Wow! A surviving A1 in Brunswick Green Livery is cool!

@scotsman125 Tornado isn't a "survivor", none of the original A1 Peppercorn locomotives made it into preservation. Tornado was built by the A1 Locomotive Trust to build a 50th member of the class and to bring back a class long since gone. Work on her started in the early 90's and she was completed by 2008, I believe.

@SodorProductionsII .... I have to Agree with you there ... but I guess to folks who know very little about the locomotive they could be fooled into thinking Tornado is an " Older Model " ... ha ha

@scotsman125 ... Tornado is The Only A1 Peppercorn locomotive in the World ... NOT a Survivor ... but Completely NEW and built from Scratch to fill a Gap in the Collection of A1 ... A2 .. A3 .. And A4 locomotives.
Their Next project will hopefully be a P2 ... All of those locomotives were also Scrapped and lost to History.

She looks great, but why did they repaint her? Frankly there are many BR Brunswick Green engines in preservation and much fewer in LNER Apple Green; personally I think she looks better in Apple Green. Anyway, can't complain, she's beautiful whatever colour. Thanks for Uploading this! =)

I couldn't disagree more I'm afraid. The A1s spent by far the majority of their lives in Brunswick Green and
I think they suit this colour more than Apple Green even if the LNER intended initially to paint them in this.
As you say however shes beautiful in any colour. I actually prefer the A1s to the A4s and the A3s for pure looks.

@MrGordieb .... Scotsman looks better in Apple Green .. as does Tornado ... but I think the A4`s look Great in Any colour because of their Wonderful shape.

@Rabbitbunvoo .... I believe it was part of an agreement that Tornado would wear 4 or 5 colours in the first few years of service on the mainline.
Tornado is an impressive locomotive .. no matter what colour is carried.
