Please follow the IET request and register in advance.

In 1990 a group of people came together to share an extraordinary ambition - to construct a brand new Peppercorn A1 Pacific.  They formed The A1 Steam Locomotive Trust and after nineteen years of incredible effort that locomotive, No. 60163 Tornado, moved under its own power for the first time in 2008.

If you think you've heard about this before, that's because an enthralling talk was presented to IMechE Glos on the 14th October 2009 by Bob Alderman.  So this is an opportunity for those who missed out first time around, and those who want to hear again about this amazing story.

The event is organised by the IET, joint with IMechE.  Details of other IET events can be found here.
