95 Belfast and County Down Railway cast metal Loco. Tankside Numberplate “BCDR 7” as carried by a 2-4-2 Tank Loco built by Beyer Peacock in 1896 (Works No. 3853). a 5’-3” gauge Type 8 Class 5 Loco, one of only six in the class. It became Ulster Transport Authority No. 7 in 1948 and was withdrawn in Nov. 1949 and sold for scrap. The locos were employed on Belfast - Holywood and Belfast - Dundonald Suburban Services. Nos. 5,7 & 27 survived to the formation of the U.T.A. but the other class members nos. 8,28 & 29 (all built in 1897) were withdrawn in 1925, 1937 & 1923 respectively. Originally the locos had oval brass numberplates but were changed to the style we have here about 1920. This plate despite having a vertical central crack is in lovely ex-loco condition and a great rarity as many BCDR plates were replaced with U.T.A. cast aluminium examples. 383x252mm. (15x10in).
