Mid Norfolk Railway 'Steam Weekend' 28th-30th June

The MNR have released details of the locomotives that will be running during their steam weekend, those being....

Hunslet 'j94' 75008 Swiftsure
Standard 4 tank 80078
6233 Duchess of Sutherland
60009 Union of South Africa

No timetable or fares available yet but link to page here http://www.mnr.org.uk/events/steamweekend

 

Added to the list is A4 60009 Union of South Africa

 

This is looking to be a very good gala weekend

 

Now without the two Pacific's according to their website. Have possibly found two replacements, which would be quite an achievement with the current lack of "spare" locos around.

 

Should be interesting to see what they have.

 

Should be an announcement made today.

Wow! For a last minute visitor that certainly is a good one.

 

Indeed, enjoy the fact that the Q6 is making a trip to the line. It will be a fantastic performer. Shame that it is short notice, as its caught me out and now I can't get there...

 

Please note that it is running as T2 NER 2238 as it celebrated it's 100 years last year.

 

I wonder when or whether we'll hear about what the second visitor will be, unless it's only the Q6, which is still a great visitor itself

 

The cover photo of their Facebook has a TBC Box which suggests they have something lined up
