Steam Rail News and Videos

British Steam Rail: More than Transport - a Passion

Jonboy Radio has had the privilege of sharing in the support of and following the progress of the Tornado Project, the re-entry of a Peppercorn Class Steam Locomotive renovation. This project was so successful during the bitter winter of 2011 found itself servicing main lines of the British Rail network when the electric trains failed. Tornado 60163 features strongly therefore in the following videos as does the Bluebell Railway which brings back fond memories for this septuagenarian.
