It serves several purposes, it was a loaded test run so it was there "just in case", it provides heat and light for the coaches and also ads to the dead weight being pulled by Tornado. Its useful for stock movement too, there's not many turntables around these days, think Station Pilot. |

That is one cracking loco and a super video, thanks for sharing it with us. If she is going to be painted in LNER green with BR lettering (as in the picture in your post) she is going to look stunning. | ||
