    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.

    A bit of an extreme step to attract purple fans like @Victor down to the Bluebell…

    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. :)
