A film from the archive.
In November 2008, after trials at the Great Central Railway and some shorter main line runs, the brand new A1 Peppercorn Pacific No 60163 'Tornado' took the East Coast Main Line for the first time for performance trials. This was the final one of three main line trials before the locomotive was painted and prepared for its first ever rail tour.
There was a load of several hundred tons behind the locomotive and it was able to reach speeds of 75mph for the first time, showing off its performance capability.
Look out for the incredible crowds and the view over the driver's shoulder.
