The Doncaster rovers loco footplates?

[normal rules]

I know jr has one of these, but does anyone know who has the other one?

I heard that jr once turned down £36k for his.

I would think that JR would know. It might be worth contacting him via the Exiles website.

The other one is in Doncaster museum on Chequer road, or at least it used to be.

£36k for a footplate?

Imagine how much a nameplate must be worth!

[Bentley Bullet]

Sorry, I was referring to the nameplate being at the museum, not the footplate.

You can get copies of the nameplate from north Yorkshire railway at Grosmont

Years ago one of the nameplates was hung on the wall in the entrance to Kingfisher School.

Yes, I bought a small rovers one about 3 yrs ago, it had to be made up and sent out to me as they only keep a few and the rovers one had been bought a few days before apparently! I think it was £30 + £2.50 p & p.  They may have gone up since but should be around that sort of price?

£32.99 including postage and vat

I've seen that massive one at NYMR in Grosmont too. The little ones are over thirty quid, so I dread to think what the big one is for sale at! Certainly made me proud when I walked into the shop though.

I thought the story went that the original ones had disappeared into the ether? Certainly the original at Belle Vue was said to have been sold in the R*chardson years and the one that was at BV (and I suppose KMS) in recent years was a copy.
