Tornado: a dream realised

The fulfilment of the dream to see a Peppercorn 'A1' take its rightful place on modern metals drew a great many onlookers to the Great Central Railway Steam Gala (Oct 11,12th). Here, the incredible, powerful lines of the 'Pacific' are seen at Woodthorpe and, later, leaving Loughborough with an assortment of vans, part of the outstanding collection resident at the GCR.
Congratulations to all at the AI Locomotive Society - she's quite a machine!
