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
Had this loco on my train today! First time I’ve shunted with it.
Enjoyed it very much.Great video.

@@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
