60532 Blue Peter, LNER Peppercorn A2

Built at Doncaster Works in 1948 to Arthur Peppercorn's design, No. 60532 worked express passenger trains on the North Eastern Region of British Railways. She is the only Peppercorn A2 left; the other fourteen were all scrapped.

Withdrawn in 1966 and bought for preservation in 1968, she became widely known in the 1970s through a restoration campaign run on the BBC television programme that shares her name, and has appeared on it several times since. The Royal Scot Locomotive and General Trust bought her in 2014, gave her an extensive overhaul at Crewe and returned her to steam in 2024.

Built at Doncaster in March 1948. Sold in October 2014 to the Royal Scot Locomotive & General Trust, moved to Crewe in 2015 and given an overhaul costing around £5 million which included a complete rebuild of locomotive and boiler. It moved under its own power in March 2024 for the first time in 22 years and returned to main-line service, operated under contract by Steam Dreams. No fixed heritage base is recorded for it, so none is claimed here.

No owner or livery is recorded here; the source consulted gives the location and status but not those details.
