Yes it has it is on the posters at the NNR!

 

Its not on the website though and it was updated on 3rd August. Posters are obviously designed well before the event to allow printing time. It's not confirmed yet, but is likely to be attending. Up to date info is available on the webpage.

 

Latest news available on the website.

Booked my ticket today & very much looking forward to this as usual. I hope someone has ordered the weather, from what I recall the last 2-3 Gala's have had decent weather.

 

5337 to be dressed up as 45156 for the event, complete with 'Ayrshire Yeomanry' plates and everything.

Maybe someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but is 44767's tender in the yard? Only i recall seeing a lined out, riveted Stanier tender in a recent picture, with no loco attached. There for 44767 after repairs? Would be interesting if it turns out to be part of 5337's costume

 

Yes that is 44767's tender and it's not part of 45337 costume, 44767 is in the shed having major repairs!

 

And where did you here it could take up to 2 years??!! I think you need to check your facts before posting!

 

Not the first time, just on another forum...

 

That's what people have been telling me on the NNR!

 

NNR website has listed 5619 and the J15 as running in recent days, will either be reassigned to the gala roster?

 

5619 was already revealed as running by the gala organiser on facebook. She wasn't originally going to attend but the plans changed.

 

5 confirmed loco's so far:
LNER A1 No.60163 'Tornado'
LNER B12 No. 8572
LMS Black 5 No.45379
LMS Black 5 No.45337 masquerading as No.45156 'Ayrshire Yeomanry'
BR Std. 9F No. 92203 'Black Prince'
Other loco's yet to be confirmed but likely to be LNER J15 No.7564 & GWR 56xx No.5619

Rolling Stock includes: Quad-Art set, a mixture of BR MK1 stock and a goods train with some newly refurbished vehicles.
Obviously these are all subject to availability etc.

Updates available at North Norfolk Railway - Steam Galas

 

The website doesn't list either, that's why i ask. Thanks

 

Just to let everyone know that Tornado will be arriving at the NNR on Monday Bank Hoilday!

 

Black 5 45156 'Ayrshire Yeomanry' arrived at the railway yesterday.

 

But she's been there several months now.... i'd hardly say she's just arrived!

 

Strange that, the nameplates and numbering only arrived in the back of a van yesterday, and were only put on the loco yesterday. The announcement was said with tongue and cheek Kieran.
