Second day of the Peppercorn Pioneer run from Doncaster to Durham.

Look out for my videos next week, as I am going to be on Tornado from Darlington to Kings Cross!

  • i think jeramy clarkson was on there

  • he wasn't on this run, this was filmed back in Januray

  • I haven't read all the comments, but my understanding is that this is the most recently built - from the ground up - steam loco in GB, and incorporates some features not found on the original Peppercorns

  • Indeed thats right :-)

    It's amazing to think that back in the 80's when I was born there were know A1s.

    And now today we have one working on the main line.

    She is a beauty, look forward to seeing her in BR Express Passenger Blue!

  • a lovely sight ruined by those daft overhead wire posts!

  • ok ill say it again =P

    1. Mallard is the current speed holder.

    2. Theres 3 working A4's in Britain anyway.

    3.If they take 60022 apart theres going to be no end of problems underneath anyway and it would be one hell of a job as the NRM have got problems with Scotsman at the moment. Enjoy whats left of Britains heritage.

see all

  • Why are all the English whistles always sooo high pitched?!

  • Excellent!!!

  • This is what people do when they don't have cable. Just Kidding! Nice train!

  • Stupid wire posts!

  • I love the fact that tornado has proved we still know how to make a good steam engine, better looking and sounding than electrics and im sure probably more on time!

  • great video mate thats a like and fav

  • That high intensity headlamp is REALLY annoying...it spoils the whole look having that thing beaming out the front like the North Star.

  • @sodorsno1 better than having a class 37, or worse a class 66/67 on the back though

  • Wait a second, so is this loco making regular service runs, or does it only come out for special needs?

  • capble of over 100 mph,,,,,,nice
