Was attached on donation to item 1847, with a pin in top left hand corner. Separated for storage. See image file for arrangement on donation.



Note: Later review by D. Macartney in early 80's found that the SEC had miscalculated the distance travelled by 100,000 miles. The million miles occurred during service with the BTPS - written up somewhere in Fares Please!
