Class A2 60532 “Blue Peter” at Barrow Hill (1)
Sunday 5th April 2009 at Barrow Hill Depot. Frequently associated with the children’s television show of the same name this locomotive was actually named after a race horse which won the 2,000 Guineas and the Epsom Derby in 1939.
Although not clear in this photograph there was smoke coming from the locomotive’s chimney but as it was out of service I suspect this was for show only and was the result of oily rags or something similar being burnt in the smokebox.
