A WORKSPLATE "Great Central 1901 Gorton Works". As carried by the Class 9D 0-6-0, GCR 117, that emerged from Works in December 1901.

It became LNER 5117 Class J10 in January 1925, and was reclassified J10/5 in December 1927; J10/6 in January 1930. It became LNER 5191 in May 1946; BR 65191 in March 1949. Latterly a Trafford Park engine, it was withdrawn in January 1958 and cut up at Gorton immediately. Oval cast brass, 6 3/4"x4 1/4", polished and repainted. A rare pattern plate.
