Tornado: The 100mph Steam Engine

A documentary, first broadcast in 2017, in which the A1 class steam engine Tornado, financed by enthusiasts and completed in 2008, tries to achieve 100mph on the main line. If successful, it would be the first time that a steam locomotive had gone that fast in 50 years.
