Tornado Royal Naming - Weardale Railway Junior Club

On Thursday 19th February 2009 HRH The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall officially named the new Peppercorn class A1 steam locomotive Tornado in a ceremony at York Station, and 16 members of the Weardale Railway Junior Club were there as VIP guests.

Following the arrival of the Royal Train, The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall met the group and spoke to individual members during which Josie Brown presented The Duchess with a bouquet and James Pearcy presented The Prince with a copy of the Weardale Railway's "Rebirth" book and WRjc information leaflet whilst talking about the club.

The group then watched as the royal couple officially named 60163 Tornado and the departure of the Royal Train with Prince Charles at the controls.
