Y6 Builders Plates

[NW Mailing List]

Jeff -  Thanks for posting the links to the railroadiana site for the photos.  I should have done that myself.  Now everyone can see our concerns with these plates.  I have had collectors get angry with me when I tell them their plate is a reproduction.  They come to me and ask for my opinion and then they do not like it when I tell them.

  To whomever is looking for "drawings" of the builders plates;


  I'm sure others can chime in on this but I don't think there are any drawing per se of the builders plates.


  A couple or three decades back someone made castings of a builders plate or more and these subsequently hit the collectors market and have been sold as both reproductions and as real. The attached links should shed some light on N&W specific plates, but as with anything; Caveat Emptor! 


  Just the other week on the Bay, a set of J Class plates and a Y6 plate sold for very high prices. Over $300 for each auction.


  You will be hard pressed to find anyone at this point willing to cast anything specific to one engine.
