THE sale of seven nameplates once carried by LNER HSTs has raised £41,000 for the charity CALM. The plate from power car No. 43308 Highland Chieftain sold for £13,900 plus buyer's premium. The figure is thought to be a record for a modern traction plate. The sale on November 14 was handled by GW Railwayana Auctions, which also sold the following nameplates: Craigentinny, £6.500; Bounds Green, £4,100; Lincolnshire Echo, £1,700; Spirit of Sunderland, £4,100; MTU Fascination of Power, £4,600; and National Railway Museum 1975-2015, £6,100.
