One thing I have noticed with Accucraft locos is that the smokebox door goes very dull and scorched after a little while...
You only need look at Andy's Edrig and SLRMidge's Wrekin (?)

Depends what sort of way you treat the burner, the ones produced in the last year or so have all had a baffle plate fitted to the rear of the door to spread the heat.

I must also add that repainting your smokebox also affects it.

Ive noticed the matting of the door on recent engines. Its since they changed the design of the smokebox to make it cheaper. Unfortuanatly the door ended up being made from paper thin brass and the paint doesnt take too well to the heat.
