    Good to see Black Prince arrive this morning and David Shepherd was being photographed by the many onlookers as well as the engine. Think it will be on Look East this evening so if you have satellite look out for BBC One East on your epg if you are outside the eastern counties.

    Anyone know what is coming over the crossing on Sunday evening (26th)?

    Regards,

    Will be 37510 going back to norwich after the diesel gala I would think. It arrives tonight all being well I believe. (although it's currently having its windscreen fixed apparently). The 9F looked a bit strange as the loco is faded black and the borrowed tender is shiny lined out black.

    No I do not currently volunteer
    When I was on holiday last week I managed myself to gain a few images of 92203 working on the NNR Railway...

    Looks a bit strange the 9F with a Black 5 Tender but managed to get 92203 working a Charity Special Charter one evening just outside Weybourne on the Holt Section of the line!

    Still a nice surprise and addition to the North Norfolk Railway!

    It's 'proper' tender is still currently being re-tyred, so the STD 5 is a temporary replacement, but the 'proper' tender will be reunited with it in the near future.

    The tender is from Caprotti Standard 5 73129 matey. It does look strange, I'll have to get down at some point and see it for myself.
