[@James_Trains]

Thanks Toby

[@emmaanderson345]

Good to see her back on the mailing

[@James_Trains]

I know it is I hope to see it on a railtour in the near future

[@SharposWorld]

You had the sunny end at Rowley, I was in the shady part!! That was lovely sound after it passed over the canal bridge at Old Hill.

[@James_Trains]

I know it was great to see blue peters on the mainline and it was good going up the bank slow.

[@jameshigham8450]

I love her whistle

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

That whistle is from South Africa and that’s been fitted to blue Peter which sounds different than tornados

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

I caught blue Peter at Blakedown and this is my first opportunity to see that loco on the mainline for the first time since 2001

[@James_Trains]

Nice. I thought blue peter would get towed by the class 37 and test on the LSL circle tomorrow

Now the test run on the mainline can now commence and hopefully no more wheelslipping incident like it did 30 years ago

[@James_Trains]

It surely won’t do that again
