Hi, my names John, and I live in the UK.
I wonder if someone could help me out with this querie ?
I've purchased of Ebay a small (155mm x 55mm) brass plate made by Beyer Peacock.
The seller tells me it was removed from a GMAM Garratt, and I would like to know
just where on the loco it would have been fitted.
It's so highly polished and reflective I cant post a photo, so I'll describe the
wording as below;
BEYER PEACOCK & CO LTD
SOUTH AFRICAN PATENT NO. 2866 / 47
BRITISH PATENT NOS. 647476 / 647480 / 647519
Any help / advise greatly appreciated !
John

Hi John,
I think they were bolted to the frame of the boiler unit.

Re: Beyer Peacock brass plate
Hi Aidan, you're not perhaps confusing this with the large , oval main builders plate, which was indeed bolted to the main boiler frame ?
My apologies though if this small, oblong plate was also bolted in that area !
Would anyone have a photo of said plate in position ?
Thanks
John
