    I think you need to bear in mind relative values: £2,400 in 1964 would have bought you a decent house! I think my father was on about £10 per week.

    Difficult to tell from the photos, but here Down under there were locomotives of the same class that had Cast or Fabricated trailing trucks.

    Very true, but still cheaper than a certain A3 in 1963!

    From what I have read in "The LMS Pacifics, [JWP Rowledge], the pony trucks were originally cast, but were changed to fabricated [as the cast ones were prone to cracking]. Detailed photos of the last two locos seem to be quite rare?

    See Page 42 of "1964-The Last Summer of the Duchesses" for an excellent close-up of said item.

    I think a replica of either may be in order should Euromillions pay me their dues, cant decide between Green or Red though? Oh the decision!

    Absolutely cracking book for anyone with a love of these locos. Some beautifully reproduced photos many of which I certainly haven't seen before. I write purely as a satisfied customer.
