  1. Johnme101 liked damianrhysmoore's post in the thread North Norfolk Railway General Discussion.

    Didn't they limit the Y14/J15 to 4 coaches plus van after the last overhaul, recgnising that, although she could do 5+ it meant working her destructively hard? The figures on Wikipedia suggest the E4 has slightly less tractive effort than the...

    Following on from @buzby2 post above the tamper (with the resident one) at Norden and Car 14 on a low loader yesterday. Although the angle makes it look like it may have over ridden a set of buffer stops.

    As the only one of the four surviving W&M Railbuses that I haven't travelled on, it will be nice to have a trip on if/when it returns to service. Sent from my moto g85 5G using Tapatalk

    Thank you Alex. It is difficult to see how some of these rumours get out there. I've been involved with the YWR from the start & I can't recall ever ruling steam out. In fact 'bringing steam back to the Wolds' was one of the points (that I)...
