The last of the renowned Peppercorn class A1 steam locomotives was tragically scrapped in 1966. But, as you’re reading this website, a brand new A1, 60163 Tornado, is being brought to life in Darlington. Fitted with additional water capacity and the latest railway safety electronics, Tornado is fully equipped for today’s main line railway. However, for it to enter main line service in autumn 2008 we need your help – and you can still come on board for the price of a pint! This website tells the story of the building of the locomotive so far. We hope you’re able to join us on this exciting journey. This website is illustrated with many photographs, © various, licenced to The A1 Steam Locomotive Trust. High-resolution copies are available for a fee or donation to the Trust: contact
