Anyone see the part where they showed Scott some old pieces and one of them was a CLYDE builders plate dated 1944 number 471...what loco would this have come from?

The stuff in the studio was from the Tasmanian Transport Museum, and that Clyde build plate would be probably off the Tasmanian Q class steam locos.

A large plate based on a oval shape, or a smaller one based on a circular shape?

If the former, then I suspect the plate is from a Tasmanian Q Class - one of the final batch of 20, the last of which entered service in 1945. That's my guess.

The builder's number sits between two famous Clyde products, 3804 (B/n 466 / 1944) and 3805 (B/n 474 / 1945), so it's not from a 38 (which would have been fitted with the smaller, circular-style builder's plates).
