    ECML disruption - broken down train near York (21/02)

    Steam Loco Power Where does it come from?

    Tornado has a steam powered generator and IIRC an axle on the tender is connected to a alternator. "In addition to the above, Tornado has a sophisticated electrical system, deriving power from a Stones turbo-generator, batteries and a tender mounted alternator."...

    Multiple Working

    If it is a stopping service it may not get about 75mph for example so running a 158/150 mix is not really a problem and will still keep to time.
