Yesterday; 60163 Tornado ventured South, hauling the Cathedrals Express from Peterborough to Winchester; which is where I saw her.  I also had the pleasure of meeting with my good friend Simon of Brookes Castle; a blog that is definitely well worth following.

Tornado has recently been painted in BR blue, a colour that in my opinion suits it rather well.

A Blue Christmas! Tornado in BR Blue

The locomotive is set to wear this new uniform throughout 2013.  Seeing 60163 in new colours provides a perfect excuse to track down the locomotive to get a snap or two!

If you do get to see Tornado or any other train for that matter; do not forget to send one or two pictures into the Locoyard Christmas Photograph Competition (click here for more details).
