A joint IMechE and IET lecture.

In 1990 a group of people came together to share an extraordinary ambition - to construct a brand new Peppercorn A1 Pacific steam locomotive.

Now the same group is building a second new locomotive - this time it is a Gresley P2 2-8-2 to be named "Prince of Wales". When it is complete it will be the most powerful steam locomotive operating on the British main line.

This lecture will cover the story of Tornado's construction and recent operations. You will be able to hear about the P2 project, which has got off to an amazing start with over £1.6 million already pledged in just over a year towards the expected construction cost of £5 million.
