Tornado

[southerly95]

I'm sure I have seen a link in here taking me to a Youtube video of Tornado going through a station at high speed at night but cannot find it. I think the legend was Tornado bursting though ............

Can anyone help?

Many thanks, it's the second link down that I was looking for, the sheer spectacle of that engine at speed is fantastic.

Tornado is now tucked up in Bescot TMD, the loco arrived there this evening.

Is it just me or does anybody else 'well up' at these fantastic sights and sounds! ( saw it in Colchester last year)

Maybe a tingle in the spine. What I find sad is that some of the fine people, who were associated with these machines (I know Tornado is new but it represents a bygone age) are dying out. As an example of what I mean, I recently heard that a former speed hillclimb competitor and champion driver, Roy Lane, had died. In many ways he was "Mr Hillclimbing" and had been around as long as I can remember. Very very sad indeed.
