^ I think so - https://www.gracesguide.co.uk/images/4/4c/Im20110702SH-Mar-%3Dc512a.jpg , http://www.steam-up.co.uk/marshall/marshall_bd5609.htm (says 1914) Registration BD 5609 ✓ Taxed Tax due: 01 August 2018 MOT Exempt Vehicle make: MARSHALL Date of first registration: January 1922 Year of manufacture: 1922 Cylinder capacity (cc): 748 cc Fuel type: STEAM Export marker: No Vehicle status: Tax not due Vehicle colour: MAROON BD xxxx plate series was Northampton, Dec 1903 to September(?) 1923 so 5609 seems more likely to be the Grace's date of 1914 than DVLA of 1922. |

Although they are similar traction engine types they are not the same engine I believe. Boiler side access plate missing from the movie engine's boiler. The flywheels are different; flat spokes and dished spokes. Also the cylinder valve gear is different with a higher flattened dome seen, so not BD 5609. ![[Image: marshall.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/558/marshall.jpg) -- Last edit: 2018-06-30 13:08:55 |

Marshall General Purpose 6-nhp Engine, 15391 "Eynsham Hall" Built in 1887, BW 5249 looks to be the exact engine here... http://www.steamscenes.org.uk/engines/marshall/general-purpose-engine/15391/12/ -- Last edit: 2018-06-30 13:42:59 |

As it was built 16 years before first UK number plates, I thought I'd check the plate BW 5249 ✗ Untaxed Tax due: 01 June 2009 MOT Exempt Vehicle make: MARSHALL Date of first registration: January 1948 Year of manufacture: 1948 Cylinder capacity (cc): 0 cc CO₂Emissions: Not available Fuel type: STEAM Export marker: No Vehicle status: Not taxed Vehicle colour: MAROON So it apparently had its first 61 years without a registration. However book says (Oxford) BW 1234 series was only Dec 1903 to April (or thereabouts) 1926. |

It is more probable that the taxation class of the engine was changed in 1948 to take advantage of changes in the legislation at that time. More to the point, if it was built in 1887 how did it escape registration on 1/01/1904 and not receive a single or double digit index no? Unless it got pinched for somebody’s Royce or something. |
