The first steam engine to be built in Britain for nearly fifty years sets off.
Britain turned the clock back almost 50 years to the romantic age of steam as a brand new steam train built by volunteers carried passengers to the capital in style. The Tornado, the first mainline steam locomotive to be built in the UK for nearly five decades, steamed from Darlington to London's Kings Cross, pulling the Talisman train, at the end of a week in which Britain's modern-day rail services have been severely disrupted.
