Lens 150 - The A1 Tornado

#150 The A1 Steam Tornado

The A1 Steam Trust's Tornado is the first steam engine built in Britain for forty years, and is currently in mainline operation. A Peppercorn class she is capable of great speed pulling a nine coach train - and looks absolutely stunning in motion.

I had been debating what to do for 150, as I wanted to do something special for my target lens. The A1 Tornado is definitely something special. Besides, as I like steam engines and jet planes, a steam engine named after a fighter jet is the best of both worlds.
