I much prefer to see a Class A4 with exposed running gear, the preserved Nigel Gresley on the NYMR is the same.

It's retiring soon and going to put in static display.

Thanks Clicker, yes it does. The Tornado was the first steam engine  to unofficially reach 100mph in 50 years.

I have another couple coming, one of the Union of South Africa and another Scotsman taken this Fri,Sat and Sun. The first Scotsman video is at almost 100 view in 4 1/2 days, which is not bad since I only have 2 subscribers.

Nice set as usual Rye!

Thanks Dee

I did a video of it running on the ELR which might have been it's final steam run

Very nice Rye!
