Summary[edit]

Description
English: The Bluebell Railway are delighted to announce that to help celebrate their 50th Anniversary Celebrations, the recently constructed new steam locomotive 60163 Tornado will be visiting the railway from July 31st to Sunday 8th August.

Tornado starred in an episode of ‘Top Gear’, first shown in 2009 and watched by over seven million people, racing a Jaguar XK120 car and Vincent Black Shadow motorcycle from London to Edinburgh, with presenter Jeremy Clarkson on-board. The new £3m Peppercorn class A1 pacific steam locomotive was built over almost 20 years by The A1 Steam Locomotive Trust, a registered charity, at its Darlington Locomotive Works. Frequently headlined in the press and on TV, 60163 Tornado was the subject of a BBC documentary ‘Absolutely Chuffed: The Men Who Built a Steam Engine’ broadcast on Christmas Eve on BBC2 last year and now available from the Trust on DVD. The locomotive was officially named Tornado by TRH The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall in February 2009 and has since entered service on excursion trains on the Network Rail main line. During this period of the visit, the locomotive will haul the 12pm, 2pm and 4pm train from Sheffield Park Station for the 90 minute return journey to Kingscote. There will be an extra train at 10.am on Saturday 31st July.
