Early Round TA engine ID plate

Post by Doug Pelton » Sun Aug 27, 2017 2:39 pm

Greetings to all,

 

I am requesting information on the early TA engine ID Plate.  I know it was round and the lettering on it was “etched” / raised.  Can the TA owner confirm this with a photo and car number to I can see when they changed to the octagon plate similar to the TC.

 

Also, if someone has a round plate that they could loan me as a sample to duplicate I would appreciate it.  It will be returned.

 

Thanks in advance,

I have perhaps a dozen photos of TA MPJG Engine # plates ranging from 577 to 3453.

The highest # round one is 1841

The lowest # octagon one is 2257.

Both of these plates I think are original, both the main plate and the centre MPJG.

I have another octagon one at 2116, but the photo is so poor that you cannot tell if it is an original plate or a reproduction.

See attached.

I do not know the Car #s to which these engines were originally fitted 

I agree that the original plate has an etched background leaving the letters and narrow outside border raised. The # was then metal stamped.

I do not have any actual plates, just photos.

What is your MPJG Engine #?

Appreciate receiving back any engine plate photos that you can share.

Also have lots of TA thru TC Car # plate and Engine # plate photos if you need to research something there.

Best regards
