I had been looking forward to going to GW Railwayana’s
auction at Pershore yesterday but a heavy cold quite literally put the dampers
on things. Luckily, GWRA is the only railwayana auction house which has live
bidding on the internet [via the-saleroom.com], or if you prefer it you can
just watch as proceedings unfold.
I settled down at home for a more comfortable few hours than
I would have had reaching for the tissues on a two-hour car journey. The big
attraction was the sale of a nameplate from the Flying Scotsman. Would it beat
the record for any nameplate at a railwayana sale, standing at £60,000 for A4
Class No. 60030 Golden Fleece?
The hammer finally fell at £64,500. Maybe you even heard it
here first.
