60163 TORNADO
Newbuild LNER A1 4-6-2 60163 'Tornado' accelerates hard past Hatton North Junction, away from its scheduled pathing stop in Hatton Down Goods Loop, with the 07:28 Victoria - Bridgnorth 'Severn Valley Venturer' on 8th September 2016.
This railtour was originally to move 60163 to the SVR for its planned visit for the SVR's 'Pacific Power' event alongside Flying Scotsman.
However, due to the current dearth of mainline steam locomotives, 60163 was due to move from the SVR to Bristol on 9th Sept, to cover the 'Torbay Express' on the 11th Sept, before returning to the SVR on the 12th Sept.
