Quote: The A1 Steam Locomotive Trust, the registered charity behind Tornado, the first new main line steam locomotive to be built in Britain for almost 50 years, today announced that it had started a feasibility study into the construction of a second new main line steam locomotive, a Gresley class P2. The Trust also announced that by the end of June 2010 the Trust will have halved the debt incurred during the construction of Tornado and that the only remaining debt associated with the locomotive will be the £500,000 bearer bond due for repayment by the end of 2016. |
