 Visitor Service Assistant Linda Adams with Shildon wagon plates |
A County Durham railway museum is making a national appeal for donations of wagon plates. Locomotion, the National Railway Museum in Shildon, is hoping to set up a definitive collection as part of its "Pride in Our Past" project.
The museum is seeking wagon plates from the earliest days of Shildon Wagon Works to 1985 when it closed.
Prizes will be on offer for the most unusual or the oldest wagon plate sent in before 17 April.
Locomotion will accept donations from 23 January.
The museum, which is opened in partnership with the existing National Railway Museum in York, is based at the first departure point for the Stockton and Darlington Railway in 1825.
