    73082 appears to have an exhaust steam injector. Where did they get that from? I assume it did not survive the stay in Barry.

    According to the Camelot book ("From Barry to the Bluebell") it came from Italian State Railways, cost £1,000 including transport from Italy. It's not clear when that was (to set the price in today's terms) but probably late 1980s or maybe early 1990s.

    I don't know for certain, but I think I'd heard that a further section at the bottom of Freshfield Bank back towards Ketches had been planned.

    So after having locos with black, red, blue, green and yellow liveries, seems the Bluebell have added another one to their palatte...

    It doesn’t have 2 Napier engines or the tendency to catch fire to tempt our friend from Dewsbury away… plus ‘if it’s not in Yorkshire, it’s not bloody worth visiting’ :)

    Not quite correct. We Yorkshire folk have to visit elsewhere simply to confirm that we live in the best place. :)
