The new A1 class steam engine Tornado tries to achieve 100mph on the main line. The secret speed attempt will be made in the dead of night. If it tops the ton it will be the first time in 50 years steam has gone this fast. Tornado was built over two decades and financed by enthusiasts who want to show steam has a viable future on Britain's railway. 29 days left to watch. 30 minutes.

Indeed! Excellent programme, great shots and no filler. Well worth a watch.

Amazing. My heart was in my throat and when the speedo showed 100 I just filled up. The last time I felt like that was seeing Alan Pegler say "right away!" to the driver of 4472 at the start of the 1968 record attempt. That is a brilliant programme and can still be seen on iPlayer. Pegler with soot all over his face absolutely beaming the whole time.

Great stuff.

I had to laugh at the guy who said "we're not playing at trains". Yes you are mate and you are bloody loving it......

 

[Taunton]

Well done, but I think someone else originally did it, coming down the bank from Wellington to Taunton, what was it ... 113 years ago

Indeed, the GWR could lay claim to many firsts, but I'd forgotten that they can also lay claim to be the first railway with fake news.

That it happened in the US with boilers & grates a third bigger is more likely?
