Hundreds of steam enthusiasts have been enjoying the chance to see Britain's newest and fastest steam locomotive, Tornado.

The locomotive is unique because no original engines in its class were saved when steam engines came to an end.

Tornado is the fastest steam locomotive and it can reach speeds of 100 miles per hour. It's fame extends beyond it's speed as it also has been used in the film, Paddington 2 and motor series, Top Gear.

It was built back in 2008, costing £3 million.

Organiser, Alan Kemp, said:

The locomotive can be seen in Ruddington, Nottinghamshire.
