Some footage covering the event and the various locomotives on display. Was a great day overall, and was certainly a nice surprise to have Caroline offering rides throughout the day. [MEDIA]

One of our next wagons for overhaul is B573403. This came from Leamington in 1995 and had been in use by Transrail (or Transport for London?)? It is interesting as the sides had the usual cut outs halfway up to prevent being overladen when...

Hi Phil Thanks for that, we will be renumbering #702 as B500067. It was in regular use up to 2022 I believe as it was FTR and Pad Examined in 2021 and 2022 with the other wagons in the running rake. However it was noted as a "Poor Floor" and so...

4150 won’t be given its “Gala Debut” at the Sunmer Event as we’ve got things planned for Autumn for that. I think the plan is to run it on the odd service here and there, but not roster it as such. Ie a very last minute change to the roster,...

When visiting last summer in the dry spell, the 2-10-0 austerity and the gw 2-8-0 tank were running. According to the staff member we spoke to, this was because they were less of a fire risk as they were worked less hard, so threw less sparks....

Johnme101 liked Hicks19862's post in the thread North Norfolk Railway General Discussion.
I had classed the 5 year stay of 80080 as ‘long term’. The NNR statement says that the overhaul of ‘84 could take around 2 years, so there could be a chance of seeing the two types of Standard 4 running together. Who knows, maybe 80080 could...

Over on the Facebooks, 76079's tender has arrived and 80105s boiler is out. No.9 aside, trying to think the last time such a monochromatic lineup was at Aviemore? 1962?
