See A2 loco 'Blue Peters' debut after overhaul taking the Chairman on a run from Kidderminster to Highley in Bubble Car 'Flora'..!
See the loco departing Kidderminster and also the arrival into Highley. 60532 then detaches and allows 'Flora' to make her way into the station under her own power before Blue Peter is reattached after a few engineering checks in the sidings.
Hope you enjoy the video! Thanks for watching.

What a magnificent loco Blue Peter is. The Pepercorn A2 is, arguably, the zenith of British steam design. An excellent video.

So Nice to see 60532 back in steam! it's been a few years I know but well done to the team that's got her back to her former glory. 🙏👍

@ianpark1906 2 месяца назад

As nice as it is , seeing our favourite locos trundling around at 30mph.. Thanks to LSL we get to see them doing what they were made for (well almost) charging up and down the main line with a full rake in tow . Thank you LSL .. you're the best.

LSL dont do things by halves. Blue Peter and Flora, opposite ends of the preservation spectrum and both looking brilliant. And not forgetting the Brush 4 and the coaches either.

60532 Blue Peter looks immaculate. Great job LSL.

Glad I didn't waste my time standing by the fence to get a photo. All there was to show was ejector steam. Shame, 60532 looks great,when visible.

Truly wonderful to see 'Blue Peter' in steam and looking so great. I am vintage enough to remember the Peppercorn Pacifics being delivered new in the 1940s, many in that wonderful blue livery. And then some corporate idiot decreed that all the Pacifics, including the Gresley A4s, had to be in what I call 'cowpat' green. I recall being a very angry ten year old!

@howardrisby9621 2 месяца назад

OK, so I quipped about double arrows on the tender t'other day, but having checked, 60532 is classified 8P (actually 8P/7F) and therefore fully entitled to carry BR express passenger blue. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess the modern pigment is less susceptible to fading than the earlier shades employed by BR. Hope so. Fully lined out .... wow!! The main thing is Blue Peter is back and looking superb. Can't wait to see it attacking The Long Drag at the head of a rake of carmine & creams

I've seen many of your videos and I would like to say a massive thanks as I've never been to the SVR as my friend keeps saying it a nice place to visit. The last time 60532 Blue Peter went west of Cardiff Central was 1st July 2000 and was in green. I'll give a 15 over 10 from ➡️ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

@StephenDrysdaleBroughtylad 2 месяца назад

Looks fabulous and it will look even better after the lining and early BR emblem is applied but it needs an additional chime whistle like Tornado. This whistle which was standard fitting on many LNER locos including Flying Scotsman sounds very weedy and does not do the loco justice.👍

All the class 8P locos carried that beautiful express passenger blue livery from 1949 to 1952 dont you know and it will look superb hauling a rake of carmine and cream coaches. Move over Brunswick Green as there is a new kid in town.😁

@robertwilson738 2 месяца назад

Superb liveries, both of them. Blood and custard on the Bubble Car; one of the very best liveries ever seen on Britain's railways. Some of the utterly dreadful modern liveries seen today leave me exasperated.

@alangilbertson8239 2 месяца назад

@@StephenDrysdaleBroughtylad A2s were the only LNER Pacifics that never were painted in BR blue. Blue Peter was outshopped in apple green with 'British Railways' on the tender, then after 18 months it went straight to BR Green. No A2s were blue - ever.

@StephenDrysdaleBroughtylad 2 месяца назад

Yes you would be correct on this regarding the A2's and although classed as 8P they were dismiised for the blue livery because of their smaller driving wheels but the A1 batch built in 1949 were outshopped in BR blue so Tornado in blue is an authentic.livery.@@alangilbertson8239
