DERAILED Posted February 27, 2021 Posted February 27, 2021 This is the big one (22 inches x 30 inches) and ultra rare. The last example seen at auction was at Sheffield Railwayana Auctions in 1990 and it went for £1,150. This one has been in the owners possession for more than twenty years. It is cracked from top to bottom - see mark on image - and it is held together by a strip of iron across the top - on the reverse. Further pics are available. This steel is probably part of what it was originally attached to rather than a later addition. The new owner could get it repaired by somebody specialising in cast iron welding but in reality it would not be needed as it is quite stable and if it was me I would just strip and repaint it. €800 delivered to Dublin or can be collected from Enniscorthy for €750. Alternatively you can wait until I get it repaired and shipped to a UK saleroom. Quote
