Tornado at Orpington, 14/2

[DUFFMAD47]

Hi all

Following yesterday's railtours employing 60163 'Tornado' in London, the loco ventured deep into South Eastern territory just before Midnight, when it reversed at Orpington during its 5Z97 2257 London Victoria to Grove Park empty stock working. A picture from Orpington can be found at:

That's a nice shot, I like the fact that you've got the whole train in and not just the loco as so many do, well done.
I'd be tempted to clone out that electric unit on the left though.

Hi James

67028 had worked the ECS from London Victoria to Orpington, where the train then reversed, with Tornado then hauling the Orpington to Grove Park leg, the 67 then being on the rear.

Hope this clarifys

Tour stock went to Eastleigh from Grove Park with 67028. Tornado only had it's support coach when it worked from HG to York.
