Tornado and The Winton Train


Title:
Tornado and The Winton Train

Description:
Tornado was chosen to do the honours hauling the Winton Train on the last leg from Harwich to london Liverpool Street. Firstly, sorry about shaky camera work beacause of the wind, it was really strong and not the lager from the night befor! We skipped off work from Fonte Dei Marmi Showrooms at Highgate Studios and walked around the corner to Gospel Oak Station in Gordon House Road nw5. Tornado was tucked inside a diesel no 67003 so was dificult to capture on film. After the support coach was the Pullman car "Trianon Bar", a wonderful carriage to travel in, the perfect way to travel I woud say. Rob England our consultant drove to Shenfield in Essex to catch Tornado at speed bringing its passengers who started their journey in Prague in to Liverpool Street. That slow train just would not leave the platform, so not a bad effort Rob. Then, later in the afternoon Rob managed to get a nice shot at Gospel Oak of the train being towed back from the City to Eastleigh, dropping Tornado off in South london en route. We had to have a bit of fun with our local station so here is Gresley A1 Tornado at 100mph running wrong line during yet another Networkrail possesion through Gospel Oak! At Hampstead Heath it was recorded at 127mph, beating Mallard an A4 by 1mph- the new world steam speed record! HMMM :p! I suppose that field at Hampstead Heath will now become famous with a blue plaque.

"Take Me by The Flying Scotsman" - Llangollen, 1994
This is my earliest memory of steam, which we found on an old tape a few weeks ago. I was barely 6 years old when I was taken to see my first steam locomotive - which happened to be the world famous Flying Scotsman, albeit in her dark green British Railways livery. My father took the film of what was a defining moment in my life - when I knew I loved steam locomotives, and most importantly, that one! Look out for a very young Simon Martin calling out "there's a tunnel!" near the end....
