And, coincidentally, guess who was standing on the bridge above?

For the sake of visual composition I've just cropped Matt out of the picture - frame right.

What amazed me was how smooth it was at speed. And when it pulled away from the station it was barely trying - pulling near on 800 tonnes by ny guestimate!

Tornado passed my signalbox a couple of weeks ago when it was in the area.

There are some photos of it on this site, which has loads of pics of railway interest.

I got to see Tornado and travel behind it on the West Somerset Railway a couple of weeks back.

Lovely engine even if it is the wrong region
