One year ago today, 60163 'Tornado' made her first public runs in her then new BR Express Blue Livery. This gave me an idea for a little compilation video, featuring all of the shots I have of Tornado running on the mainline in this livery from the past year. Not only is this livery gorgeous, it's also my personal favourite of all the BR livery for their steam locomotives. All shots in this video feature Tornado working Steam Dreams' popular 'Cathedrals Express' service, unless stated otherwise.
