New-build LNER A1 4-6-2 60163 Tornado on the turntable inside Barrow Hill roundhouse. I was the rostered fireman on this day.

A great shot. I am sure you worked hard firing that day. My only reservation about Tornado is the awkward way the Battle of Britain style nameplate sits. It is so clearly in the wrong place for a plate that shape. It spoils the whole design.

Cheers Phil. I had a great day. It's a bit bigger but in fact the nameplates for A1s "Great Central" & "Great Eastern" were very similar.

Very atmospheric and not an easy shot, taken facing the open doorway and skylights.
