I don't know what it is about our beloved Tornado but ever since I first saw her pass me at Dalgety Bay climbing north, I detected in an instant that she was an exceptional locomotive. She smoothly "hushed" past us like a gigantic sewing machine: silk like, precise as a Swiss watch: no fuss, no effort. Her motion seemed to just glide without friction in every direction: back and forth, compounded with big rotations blending off-set cranks transferring instructions to and from pistons and valves; so elegant, so refined, so perfect. The dimensions of her driving wheels are not really exceptional nor are the planes of the connecting rods and the associated valve gear but Tornado definitely has a certain charisma when she is moving, especially at speed. She is like a greyhound with honed limbs of stainless steel and she roars toward you like a turbojet with hardly a beat to her exhaust. A "Magnificent Machine" for us to behold and a treasure for us to have on the rails in this age and in the future thanks to to the marvellous foresight, vision and expertise of of today's Great British Railway Engineers.
A first class and thoroughly enjoyable compilation, thanks Liam and Phil. The alternating scenes with different liveries give this a real sense of railway history. My favourite sequence has to be your brilliant pan at 26:35. Kind regards, Bob.
It replicates the class a1 peppercorns so well. They perform absolutely sublimely in there unfortunately short 16 years of service. But they where amazingly effilent and powerful locos
Thanks! I really enjoyed this. I've been out of the UK for 50 years and one of the sequences shows a piece of road that I used to cycle along at least twice every day (school + training), through the fifties. I loved it!
Always a star Laim ... some great shots there .... I have just shared with the A1 Group ... I was one of their founder members in 1990! Member number 28!
These old girls let there hair down....Steam up...High Balling on down the line.WOW...Bring back a lot of memories for me...l am 78 years old now.....Very nice to them covering ground...The Tornado is the one that broke the speed record just a few years back l think....Thanks so very very much....From Kentucky USA...!
I love how the video starts off with an excellent driver blowing one of the greatest iconic locomotives in Britain, Tornado usually doesn't blow her whistle often on pass bys.
I think that it is a shame that the powers that be in Aussie can't see the value of STEAM excursions like the ones in the UK. It really brings back memories, thanks for the great video.
Agreed. I live near a railway line in Melbourne's west. A steam train used to pass through here regularly once. Now it only does so on very rare occasions.
NO CERTAINLY NOT EXCELLENT AS YET ANOTHER GUY IS TOO LAZY TO GIVE THE PROPER COMPLETE DETAILS, JUST A YEAR IS NO GOOD AND FOR EXAMPLE HARESFIELD DOES NOT SAY WHERE THE HECK THIS IS WITH SUCH STATION. THESE INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE NOT BOTHERED TO DO THE JOB WELLB SHOULKD STSY CLEAR OF YOU TIBE AND NEED TO BE BANNED OFFF YOU TUBE, THAT WILL TEACH THEM THIS KIND OF BAD ATTITUDE IS GETTING RIFE EVERYWHERE AND ENDEMIC OF THE NOW INCOMPETENCE OF THE NOW USELESS UK !!!!.
I don't understand people, this is a great video and its shot very professionally . I am in awe and only hope that I make it to G.B. this fall and can spend a few days shooting still's of these magnificent trains. I would say if your dissatisfied go out and shot them ones self. Greetings from Canada were its sunny and minus 28C. Cheers keep up the great work.
Grande Monsieur! As youngsters in Ireland, mon amour, we always loved it when the trains passed by at a leisurely rate, as it provided us a great chance to bounce a few ripe tomatoes off some of the pork-pie-faced blokes who stuck their mugs out the window/door openings. Mon Dieu, what fun. ESPECIALLY if they were holding a pint a' bitters that they then dropped! Ho-Ho-Ho!...as Monsieur Santa would say.
@@MarshSteamVideosTM True, but I was referring to the fact that their colour schemes are almost identical. Mind you, I'm not suggesting that there's any thing wrong with that.
On specials like that, they are normally just there to provide electric train heating (ETH), especially with air con rolling stock. Some firms use stock with built in generators instead, which looks a bit better! Do the sums yourself, re. dead weight on tow. Of course, the 'tail end' locomotives can also be used for other movements when convenient.
The locomotive was designed by the LNER, under the guidance of Arthur Peppercorn, who was the chief mechanical engineer of the London North Eastern Railway !
@@MarshSteamVideosTM Yes, it’s a modern interpretation of a classic design, for which no originals exist. Quite a few alterations of course (as it is for anything allowed to run on NR lines). Even the boiler is quite different construction wise. It was made in a factory in Germany which carried on in the East as a manufacturer for Deutsche Reichsbahn, before the wall came down. If there hadn’t been East Germany, it probably wouldn’t be there now (Dampflokwerk Meiningen - www.dampflokwerk.de).
May I remind you that Tornado is a new engine. Scotsman on the other hand is approaching his 98th birthday! There's nothing wrong with giving him a well deserved helping hand.
Beautiful video thanks for sharing.

