Awsome. Enjoyed every second of it! You would hope that fatso never has a bad day and misses!
Thanks for posting Ray.
SimonGirl, I don't wanna know about your mild-mannered alter ego or anything like that." I mean, you tell me you're, uh, super-mega-ultra-lightning babe? That's all right with me. I'm good. I'm good.

60163 Tornado
How about a brand new loco?
Published on Jun 21, 2012
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. Ref: The A1 Steam Locomotive Trust
A few videos

It's a pity the videos are a bit jerky in places, but they give you the idea.
I haven't managed to find it yet, but somewhere buried in Youtube is a great clip of the creation, building and testing of the Tornado.
You may have better luck
