Rightfully dubbed 'Year of the Express Engine' ,  2008 was an exciting year for The Great Central Railway, as several famous names graced Britain's only preserved double-track mainline. Two of the most notable were 'End of Steam' celebrity Pacific 70013 Oliver Cromwell and newly built Peppercorn A1 Pacific 60163 Tornado. Both Locos feature together with a host of other distinguished survivors from the age of steam.
