Hey all, as you know 60532 Blue Peter suffered a catastrophic wheelslip in the 90s, up until recently there was only 1 known source of footage of this incident. As it turns out there was multiple. Thanks to NELPG. The power of steam is something to never be taken lightly.
@SortaScouse Yeah like, i do have fond memories of watching thomas as a kid, and will occasionally look into things from the show. But overall i keep my other train activities seperate from it
How about the New Build project that started it all, and its soon to be companion?

Hey, Just to state the Obvious..
There are lots of real preservation and newbuild projects in the USA & UK that need YOUR support.
Please Support them instead! To my knowledge, this 'E2 Trust' is not a 501c3!
A small thread ahead of causes that would love your support!
