60163 TORNADO
With smoke deflectors working efficiently A1SLT LNER A1 4-6-2 'Tornado' creates a uniform plume of exhaust as it heads UKRT's 09:43 1Z91 Victoria - Bath & Bristol 'The Bath Spa Christmas Express' past Southcote Junction, Reading on a clear, crisp 1st December 2016.
Passing Southcote 7 minutes late 60163 made up time to arrive at Newbury Racecourse on time for a scheduled water stop. Unfortunately departure from the water stop was 49 minutes late, reportedly due to the whistle on Tornado not working. Bath was reached 46 mins late reduced to 40 mins by Bristol.
