The A1 Steam Locomotive Trust, a registered charity, built Peppercorn class A1 Pacific No. 60163 Tornado at its Darlington Locomotive Works UK and, built by volunteers, it was completed in 2008. Of the original Peppercorn Class, 49 locomotives were built in 1948/49 at Doncaster and Darlington by British Railways but by 1966 all had been scrapped . The new Tornado locomotive fills a gap in the classes of restored steam locomotives.

Tornado was named by HRH The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall at York station on 19th February 2009. The locomotive was named in honour of the crews who flew RAF Tornado fast jets during the first Gulf War in 1990/91 when the project to build the new Peppercorn class A1 steam locomotive was launched.

Since completion in Darlington in 2008, the new Peppercorn class A1 Pacific No. 60163 Tornado has covered over 100,000 miles and seen service on the Network Rail main line and heritage railways right across Great Britain.

The image was produced from an original photo taken at Barrowhill Roundhouse in September 2017 where it was operated along with The Flying Scotsman on a special visitor attraction day.
