Why this kit matters
60163 Tornado is the first new mainline steam locomotive built in Britain since the 1960s. Completed in 2008 by the A1 Steam Locomotive Trust, it was constructed to the original Peppercorn Class A1 design and has become one of Britain's best-known heritage locomotives, regularly operating on preserved railways and the national rail network.
This model captures the elegance and engineering of a modern steam icon, making it an excellent addition to contemporary heritage railway layouts and steam locomotive collections.
