the locomotive until 1961 when they were removed during a cosmetic restoration and presented to the Darlington Works manager upon his retirement and are being offered by his descendants for a new owner to enjoy.

The plates come with a large amount of paperwork and metallurgical reports undertaken by the National Railway Museum in order to both date the plates and prove their authenticity and provenance.
