Wonderful memories of boyhood long gone seeing steam working twin tracks again. New build houses crowd up to the track reminding us of what was almost lost forever.
Went to the GCR autumn gala on Friday. Tornado was on static display in the loco shed. When you stand next to her at track level, she's quite awe-inspiring. Those enormous drivers tower over your head and everything about her says power. Looking forward to seeing her out on the main line again.
There's been talk (well, speculation) about maybe one day double-tracking from Rothley to Leicester North; I think that would be a pity as as it is it's one of the most scenic parts of the line. That opening shot of 60163 is very impressive
Love that Tornado is back in bright Apple Green, hopefully Scotsman returns to a bright apple green as well, love BR green, but so many coco's have BR colours, I do want some variety
Very good video. I might see it, but not ride behind it. Never ridden behind it on either the mainline or preserved lines. My fault. The last time I saw it was at Spalding Station on 2 July 2021 in Dark Green livery.
This is a day I have been waiting for.. to here that fantastic Chime once again!!

Was a great day yesterday, great to see 60163 again! Keep up the amazing work!

Great to see Tornado running again.
I was there yesterday definitely seen myself in the couple of shots while I was In tornado but very brilliant video!
Was hoping someone would cover this ‘properly’
Lovely stuff mate! That chime whistle is something else isn’t it
Super video :)
Thank you
Tornado seems to be running well. When will she be on the mainlines again?
Scheduled for a railtour on the 21st of September.
