The First Mainline Steam Loco Built In Britain For Nearly 50 Years Pulled Into London Yesterday,

built by a team of volunteers over nearly 20 years, the A1 60163 Tornado is a Peppercorn class A1 locomotive, the apple-green Tornado – funded by £3million of donations from enthusiasts – pulled the Talisman train into Platform 1 at King’s Cross after a six-hour, 250-mile journey from Doncaster, what can I say? I just love steam trains.
