Raising Funds for A1 Steam Locomotive Trust
What Are Cinderella Stamps?
Remember Cinderella? She was the fairy-tale character who looked like a princess but was really a commoner in disguise. Cinderella stamps follow the same idea. They look like genuine postage stamps, but are really just decorative labels. A real postage stamp can only be issued by a genuine Post Office. However, anyone is welcome to design and print Cinderella stamps. They can’t be used for postage. They are very collectable and some people specialise just in Cinderella stamps. A Cinderella can bring a striking touch to a first day or commemorative cover.
We have produced these official Tornado carriage labels to raise funds for A1 Steam Locomotive Trust. To any stamp collector these labels are known as Cinderellas.

What is Tornado?
Tornado is a new build Peppercorn class A1 Pacific. This renowned steam locomotive is one of the greats, but unfortunately back in 1966 none escaped the scrapman's torch.
These carriage labels feature on our commemorative Tornado Covers, which mark a great piece of railway history - the first new steam train in 50 years. There is also an A1 Pacifics stamp sheet, which was inspired by Tornado. But remember, demand is high for our A1 Pacifics Stamp Sheet, so if you are interested you may need to get in quick!
