Tornado
After exhaustive tests she was cleared to run on mainline tracks in late 2008 and hauled her first train of people who had contributed to the project at the end of January. On Sunday, February 7th she hauled the first proper train of paying passengers from Darlington to Kings Cross. Many people, including me, went to the lineside to see this wonderful locomotive steam past and many (including me) posted the video footage of their glimpse on YouTube. By Sunday evening there were clips from the whole length of the journey and I decided to put together a collage of the journey. The list below contains the location, URL, title and owner of each video. Use it to visit to the clips on YouTube (some of them can be viewed in much higher definition) or to visit the people who posted them to see what else they have uploaded to YouTube. Important note: If you are the owner of one of these videos and do not wish it to be included in my collage please let me know and I'll remove it and re-upload the film).

The
first brand new steam locomotive to be built in Britain for many years
is Tornado. After 13 years and £3million a conversation in a pub
turned into reality in 2008.
