Tornado in Green

[Unfortunately, 'Sir Keith Park' (34053) is still a lovely shade of rust!]

The Romney Hythe and Dymchurch Railway has renumbered 'Typhoon' as No 60164-the next number in the 'A1' series after No 60163 'Tornado'...... a good bit of marketing for Britain's only double track, miniature main line''.

Just a reminder that if you want to see 60163 on its' way down, check the http://www.uksteam.info/tours/index.htm website. Click on the 'Main line steam tour programme 2009' and use the [Times] link to check when and where she will be. Best to leave it until the day before and/or the actual day, as the situation affecting timings does change !
