It's really exciting that the replica loco is up and running.
Thanks for sharing, very enjoyable and I need to visit to see Blyth.
Thanks for your comments. Yes its well worth a visit and they need all the help they can get.
That dark blue and red looks great on Blyth, it reminds me of the Kent and East Sussex Railway's livery during their commercial years before 1948.
Yes it’s a lovely engine and they are very proud of it.
@@nutmeg5032 They have every right to be.

Thanks, that was the easy bit now I've got to find and walk 8 3/4 miles of old railway track.
Very interesting place and a lovely video ps I think you know my dad ex nine elms driver and Wimbledon Park driver Bernie tipping 👍
Thank you. I can`t place the name but I was an instructor at Waterloo for 6 years so might well have met him on one of the many courses I conducted.
