Following a servicing visit on her 6 November 2008 test run, "Tornado" returned to the Barrow Hill roundhouse for the weekend of 4–5 April, arriving on 30 March. As well as "Tornado", the LNER themed event featured, among others, the LNER locomotives A2 Class 60532 "Blue Peter", and the A4 Class locos 4498 "Sir Nigel Gresley" and 4488 "Union of South Africa". At this event, "Tornado" was posed alongside narrow gauge () locomotive No.7 "Typhoon" of the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway, recreating an LNER publicity shot held previously with "Typhoon" and LNER Class A3 4472 "Flying Scotsman". 60532 "Blue Peter", which is a semi-permanent resident of Barrow Hill, was repainted in apple green for display alongside "Tornado". The 6 November meeting of "Tornado" and "Blue Peter" in the Barrow Hill roundhouse re-created a scene not witnessed for nearly 50 years. From 16 August 2009 to 2 September 2009, "Tornado" visited Didcot Railway Centre. From 24 October 2009 to 7 November, "Tornado" visited the Severn Valley Railway for October half term, where it ran with the SVR's LNER set of teak carriages.
