Hi everyone,
I'm trying to find out some information on a nameplate a friend has, Team Valley, which is straight and black-backed.
I was wondering if anyone knows what it's off and the class of engine?
Thanks in advance!

There was a Hawthorn Leslie 0-6-0 steam loco named "TEAM VALLEY ESTATE", in a serif font on a black-backed nameplate, that was delivered new in 1938 to work the sidings of the Team Valley Trading Estate in Gateshead. Not aware of any other locos to have carried the name "Team Valley".

Any chance of a photo?
If new looking, where any of the Postal EMU's named?
As there was a depot just by the Team Valley estate.
Some of the class 325s are named, but the Royal Mail terminal is named Low Fell, rather than Team Valley, and no such name has graced the class. The closest would be the "Royal Mail Tyneside" name bestowed upon 47756.
