532 Blue Peter update from 1992

[@bassetdad437]

I tended the fire and raised steam through the night before that ceremony at Wilton. I went to my day job after the all night stint and was given my redundancy notice. On Boxing Day I drove Blue Peter on its first fare paying passenger train in preservation.

22-years from 1970 to 1992. 30-years from 1992-2022! Funny thing is time... As a railway enthusiast, I really must get around to seeing Blue Peter, the steam locomotive. I'm kind of wondering if I should start watching the TV program again too, for old time's sake?

0:26 This Famous Locomotive Blue Peter Was Built At Darlington Locomotive Works In Darlington In England In 1948 From The London And North Eastern Railway. Designed By Arthur Henry Peppercorn. Just Like Flying Scotsman Which Is Built At Doncaster South Yorkshire In England In The United Kingdom As Well. Designed By Arthur Henry Peppercorn's Predecessor Sir Nigel Gresley. Thanks Mate. X

Good old blue Peter.

What is it about steam locos that evokes such passion, devotion and love ? Modern trains have nothing on Steam !

[@eliotreader8220]

i am surprised that they did not clean out the ash and clinker from Blue Peter's smoke box

She would have been parked as was at the end of her final run. No point cleaning a loco heading to the scrapyards.

Why not the locomotives’s tender should be replaced with the corridor tender or rebuilt the tender into corridor tender instead after the locomotives have been preserved
