Lot 160 A Steam Locomotive Nameplate "THE MASTER GENERAL" as carried by Andrew Barclay 0-4-0ST works No. 1188, ex-works on 24 February, 1911 for the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich. It was of one of the builder's standard designs with 14in by 22in outside cylinders, 3ft 5in driving wheels and carried this nameplate from new. With the running down of the Woolwich Arsenal railway after WW1 it was one of four surplus standard gauge locos auctioned at the Arsenal on 21 March, 1922. It was purchased by Frank Edmunds, a dealer with an office address in Barlaston near Stoke on Trent, but not known where his yard was. Edmunds still had it in 1923 as he advertised it for sale in August 1923 and sold it soon after with another ex-Arsenal locomotive to the Mersey Docks & Harbour Board who numbered it No. 37 in their fleet. The MDHB resold it in April 1928 to The Southern Railway Civil Engineers Dept for maintenance work at Southampton Docks. It was almost certainly lent by the SR to McAlpine and/or Mowlem for their big dock construction jobs at Southampton and had large dumb buffers fitted at Southampton. The loco was withdrawn in 1945 and noted dumped at Eastleigh Works awaiting scrapping in September 1948 and had been scrapped by January 1949. It is believed to have carried its nameplates until the end as pictures exist with plates on it at Southampton Docks.
