A smokebox numberplate, 31870, from a (South Eastern & Chatham Railway) N Class 2-6-0 No A870 assembled at Ashford Works in July 1925 from parts made at Woolwich Arsenal, which had spare capacity after the First World War, with the exception of the boiler which was constructed by the North British Locomotive Co. It later became SR 1870 and BR 31870. Allocated to Eastleigh by January 1948, it spent most of its BR days at Bricklayers Arms with spells including Fratton and Redhill from where it was withdrawn in April 1964 and despatched for scrap to Birds at Morriston, Swansea. The front repainted, the BR(S) Eastleigh triangle cast on the back. (Postage Band: D)
