## About This Content
Master the controls of the last surviving Peppercorn A2 Class locomotive,
_Blue Peter_ , and return this famous locomotive to the rails in Train
Simulator.

The Arthur Peppercorn designed A2 Class locomotive is the sole survivor of the
15 locomotives in the class, built at Doncaster Works between 1947 and 1948.
The design was a move towards modernity, with features such as a self-cleaning
smokebox and electric lighting prominent in the out-shopped locomotives.

The class was designed for express passenger work and all locomotives were
initially turned out in LNER’s apple green livery, with repainting into
British Railways’ Brunswick green livery beginning in 1949.

With the exception of the first A2 Class to enter service, all locomotive
names followed LNER’s tradition of using famous racehorse names – _Blue Peter
III_ was a racehorse owned by Harry Primrose, 6th Earl of Roseberry, which in
1939 won races including the Epsom Derby and the 2000 Guineas.

_Blue Peter_ served on the mainline until 31 December 1966, two years before
the end of British steam, and put into storage. However, in 1968 the
locomotive was purchased by enthusiast Geoff Drury and a campaign for its
restoration was launched on the famous British children ‘s television
programme and locomotive-namesake _Blue Peter_.

The locomotive is now owned by the Royal Scot Locomotive and General Trust and
awaiting restoration and renewal of its mainline boiler certificate at the
famous Barrow Hill Roundhouse in Derbyshire, before returning back to mainline
standard.

The Peppercorn Class A2 _Blue Peter_ for Train Simulator recreates the famous
locomotive in its current Brunswick Green livery with British Railways on the
tender sides and blue-faced nameplates, as it ran between 1996 and 2001. As a
preserved locomotive in the modern era, the locomotive is fitted with modern
safety systems such as AWS, and also comes with BR Mk1 coaches with passenger
view.

The locomotive is also Quick Drive compatible, giving you the freedom to drive
the LNER Peppercorn Class A2 _Blue Peter_ on any Quick Drive enabled route for
Train Simulator, such as those available through Steam. Also included are
scenarios specifically for the East Coast Main Line: London-Peterborough route
