I Just Love Steam Trains!

Ok, so I know I have mention it before, but I still would like to see it in the flesh as it were, a group of steam enthusiasts raised £3 million to build this Peppercorn Class A1 Pacific 60163 Tornado and Prince Charles will ride on the footplate as the 105-ton engine pulls the Royal Train – with Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall as a passenger – on its inaugural journey in February next year, the enthusiasts 18 years ago pledged to each put the price of a pint of beer week towards the project, in those days £1.25, if you want to know more go to A1 Steam Locomotive Trust what a huge task for these people to do in their spare time, great, British and proud of it!
