A SMOKEBOX NUMBERPLATE “61889”. As carried by the ex LNER K3/3 class 2-6-0, LNER 1398, built at Doncaster as Works No. 1730. It emerged to traffic on 13th December 1929; became LNER 1889 from 14th July 1946; BR 61889 from 6th October 1948. Designed by Gresley and first introduced in 1924, these 3 cylinder locomotives were used for both passenger and freight services. Latterly a March, Lincoln, Colwick and Immingham engine it was withdrawn from Immingham on 4th November 1962 to be cut up by Cashmores of Great Bridge by February 1963. I think the plate has been repainted but am not sure. K3 smokebox numberplates are scarce.
