Going, going.................... within another 200m new-build LNER A1 pacific 60163 Tornado on the North Briton steam railtour will plunge into the darkness of Blea Moor Tunnel under the Yorkshire fells on the Settle & Carlisle Line. HWW to everyone. Enjoy the day. Best seen large!

My wife and I treated ourselves to dinner on The Charnwood Forester which departed behind new-build A1 4-6-2 60163 Tornado at 19.00 and made two trips to Leicester North while we ate. It was excellent. This shot was taken at 20.40 after arriving back at Loughborough on the first trip. It highlights 60163's under carriage lighting! HFF to everyone. Have a great weekend.

New-build LNER A1 4-6-2 60163 Tornado really draws the crowds. The gallery (including me of course) lined up 3 deep to capture its departure from the Down Loop at Loughborough with the 11.50 goods train during the East Coast Main Line weekend

It was pouring down with rain but the departure had to be recorded. This is the delayed 12.50 service with new-build LNER A1 4-6-2 60163 Tornado on the front heading south out of Loughborough Central station & approaching Beeches Road bridge. Mark the morning fireman peers out of the cab looking to call the Section signal.

New-build LNER A1 pacific 60163 Tornado whistles up as it drops down into the ex-SER side of Victoria station with the returning Belmont British Pullman, an afternoon dining special which ran out to Guildford from Victoria and back via East Croydon.
