    Nice if wet day at the NNR today. It is their Festival on Rails so they've got a lot of their toys out the box, so got to ride in the both quad arts and the Wisbeach and Upwell carriage for the first time, stunningly restored and maintained. Did the workshops tour, the N2 looked stunning but is out of service with a broken spring which is a complex custom job to replace. Slightly odd having the 4mt on the Victorian set, the train was only about twice as long as the loco, but I'm sure the crew appreciated the amount of protection they had from the rains that finally came.

    This will be a fairly rare opportunity for a complete 19th-century-built formation to run on the line. Whilst often marketed as the Victorian train, it's usually hauled by 20th century locomotives!

    Not often the NNR gets a visitor older than the Y14
