60163 Tornado & Deltic 55022 Storm Hanwell.

The newest steam locomotive built in the United Kingdom, the A1 class Peppercorn locomotive 60163 Tornado storms through Hanwell Station in the rain on the Cathedrals Express from Ely, Cambridgeshire to Bristol, Avon on the 04/08/2011.
Typically the only ontime scheduled train the 11:35 Heathrow Connect service to Paddington blocks many trainspotters a good view of this Steam Baby racing its way West.

The next clip is of the Class 55 Deltic no 55022 The Royal Scots Grey powers up from West Ealing heading West through Hanwell on a GBRF Private Charter from Peterbrorough via London Kings Cross to Weston Super-Mare (I think for the V festival).

In neither instance was the word storm appropriate! "Coast through" in Tornado's case and "roll through" in 22's. No thrash here :(

@drowzy721 I don't think that you have to love Deltics...

...I do think that anyone who doesn't is probably not to be trusted.
