A lunchtime trip to Bristol today (7th) was rewarded by the sight of new-build BR 'A1' Peppercorn Pacific 60163 'Tornado' as it arrived with the  A1 Steam Locomotive Trust's 'Christmas Bath and Bristol Express',  1Z92 0803 Wolverhampton-Bristol  charter.   The loco certainly looked impressive as it simmered in the winter sunshine before heading out to Bedminster with its support coach.  

  All good wishes, Guy V.  Very impressive pictures  Many thanks Guy
