Description
LNER Peppercorn Class A1 No 60163 Tornado
In 1990 a group of people came together to share an extraordinary ambition – to construct a brand new Peppercorn A1 Pacific. They formed The A1 Steam Locomotive Trust and after nineteen years of incredible effort that locomotive, No. 60163 Tornado, moved under its own power for the first time in 2008.
LNER Peppercorn Class A1 No. 60163 Tornado is a 4-6-2 steam locomotive completed to an original design by Arthur Peppercorn. It is the first newly built British mainline steam locomotive following the completion of No. 92220 Evening Star in 1960, and the only Peppercorn Class A1 in existence after the original batch was scrapped. In 2017, Tornado became the first steam locomotive to officially reach 100 mph on British tracks for over 50 years.
