    I was lucky enough to be on that train, you managed to get me a couple of times, once when I was in the second open coach as we crossed the road into Harbour Stn and then when 143 was heading to the water tower for a drink. I was wearing a white top and had my Older Brother (now carriage works boss) with me as my guest (I was the sponsor not him) a most enjoyable day throughout.

    I have to ask. Tornado is a fairly new locomotive that's been built to look like Scott (intentionally or not) Where does his alleged fame come from? Ps I don't mean to sound cynical. Tornado is a great engine.

    • @MHStudioProductions
      @MHStudioProductions 3 роки тому

      Tornados main claim to fame is that it was the first new build steam locomotive in the UK since the end of BR Steam. It’s also an A1 class locomotive - none of which survived into preservation
