The A1 Steam Locomotive Trust launched a scheme to create a brand-new example in 1990, with construction carried out at the group’s Darlington base. Completed in 2008, ‘Tornado’ ran a series of tests at the Great Central Railway, Loughborough whilst in grey undercoat. It was granted a main line certificate in January 2009 and has been a regular performer on charters since, wearing a variety of BR steam-era liveries. In 2017, ‘Tornado’ became the first steam locomotive to reach 100mph for over 50 years.\"\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hornby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57117528326524,"sku":"R30519TXS","price":202.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0943\/3048\/7164\/files\/R30519_20Railroad_20BR_20Tornado_2060163.102041.jpg?v=1786092840","url":"https:\/\/www.kernowmodelrailcentre.com\/products\/r30519txs-hornby-railroad-british-railways-tornado-60163-br-so","provider":"Kernow Model Rail Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
