North Norfolk Railway General Discussion

Yes, I've seen the "two years initially" period quoted somewhere.

Thanks for confirming the difficulty and expense necessary for the overhaul.

 

I understand the agreement to display Black Prince at Bressingham is a good deal for both parties. Much better to have it there accessible to the public than stored somewhere at Weybourne, possibly outside if there isn't room under cover. Currently the boilers of the B12 and Ring Haw are being overhauled in the shop at Weybourne. The bottom ends of both are being done externally, B12 at Riley's and Ring Haw at The Flour Mill. 76084 looks to be next in line, boiler is separated from the frames at Weybourne and I expect will be going into the shop when space and resource is available. Y14 next in the queue, stored in the shed at Weybourne. So yes, any potential overhaul of the 9F will be after those four at least. 90775's boiler ticket runs to next October, so that'll also be in line for a potential overhaul.
I see in Joint Line that 4277 is going back to Dartmouth in January, having provided much needed service for the past 3 years.

 

The Carriage & Wagon blog has been updated with several vehicles being outshopped including the first preserved Mark 1 and the oldest surviving Thompson coach:
