66705 'Golden Jubilee' leads train 6T60, the 1255 Brundall - Whitemoor Yard. The train consisted of 2 FEA track panel carriers and about 18 PNA spoil wagons. Due to another engineering block at Brandon, the train had to travel via Stowmarket to run round before heading back to Whitemoor.

Over the weekend, 31235 worked it's first passenger train in over two years. Thanks to the hard work several individuals, the loco was able to star along side DRS's 37038 at the gala weekend. Here, it double heads with sister 31438 past Thuxton on the Mid Norfolk Railway

After a few in the Kings Head, and with a kind tripod loan from Tortoise Enterprises (good on yer Mark!), the beasts that are '438 and '235 sit nice and quiet at Dereham

A bit of an added bonus was 66423, acting as 'Freightliner 66' for the run back down to York.

An hour or so in York allowed for a quick walk about the NRM. It's impossibly dark in that retched tent known as 'The Depot' to afford a phot, so here's the next best non-tour-related hellfire object... 86902 stands at York.
