Evening all. A very quick post from today. This morning we were treated to the sight of Peppercorn A1 Pacific No60163 "Tornado" (the big model) steaming past work. The engine was working north out of Northampton station with a lengthy, well loaded train bound for Chester I believe. She made quite a sight and I must admit she looks fabulous in the BR Brunswick Green livery. Driver Mick Kelly gave us a quick wave before opening the engine up and setting into the journey towards the water stop at Rugby. The A1 sounded fantastic with her three-cylinder beat echoing all around as she barked into the distance. I'm not much of a fan of Eastern stuff but she did sound brilliant this morning. Cheers all and catch you next time, Sam...
