The last of the renowned Peppercorn class 'A1' steam locomotives was scrapped in 1966, but, as you can read on this website, a brand new 'A1', No. 60163 Tornado, has been brought to life in Darlington.
Fitted with additional water capacity and the latest railway safety electronics, Tornado is fully equipped for today’s main line railway. However, for her to get into the main line passenger service in January 2009 we need your help – and you can still come on board for the price of a pint!
This website tells the story of the building of the locomotive and our plans for the future. We hope you’re able to join us on this exciting journey.
