On Wednesday 11th May 2016, visitors from all over the UK went down to the National Rail Museum. Here is where GB Railfreight hosted a farewell event for the last of their Class 66 Locomotive trains, a train that has made a huge impact on the freight industry.
We at Tiny Fire Media were given the opportunity to film the event and cover the historical moment.
Had this loco on my train today! First time I’ve shunted with it.
Enjoyed it very much.Great video.
Great video.
Tornado is the last steam engine built in Britain
Correction:
Evening Star was the last steam loco built by BR (in 1960). Tornado was the first mainline steam loco built since Evening Star (in 2008, but the A1 Steam Locomotive Trust). Also other new builds (such as 2999 Lady of Legend) have been completed since that time and the group that built Tornado is now building another loco.
So I don't think Tornado is the last steam loco to be built in Britain
@@pansparrow cant wait to see the P2 on the metals.
@@michaelcampin1464 same here!
♥♥♥
so theres 2 evening star trains? the actual one and a modern one
Yeah, hopefully not a 3rd lol.
@@TransportCambs If the third was electric you'd have Evening Star in all three train types.
It was given the same name as the steam loco because it shares the same distinction of being the last member of the class to be built.
You wouldn't really want to use that for freight would you
