60163 Tornado on VSOE with lots of whistling! 20 Aug 2010

60163 Tornado, newly built LNER A1 Peppercorn Class 4-6-2 Pacific, pulled the VSOE Luncheon Special Pullman train from London Victoria around the Surrey Hills on 20th August 2010.

The loco has only returned to operations this week after several weeks out of action having faulty boiler stays replaced. She remains one of the biggest draws at the lineside with large numbers turning out to see her on all her trips.

We see the train first of all just after passing through Woking Station at 2pm. then 45 minutes later running fast through Gomshall Station, making light work of the climb up the bank.

The crew seem to have been really happy to be out on her again, as they were sounding the whistle at every opportunity :-)
