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 most celebrated heritage locomotives, operating on both preserved railways and the national network.
This sound-fitted model captures the presence of this iconic locomotive, making it an excellent centrepiece for contemporary heritage and mainline steam layouts.
How to use it
This is a ready-to-run OO scale locomotive. Place it on compatible OO gauge track, connect it to an analogue or DCC controller, and couple it to suitable passenger coaches. For full sound functionality, operate the model on a compatible DCC layout.
This is a plastic model. It is not a toy.
