Wow.. What a sight as Blue Peter roars out of Severn Valley back onto the Mainlines for the first time in over 20 years! What a fantastic scene as the A2 loco makes it's move back to Crewe after a successful testing and running period on the Severn Valley over the last couple of months.
See LSL loco 37667 arrive from Crewe to form insurance for the return trip back to Crewe. The formation is created with 'Blue Peter' then to grab it's moment of glory blasting through Kidderminster station northbound.
Hopoe you enjoy the video! Thanks for watching.

You've captured great footage of some gorgeous vintage precious metal, especially of Blue Peter. It looks like the only thing left to do is stencil the BR Early Logos on it's tender, before she heads off onto the excursion circuit to recoup the refurb costs.

Do you know the running code for this test run?

I can't remember what the item was for the Blue Peter Appeal, which was set up to help fund the preservation. The only item that comes to mind is milk bottle tops but that might of been for the Guild Dog For The Blind Appeal

Supa livery on the class 37 and Blue Peter looks great, even better if they applied a tender emblem...

@howardrisby9621 18 дней назад

@@JR-SCOOTIsn't it just?! As a sprog, I followed this loco's story on "The TV Programme of the Same Name". Oddly, I always thought Henry Greenly's RH&D stud resemble Peppercorn's locos more than HNG's, on which they're always said to be based ... but with the 15" gauge pacifics being from two decades earlier, perhaps that ought to be Peppercorn's locos follow Greenly's design cues! The A1 is a superb design and I'm glad there's one to be seen, but have to confess I always find the proportions of the A2/3 more to my taste. Odd? That's me!!

Why does ever Steam Locomotive need a seporrt Coach or Brake Coach behind the tender ??

Is she the same class as Tornado?

@howardrisby9621 18 дней назад

Nope. 60532 is a 'Peppercorn A2'. (Arthur Peppercorn was the LNER's last Chief Mechanical Engineer). In LNER speak, an A2/3 (A2/1 and A2/2 were by Peppercorn's immediate predecessor Thompson). All featured 6'-2" driving wheels, making them suited to 'mixed traffic' duties and hilly routes. Tornado is a 'Peppercorn A1', with 6'-8" driving wheels, a fullblown express passenger loco. I suspect you've picked up on Peppercorn's 'house style'. If you want more/better info, Google 'LNER encyclopedia', which is a treasure trove on the locos built by the LNER and it's antecedents (those which worked after 1923), plus biographies of their designers and some other key personnel.
