Rolling Stock

BR Mark 1 Coaches

These standard coaches form the majority of the passenger trains on the NNR throughout the year.

British Railways designed and built coaches to a standard design. These 'Mark 1s' eventually formed the mainstay of BR's coaching stock and there are many examples of the various types of coaches in preservation.

Each coach has its own number to enable it to be identified for maintenance and service allocation. Each BR Region was allocated its own stock which was denoted by the letter ahead of the number:
W- Western, E- Eastern, M- Midland, S- Southern, Sc- Scottish, and for a short while the GE- Great Eastern section was valid, until absorbed into the Eastern region.

Mark 1 Coaches on the NNR:

BR Suburban Coaches

These non-corridor coaches are used in Galas and other Special Events.

LNER Mainline Coaches

These wooden-bodied coaches will eventually form a complete train.

Pre-nationalised stock from the LNER, LMS, SR and GWR had a suffix letter similar to that of the Mark 1s. The letter before the number shows the allocation and the letter after the number shows where it was built.

Quad-Art Coaches

These Quad-Articulated coaches are unique. They have recently returned from restoration at Carnforth and are having the finishing touches applied. The four vehicles form Set No. 74.

For more information, visit the dedicated Quad-Arts page on the M&GN Society website.

Vintage Coaches

These wooden-bodied coaches will form part of the vintage train.

Goods Wagons

Some of these vehicles can be found operating on special events as part of our heritage freight train, others are in static use.

Goods wagons were once the lifeblood of the railway, transporting everything from cars to chocolate across the country. 

We sometimes operate a small pick-up goods train (usually at special events), which shows what a local freight train would look like, and one which would be familiar to the North Norfolk Railway up until closure, wagons marked "In service" usually form part of our goods train. 

Please be aware that a number of our wagons are not available for service, and are in use as storage facilities. Others are on display in the goods yard at Holt, or the bay platform at Weybourne.
