    She sounds great in the video clips
    Not only is it a great echievment to the trust and its members but well done to the Fitters / erectors that put it together. For it to run so well out of the box so to speak is a real triumph
    once again WELL DONE

    Has anyone seen Tornado this week? IIRC she was supposed to be running a few more test trains prior to the big launch for the donors on Sunday. Has she been allowed to run faster than 25 mph yet?

    Great pictures! Great day! Well worth the investment and years of waiting.

    I was there, on the train, so don't have anything comparable sadly, but if I find anything half decent I'll post it later.

    I went to the GCR today to have a dose of Tornado on it's first day in service for the public. Impressive beast and you can sense the power within.
    Weather was naff but managed to get some photos of the day which are now on my fotopic site.

    Cheers,

    Paul

    Oh not again! Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

    When they're good and ready. Once all the shake-down trails are complete and there's little chance the cladding will need to come off.
