Despite the setbacks that have delayed Tornado's return to traffic, good progress is being made on the overhaul at Locomotive Maintenance Services (LMS) in Loughborough. Here we have a selection of images covering the rewiring being conducted, some of it associated with the fitting of the ETCS system.  To find out how you can support the Overhaul Club, click here.  All photos by Rob Morland.
