    Does it have a slightly cut down cab and boiler fittings, they look pretty low in the full side view?

    Belle1, many thanks for posting this; I saw it on TV earlier today but was too late to record it. Good to see Tornado alongside another icon - 850.

    Malc, Good call! How true! Tornado is a story and the media, especially regional media, like stories.

    Is there any truth in reports that Tornado could be seen on the side of the M1 on its side yesterday? Not wanting to create fuss i am just interested!

    I'd have thought it would be pretty obvious if it had.

    Tornado is most definitely and more importantly safely at the GC - remember it is Great Dorset Steam Fair next week and even as early as Tuesday gone I've seen heavies on the roads heading there.

    Oh and to all of the A1 Trust, and all their visiting crew supporting the tests, she looks incredible and thank you for finally making me proud to say I come from Darlington.

    You might be interested in these, I took them yesterday.

    Tornado approaches Quorn with the first substantial run, passing Lord Nelson in the station which got delayed by about 15 minutes due to everybody getting off for a look.

    Back at Loughborough prior to the second run.

    That's it settled then, if Mogus accepts it into the yard, Tornado must be pucka.
