With news that 60163 Tornado is making its first public appearance in service this weekend since 2022.
Here's one I took in January 2022 before the locomotive was withdrawn for its overhaul.
Looking forward to more mileage behind her tomorrow.

@martin_etherton Wow! Excellent. Congratulations to everyone involved. I remember when 15 was at the MRC. Looking forward to travelling many more miles behind her.

Fed up with the usual nonsense coming out from Conservatives and Labour.
How about if we all just voted for our local independents.
Might make the big two parties stop spouting rubbish.
