Soon, the year 2008 had come, and Flying Scotsman and Silver Link were in the works being overhauled. The railways hadn't changed much, except for the engines much. Their was now many different lines that were reopened called heritage lines. It's a place where withdrawn steam and diesel engines are put on it to take tourists, and even some goods at times when they are needed. The Steam of Britain Fleet had not been expanding very much. Soon, the time had come, and there was a new engine being build. Bertram was sent to bring her to King's Cross to help out while Scotsman and Silver Link were in the works.

Bertram was very happy to see a new engine. "I wonder what the engine will look like." He then heard a whistle, and was confused. He then saw the doors open, and saw steam coming from the shop! "Wait, they built-" He watched as a large engine coming out of the works. She was apple green, had a 4-6-2 wheel configuration, and smoke deflectors that had the name plate Tornado. "-a new STEAM engine!?!?"

Bertram was amazed. "Hello," she said, "I'm Tornado." "I can't believe it," said Bertram, "A steam engine, built in the 21st century!!!" "I know, quite a shocker, right?" "Oh, where are my manners. My name's Bertram. I'm here to show you to King's Cross." "Very well," said Tornado

Tornado followed Bertram all the way to King's Cross. She looked all around, and saw the people crowding at the fences, and shouting, "LOOK, A NEW TRAIN!!/THEY STILL MAKE STEAM!?!/SHE LOOKS LIKE FLYING SCOTSMAN!!/I DON'T REMEMBER HER ON THE RAILWAY BEFORE!!" Tornado loved the attention. Soon, the two had arrived at King's Cross, and people on the platforms were amazed at the sight. Just then, Arron came up, and saw who he thought was Scotsman. "Scotsman, back already? You look nice. Why do you have British Railways on your tender? Why not LNER? Hey, are those new smoke..... de..... flectors?...... You're not Flying Scotsman." "No, I'm Tornado," said Tornado. "Nice to meet you Tornado. Are you related to Scotsman by any chance?" "Well, I guess I maybe his Grand Daughter in some ways." Arron then thought for a minute, and said, "WAIT, YOU MEAN YOU WERE BUILT JUST RECENTLY!?!?" "Finished today actually," said Tornado. Arron was speechless.

That night in the sheds, the engines all listened to Tornado as she told them why they built her so late. "I'm not a Gresley engine, I'm actually a Peppercorn class, based off the A1s of the LNER. I'm sure that Scotsman and I will get along just fine."

The next morning, Tornado was waiting impatiently at the platform, as two coaches were coupled up to her. "COME ON, COME ON!! I'M GONNA BE LATE!!!" "I think someone's being bossy," said Jack. Tornado just scoffed. Soon, she raced out into the country side. She was amazed at the people who came to see her. When she arrived at the end of the line, Silvia was there, and saw Tornado. "Oh, a new engine. And it's a girl! About time this fleet got a new female engine." "I know," said Tornado, "boys have it all."

Soon, Tornado had learned all that she needed to know about pulling a train. But she soon started to get an ego, but that's another story.
