Magnificent

The Walton Pier Express pulled by the new steam loco. TORNADO celebrating the 150th year of the Walton railway line.  Seen here passing through Wivenhoe Station.

It's so nostalgia.

Someone said there has been a Tornado at Wivenhoe on the 12/8/2017, this one was called 60163. We will probably never see this site at Wivenhoe on the main line again! Thanks to all the people who built the TORNADO and all who organized this great day
