    Great news regarding 76084, she will be overhauled at Weybourne and spend her next ten years in service on the NNR.

    Over the next few years there could be the possibility of having a steam fleet of the B12, Y14, N2, 80080, 76084 and the saddle tank locomotives. I’d imagine that’s a pretty ideal fleet for the NNR’s needs.

    With the WD going out of service, the 7F having left the line, and the possibility of Black Prince staying on display at Bressingham for the long term, maybe a move to mid-sized and smaller locomotives is the right direction to take.

    I must have missed it, but where’s the 7F gone?

    Where does the assumption that 80080 will be on the NNR long term come from? I can't see it staying on the NNR once its next major overhaul is due, it's owners are Butterley-based and it has been a popular hire engine for other railways too. I wonder, too, what the long term future is for Black Prince? If the NNR management really want a 2-10-0, I'd have thought that a better
    alternative by be to sell 90775 and use the proceeds to rebuild Black Prince. Depending on finances at the time, the NYMR ought to be interested in the WD as another oil firing candidate. That's just my theory, though and I don't suppose anyone, anywhere, shares it!

    80080 will be at the NNR until at least 2030: https://nnrailway.co.uk/portfolio-items/br-standard-4mt-tank-engine-80080/
