Wonderful to see this really beautiful loco back in action - sincere thanks to all involved in the restoration 💝

Good capture here! Love the drone footage

OMG! the last time I saw Blue Peter was in one of the sheds on the NYMR, and it still had the damaged valve gear rods etc. Glad to see it back!

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

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

[@alsmith5604]

[@doesithaveanengine]

Can't wait to see this in person at somepoint!

[@Jayhsia1215]

Very nice

[@lawrencecant2037]

Hopefully 2024 brings together an A1, A2, A3 and A4 all in the same spot, I wonder which railway could handle the demand?

[@kristoffermangila]

The GCR, maybe?

[@lnerrules-iw6ry]

Maybe the NYMR because the Moors is mainline connected and the GCR Loughborough is not at the moment.

[@johnjephcote7636]

She is my age! ...and much more handsome.

[@jordanlloyd5421]

Does anyone notice that the blue Peter's body is actually an A1 tornado's body?

[@jayyy3_yt295]

It’s because Blue Peter is an A2, both Tornado & Blue Peter are Peppercorn Pacifics A1 & A2

[@Thebigfour1923]

Why she got a kangaroo scraped to the lamp iron

[@peterberry5442]

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?
