The North Norfolk Railway is pleased to announce that three
engines are due to visit us over the next few months.
 One
engine that has visited us before is GWR
56xx 0-6-2T 6619 which is based on the North
Yorkshire Moors Railway. The engine is due to arrive in
mid July and will operate on the NNR during our summer season
and our Steam Gala,
before departing in mid September.
 Our
second visiting engine has also appeared in Norfolk before.
GWR 4-4-0 3440
City of Truro is based on the Gloucestershire
Warwickshire Railway. This popular engine is scheduled
to be in Norfolk for most of September, including our Steam
Gala.
 The
third locomotive last visited the NNR several years ago and
has just returned to service following an extensive overhaul.
N2 0-6-2T 1744
is based on the Great
Central Railway. This locomotive will be a perfect match
for the Quad-Art set. It is due to visit the railway specifically
for our Steam Gala.
All three of these locos are due to join the home fleet for
our Steam Gala. Details
of this event can be found here
including details of how to book. As usual a discount is available
for advance
bookings.

Work is progressing on the overhaul of B12
4-6-0 61572. This locomotive has now moved to Riley &
Son at Bury where work is taking place to straighten the frames,
whilst work continues on the boiler at Chatham. Meanwhile
WD Austerity 2-10-0
90775 has been withdrawn from traffic. The loco requires
repairs to the firebox which may require a boiler lift. N7
0-6-2T 69621 has returned to the railway facing Sheringham
after its travels to various other railways. This is opening
up a selection of new photographic locations for enthusiasts.