Tornado is my most favourite steam loco ever!
A modern locomotive,but so iconic.Just to see her at full throttle,sends the blood coursing through my viens. Fantastic cinematography too ! :)
A wonderful record of this fine loco Liam and Phil..a very enjoyable watch...Bob
Brilliant. I can smell the steam even now.
I've always loved steam trains and now I might get a chance to ride on this particular steam train this year sometime

Technically since only 49 of the Loco were built the wife of the designer declared this as the last of the series of 50
That awesome LNER/A4 whistle sends shivers up me!

She looked great in BR Express Blue.
Agreed
It’s OK way better than Brunswick green!

this is the "new" steam loco that started build in the 90s and was completed around 2006-2008 :)
Tornado first ran on 29/7/2008. He/she is still only 12 years old at this time.
Thanks so much. Tornado is my absolute favorite!
I love how the video starts off with an excellent driver blowing one of the greatest iconic locomotives in Britain, Tornado usually doesn't blow her whistle often on pass bys.
Lovely collection, thumbs up :)
Love it!
I love this video and it's my fav loco!
Flying Scotsman’s it nicer but still a beautiful engine
best video ever!!:D thanks for sharing!
I love Tornado

Of course Australia doesn't have anything that comes remotely close to The Flying Scotsman. No country ever will.
1:08 legit the best whistle in the world in my opinion
Is this loco a new one? I want to know how much speed it can run by
Tornado is younger than me.
Well, there are many of commenters who can say this :))
Excellent mainline competition with tornado mate

Tornado is a grand locomotive. But is there a specific reason why he looks so much like his world famous counterpart?
Both designed by the LNER. Tornado is an A1 Class and Flying Scotsman is an A3 Class
@@MarshSteamVideosTM True, but I was referring to the fact that their colour schemes are almost identical. Mind you, I'm not suggesting that there's any thing wrong with that.
@@elainelethborg2550 Hopefully you know by now that Tornado changed her liveries not once. And Flying Scotsman did as well.
I’m not an anorak, but there’s just something about a steam train.
You don't need to keep records of the locos' numbers to appreciate their grandeur.
The glory of steam is here compared to the drab and bland diesels of modern years.
英国の皆様は、よくぞこのＳＬをお創りになりました。敬意を表したいと思います。
Who, or which railway, owns LNER Tornado?
The locomotive is owned by the A1SLT, A1 Steam Locomotive Trust
What Camera do you use?
The quality is very good
Panasonic VXF1 and X920
@@MarshSteamVideosTM cheers loved the video btw
@@KiwiRailSpotter Thanks mate
Why have a big fat diesel on the back , is it pushing it along ?

these diesel pushing claims are getting dumber and dumber
How can it be LNER Tornado when the LNER ceased to exist in 1948 and this beautiful engine wasn't built until 2008 - 60 years later?
Are you serious? If so what would you have her affiliated with?

Tornado never runs slow hmm.
I think my previous comments apply !
I love and all but tornado wasn’t built by the Lner she was built by BR
This locomotive was designed by the LNER, way before the existence of British Rail. Tornado was built by the A1 Steam Locomotive Trust.
Paul Caswell I am not a religious man but lord help protect me from the Tschuri Fetzens of this world!
I think it's all the same little incel, trying to get a rise, he keeps using different usernames.
No help from a diesel.......thats a first
May I remind you that Tornado is a new engine. Scotsman on the other hand is approaching his 98th birthday! There's nothing wrong with giving him a well deserved helping hand.
I would of course prefer to see that help coming from another steamie!
If people aren't allowed 2 smoke or vape at train stations, so why is Tornado allowed 2 do it.
