The East Lancashire Railway has announced that 60163 Tornado will be visiting them for their upcoming Legends of Steam Gala, which takes place in March 2025.
The A1 is currently coming back from overhaul and will be joined by resident locomotives, 34092 City of Wells and 34081 92 Squadron; the latter recently arrived at the railway.
LMS Black 5 No. 45407 The Lancashire Fusilier will also join in the fun, taking a break from its mainline activities before it heads to Scotland to haul the famous Jacobite services.
Timetables are already live, and fares can be found on the ELR website
