The A1 Steam Locomotive Trust is making a final effort to clear all remaining debts related to construction of A1 No. 60163 Tornado and preparation of support coach E21249. Bridging and personal loans, which financed The push to complete Tornado, have been repaid. In July, The trust announced that repayment of 1500,000 of bearer bonds - issued in 2004 to finance The boiler - would be made three years earlier than required.This leaves £ 200,000 to be paid to take ownership of The tender.
