Keep her lit drive

Just had to share this with you, if you are a steam enthusiast.
This is a newly built steam engine, “Tornado”, steaming up Shap.

Crikey the camera quality isn’t too hot! Would love to be on the 'plate though.

Yea, lovely piece of kit, I love steam motive power, I used to have a steam railway in my back garden, although the loco wasn’t quite as large as that!

If you were standing that close to the external combustion engine, your hand wouldn’t be too steady either!

It’s a bit smaller but one of my boys is having this for his birthday present next month.
