A1 Class Tornado Travels Scotland


The A1 class steam locomotive 'Tornado' is hauling rail tours in Scotland this month.

She was built by steam train enthusiasts in Darlington at a cost of £3m.

The original design was by Arthur H Peppercorn and forty-nine were built in the late forties by BR before being scrapped in the mid sixties.

Four tours are being run by Abellio ScotRail and yesterday was her Stirling to Inverness run.

So, a bit of chasing around the country to get a few images on a day that turned quite sunny was a lot of fun.
