Nothing obvious in Tatlow part 4a . Have you the weight and build location normally both shown on the plate ?

[silverfox]

I will try and get a pic of it.might take a while as she isnt on a normal route, and i will have to call in when i next pass

305863 was from a batch (750) of 21T steel coal hoppers built to diagram 100 by Cravens - numbered 305452 - 306201.
