The Severn Coast Express 60163 Tornado

The Severn Coast Express brought new build A1 Peppercorn Pacfic No.60163 Tornado to South Wales and the West Country. On the first leg of the Severn Coast Express, Tornado was filmed skirting the River Severn Estuary at Purton. After diverting east to film 70013 Oliver Cromwell on The Bath & Bristol Steam Express (see seperate film) we then caught up with 60163 as it departs Bristol as it passes through Bedminster.

Two excellent sequences, the latter being my favourite...5* Bob

I agree the second sequence at Bedminster is the better of the two , it was my first visit to Purton, arrived over a hour before it was due and like most places along the line crowds were already gathering and the best positions were taken not unlike your filming at BTM. Then when Tornado passed all you could hear was the clicks of the paparazzi, at Bedminster I was luck as there were more people filming.

wow! fantastic video! im met you at keynsham when cromwell was coming through. I think the Bedminster part was the better as well. Lovely whistle and smoke!

Excellent "double"! 5* - Bedminster does seem to be a good location, although I do like coastal shots. I wonder how long it will be before "Tornado" loses "Superstar" status and the crowds diminish a bit! Lol!

If you'd seen me at Temple Meads I was right at the end of the platform surrounded by people and no where to go, so it was arms up in the air to enable any filming at times...what we do for this hobby eh! Bob
