Shedplate Rarity Guide

Selling

Shedplates were used in various forms in the early days of locos to identify their home shed but the modern era of Shedplates that are collected today came about with the Nationalisation of the Railways. All locos were given a cast iron plate on the Smokebox door with a letter and number(s) to readily identify their home shed.

Shedplates were often crudely cast and so replicas are easy to produce. As with all railwayana try to get provenance when buying or take advice. The back of a plate can tell you more than the front so try to buy plates that have not been repainted on the back.

We have graded shedplates based on how easy they are to obtain.
