Just watched some lucky individual pick up a bargain on Ebay, a pair of original Birmabright mudguards complete but without hinges for £827.00!
Now I can justify the price I paid recently for a complete set of new alloy guards made to the original dimensions. Hand rolled on an English wheel not pressed.

Peter, regards Tornado's breakdown, when was this and why? It cannot have been substituted with "an engine of the same class" because Tornado was built to fill a gap in preserved locomotives. No original A1's survived so it was decided to build a replica- an amazing achievement. Re. Birmabright mudguards: surely the tooling used to produce those currently available could be used with this material?
