The A1 Steam Locomotive Trust is a Darlington, England based charitable trust formed in 1990 for the primary purpose of completing the next stage of the locomotive heritage movement, the building of a new steam locomotive from scratch (i.e. not a re-build of an existing locomotive). This project became the construction of 60163 Tornado, carried out by Locomotive Construction Co Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of the A1 Trust. After over 15 years of fundraising and construction, Tornado steamed for the first time in January 2008.

Darlington Locomotive Works – The Works is open to the public on the first and third Saturday of each month between 10:00hrs to 15:00hrs. Entry is free of charge, and all are welcome to come along to view the progress being made on the P2, No. 2007 Prince of Wales.
