Great to see her back running. I saw this loco years ago on display in a now closed yard, then later running on the main was the first steam locomotive I saw from on the track side at work. A sight I always remember when seeing her in steam.
Great to see 60532 back in steam again. The Cat must've been like "now the steam train has gone it's time for you to put your camera away & pet me human!!"
I was on the train when she blew up leaving Durham that night I was totally gutted, still have one of the ball bearing that was sitting on the ground at the side of the track.
Don't think I started filming until I'd heard the whistle. If I can see the guard on the platform waving his flag or blowing his whistle then I stand a chance of catching the loco whistle.
Always a bit of fun to add something extra in a video. Filmed a cat crossing the main line a few weeks ago when I was up on the footbridge at Kidderminster. Fortunately no trains passing at the time.
Not sure if there is a "proper" station cat, I think the tabby is a regular one, but the black one may live in one of the nearby houses. I filmed the black one from the footbridge a few weeks ago as it crossed the main line tracks. I always try to film the cats if I see them, always very friendly.
Just checked, the one that crossed the tracks was not the black one, it was mostly black but with white patches, this should show it - ruclips.net/video/QbloJ4QnNKg/видео.htmlsi=pY_lF2SItzo6htjN&t=144 It was out of view when the next train came.
@@SharposWorldah right that’s gonna be interesting to see blue Peter standing on display in Kidderminster whilst we watch the three engines attend the Severn Valley Railway spring gala

Oh and I missed the figures so looked again LOL
I was on the footbridge filming Blue Peter again today and couldn't get a close look at them. More editing to be done later!!!
@@SharposWorld Looks like a rat nearest the camera LOL
I thought it was a rabbit but have been told it's a kangaroo. Now busy editing my filming today, from the footbridge, will upload later.@@cedarcam
@@SharposWorld Ah it looks more likely a kangaroo
Seeing that engine pull the sleeper...oh how it could have been....then panning back to the peak.....Heaven.
Great to see her running again
30years ago she was at Bo'ness railway and I got to be in the cab when shunting.
Bet that cab ride was a great experience.
Great video. Blue Peter looks brilliant I am going to see it on loaded test runs on Wednesday.
Thanks James. Weather permitting, I hope to see it again before too long.
I saw her 5 days ago taking flora bubble car dmu along and it’s the first time I get to see her at Kidderminster

I'll always give the cats some fuss - as long as I'm not trying to film a train at the same time. The cats have to learn to be patient!!
@@SharposWorld Same here mate
I was on the train when she blew up leaving Durham that night I was totally gutted, still have one of the ball bearing that was sitting on the ground at the side of the track.
That's going back a few years, at least you've got something to remember it by. Hopefully the testing will go well.
I wonder if she will be around for the Spring Gala either in the shed or out on the rails :) Excellent video regardless
The SVR has confirmed 60532 will be attending the Spring Steam Gala however she will be on static display at Kidderminster
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it, as mentioned in another reply, just static display
The Severn Valley Railway is definitely new for blue Peter she’s never been to the Severn Valley Railway before
First time for everything.
@@SharposWorldyeah
Hoping to see her on the ECML in the future
Looks like Gordon would in real life!
Even the exhaust sounds crisp and new, no catarrh there yet!
Where was the single whistle to indicate I Am Starting Off'?
Don't think I started filming until I'd heard the whistle. If I can see the guard on the platform waving his flag or blowing his whistle then I stand a chance of catching the loco whistle.
The cat was the best part of the video
Yes, they're very friendly.
I hope the reg has been modified to avoid another disaster!
And now for something completely different.
(Cue cat).

Was it the station cat?

Looks like you got a feline friend for life. Nice to see Blue Peter on a test run. Is it possible she might stay for the gala event?
svr.co.uk/event/spring-steam-gala-2/ Just on static display:- "LNER 60532 Blue Peter on static display at Kidderminster."
I always give the cats a bit of fuss.

I don't much care for that random chuffing pump. What is it? Air or water feed pump?
It's a steam driven pump to provide air pressure for the brakes on the more modern coaches. Not as in the old days when it was all vacuum braked stock
Blue Sleeper.
As long as the running tests go well I don't mind what the stock is. The air brake system has to be tested.
Actually they look pretty good together
