The current plan is for Tornado to work with 47828 and the 125 Group's Mark 3s.The Great Central Railway - Nottingham is excited to announce the visit of legendary steam locomotive, 60163 Tornado, to Ruddington, home of the only Heritage Railway in Nottinghamshire during February 2018.
This superb A1 Pacific class locomotive is Britain’s newest steam locomotive built in 2008 and as part of the celebrations of her 10th year in service will be appearing for the first time at Ruddington. Despite her young age, Tornado is already iconic as a regular sight on mainline services and also having found fame on the television in “Top Gear” and “Tornado: The 100 MPH Steam Engine” alongside big screen fame in the 2017 film “Paddington 2” as well as being the first steam locomotive to reach 100mph in 50 years, so it is no surprise that we are excited to welcome her.
You will be able to travel on the former Great Central Railway main line on a return journey from Ruddington to Loughborough Junction behind this locomotive with 4 trains per day on Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th February 2018 at 10am, 12pm, 2pm & 4pm.
