Hi All,
I watched an fascinating short documentary featuring the 'Tornado - Steam Engine' via BBCi (Available until 12/6)
The new A1 class steam engine Tornado tries to achieve 100mph on the main line. The secret speed attempt will be made in the dead of night. If it tops the ton it will be the first time in 50 years steam has gone this fast. Tornado was built over two decades and financed by enthusiasts who want to show steam has a viable future on Britain's railways. Does the Tornado do it ?
Please to those who have already watched it no spoilers!!
Geoff.
