Cool, must try and get down that weekend.

 

We are waiting for confirmation of one more loco, which I will reveal when done, for the weekend. The timetable will be our usual gala timetable, starting with an 08.06 Sheringham - Holt goods (47406) and 08.26 off each end (Holt 69023, Sheringham 65462) and all the usual bits inbetween. Details of rover tickets are on the railway's website.

Hope to see you there.

 

yes but doesn't stop us speculating in the meantime - is 43106 available? Or just for a change the N2...?

 

I'm assuming from the comment on the website regarding a timetable, nothing is going to be posted online?

Can I ask how you expect the general public to know what time to turn up for?

Must say how much I'm looking forward to seeing 69023 on the railway =].

 

No, it's out of traffic with a damaged cylinder. Not sure on how long it's out for, but a while certainly.

 

Would have thought it will be the same as normal. A timetable will be available before the event but the full working timetable with all the LE movements and freights etc will be for sale on the day

 

It is not 43106, this time, but as I am still awaiting final confirmation I don't want to say just yet.

 

I am hoping that a timetable will be posted on our website, by the end of February. However, if you look at my earlier post you will see what time the first trains are from either end. Trains leave each end of the line at intervals of between 25 - 40 mins, and run until about 1740.

 

Ok, that's good news. My initial question was regard the general public who don't have access to this forum.

 

London Transport Pannier Tank L99, has now been confirmed as our 4th visiting locomotive for the gala weekend, the engine is currently in LT maroon, adding a splash of colour to the Norfolk countryside. The passenger timetable has also been released.
The Quad-Art Coaches will be in traffic, as will a demonstration goods train*. There will be three MK1 coaching sets in operation, including the North Norfolkman dining set.

Looking forward to this event, fingers crossed for some good weather.

 

The North Norfolk Railway's Spring Steam Gala also sees the official launch of "The Loco Club", which is a brand new group supporting the Society's four steam and two diesel locomotives.

I see from the webcam that City of Truro has arrived at Sheringham - can't wait, this week is dragging already - roll on the weekend!!!!

 

Are any of the locos facing Sheringham?

 

City of Truro was facing Sheringham on the webcam. Pannier was facing Holt, as is the home fleet, no sign of the other two guests as yet.

 

Looking forward to this, Saturday only though as I'm hoping to do more Veg clearance on the MNR northern section on the Sunday

 

Joem has now also arrived - faceing smokebox to Holt
