Great War truck Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Model X is model ten. The number is a unique number assigned to that wagon. Yes, RCD will probably be Royal Carriage Department? They are quite collectable, with some models going for more than others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07BE16 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Could X refer to the 10th month of 1906 in this case? There seems to be a pattern in all of the other plates shown? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great War truck Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Yes, try E Bay. Hard to put a value on it. Maybe £40 - £50 or more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
