In short, your answer is no better than my question, and doesnt slamp dunk. a nameplate is probably the most stand out feature of a loco, after the chimney afterall. ![]() as they’d be at least from 1860… which is no indicator of what was 40 years earlier…just an indicator of what it looked like when preserved, and by 1860’s lots of locos had nameplates, which could have been added anytime.īut does beg the question, if drawing a picture of something years later, why miss out something that was evidently there, unless it wasnt ?. Not sure we can take them as gospel either. Oldest surviving nameplates? Locomotion I assume. "But it doesn't look like the drawings so it must be fake". That's something which the people that want to rewrite history do. Had them on the photographs when it was first preserved.ĭon't take any drawings as being gospel.
