Excellent work, everyone. What a gorgeous blue beast. Looking forward to seeing Blue Peter on static display, sadly not in steam, at Severn Valley spring steam gala this coming weekend.
My son is special needs and he loves trains 🚆🚋🚞🚝🚊🚉🚈🚇🚅🚄🚃🚂 they're one of his favorite things in the whole world 🌎. He and I both really like British steam locomotives like that one because they closely resemble the ones in the Railway Series and Thomas The Tank Engine and Friends. He also thinks that Blue Peter reminds him of Gordon The Express engine because of its size, color, and wheel arrangement.
0:49 I was here on that day seeing that loco for the first time ever coming to do testing at the Severn Valley Railway at the same time as the private tour and flora dmu
Gawd bless all those involved in the restoration and making this locomotive look like a new build.. and gawd bless Geoff Drury for making it possible x
A minor point but the cabside numbers are too close to each other......look at earlier photos to confirm. Wonderful restoration BUT WHY not complete the finer detail correctly?? Surely the older loco restorers can see this error?
Excellent footage there of Blue Peter in action on the Severn Valley, fantastic loco, congratulations to the staff at Crewe for a first class overhaul.
Wow....what a great looking engine. As a child I loved watching these steam monsters. This engine is just too good. Well done to all those involved in getting this giant on the tracks again.
I think it would be fitting to get a crest of the Blue Peter badge and stick it on the side of the boiler would look fitting a nod to it being on the show back in the day tho probs need the bbc\bluepeter for the ok... The girl needs her badge
I’m not surprised that over 29K have watched this video so far , you have so much of interest and I sincerely hope you use this video as a stepping stone to much greater things .
