The Return of 'Tornado' from Barrow Hill through Sheffield at 3 locales - 4598/608

* Darnall Station
The great re-opening of Barrow Hill Roundhouse took place over the weekend and for this event there were several 'star turns' present, amongst which were the country's favourite locomotives, seemingly, the A1 Steam Trust's Peppercorn A1, class 4-6-2, 60163, 'Tornado' and from a much different age, L.N.E.R. class A3, 4-6-2 Pacific, 4472, 60103, 'Flying Scotsman'. After the weekend events, which took place over 3 days from Friday 22nd September until Sunday 24th September, the two star locomotives returned south and north, in this 1st set of 3 pairs of pictures, Tornado is seen heading south, after a loco turn via Sheffield from Barrow Hill on Monday and today, Tuesday 26th, 'Flying Scotsman headed straight back to the National Railway Museum at York. With rather indifferent, misty weather starting the 'Return' proceedings off on Monday morning, these 1st two shots show 'Tornado', 60163, being helped along the Lincoln line at Darnall Station by DBC class 67, 67029, 'Royal Diamond' at the front and a 'blood and custard' support coach at the rear, with Tornado in Steam and looking pretty good in the damp conditions. There's not much in the way of traction on this section of the Lincoln line, an hourly service each to and from Lincoln Central and the occasional freight working to or from Barrow Hill along with the odd test train. Today, a Northern Rail class 142, 142086 ambles along for a station stop at Darnall, no passengers or anyone else being present, on its way from Scunthorpe via reversal at Sheffield and on through here via Worksop to Lincoln Central on the 2P65 passenger service. Quite a contrast to the set which is passing by on the down line to Sheffield on the 5Z58, Barrow Hill L.I.P. via Sheffield to Toton T.M.D. working with 67029, 60163 and a support coach. Some information regarding the Peppercorn Class A1 loco can be found here-

and of course, on the the A1 Steam Locomotive Trust's website-

Autumn is now upon us, the equinox was 4 days ago and already the leaves are turning colour forming, at last, a decent backdrop to the pictures...
