Tornado returns to Tyseley birthplace 27 June 2009

27th June 2009

The star guest at the Tyseley 101 Open Day was Peppercorn A1 Pacific No 60163 Tornado, returning for the first time as a complete engine to the place where its frames were laid down. Also on display was an impressive display of resident motive power, largely of GWR origin. The next major project for Tyseley will be the restoration of No 7029 Clun Castle.
