didcot Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 (edited) I know it's not rolling stock, but this seemed the most appropriate place. So I'm cleaning up a couple of GWR bench ends. The earlier fancy scroll type. I doing so found Landore cast into the lower portion. See pic. I got them from the Newport area, so not far from Swansea/Landore. However I've never seen a name cast into the lower portion before. Could anyone shed some light on it please? Thanks Matt Edited May 16, 2020 by didcot Type Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penrhos1920 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Is that cast in or punched in with letter punches? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
didcot Posted May 16, 2020 Author Share Posted May 16, 2020 (edited) Cast, but is proud of the main casting, on a raised rectangle Edited May 16, 2020 by didcot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Compound2632 Posted May 17, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 17, 2020 It wouldn't be that big a deal to have an insert in the pattern with the station name on it for each batch of castings. After all, wagon numberplates were cast with a different number on every pair of plates! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
