Title: Excuse my humour...but this made me smile. Post by: BerkshireBugsy on May 16, 2013, 20:06:35 I was trying to find evidence of a steam loco passing through Reading last weekend and I came across the following manual (originally on the tornado site)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tornado-Manual-Peppercorn-Locomotive-Workshop/dp/1844259897 (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tornado-Manual-Peppercorn-Locomotive-Workshop/dp/1844259897) Now anyone who has tinkered with cars will know the Haynes brand but I never realised such a thing existed for a (recent) steam loco! I can just imagine some drooling over this! (I'm not belittling this, I love it!) Title: Re: Excuse my humour...but this made me smile.

I wonder how many people own a Tornado and need a repair manual? Title: Re: Excuse my humour...but this made me smile. Post by: BerkshireBugsy on May 16, 2013, 20:47:29 "Only 9 left in stock" ... I wonder how many people own a Tornado and need a repair manual? You never know when one may come in handy! I actually read some of the reviews, which apart from rating the manual quite highly are also quite amusing! Title: Re: Excuse my humour...but this made me smile.

Indeed - would love to have a Tornado parked in a siding at Melksham that would could take out and use ... ... oh - did you mean a manual would come in handy ;D ;D Title: Re: Excuse my humour...but this made me smile.

Now the following confession will probably get my account deleted but I have realised I don't know exactly where on the rail network Melksham is ...I need to look this up! I was wondering Grahame if you could park your Tornado in the network of tunnels that is "supposed to exist" in box tunnel? We had a handyman in to do some painting recently and he loved his conspiracy theories and he was telling me about a nuclear bunker in that area which I ignored at the time until curiosity got the better of me and I went on google...
