East Coast Mainline, UK viewed from a steam train hauled at speed by 'Tornado' -Britain's newest express steam locomotive

---

The Talisman railtour, named after a famous train from the steam era, was one of the first mainline outings for the new locomotive. 60163 Tornado is a main line coal-fired steam locomotive built in Darlington, County Durham, England. Completed in 2008, Tornado was the first such locomotive built in the United Kingdom since Evening Star, the last steam locomotive built by British Railways in 1960. It is the only example of an LNER Peppercorn Class A1 locomotive in existence, the entirety of the original production batch having been scrapped without preservation.
