The British Railway Variety Pack 2016 ~ Part 2
In this episode we see many test trains, EMU stock moves, Passenger and freight movements around the Bedford area of the Midland Mainline and the Marston Vale branch line. We get a glimpse of the Class 700 Desiro units (Nicknamed Stormtroopers). Although going over the usual stomping grounds I made a special effort to get some new angles. This involved getting permission from land owners. Some little surprises await. After this episode is uploaded I will concentrate my activities a bit more in other areas of the country.
North Norfolk Railway Spring Steam Gala 5th April 2019
The undoubted star of the first day of the North Norfolk Railway 2019 Spring steam gala was their special guest Caledonian Railway no. 419. which made a superb sight as it crossed the beautiful countryside of the railway in the sunshine.
Alongside this was the home fleet which consisted of :-
LNER B12 – 8572 (1928).
GER Y14 0-6-0 – 564 (1912)
BR Standard 4 – 76084 (1957)
Class 7F 2-8-0 No 53809 (1925)
WD 2-10-0 – 90775 ‘The Royal Norfolk Regiment’ (1943)
The filming locations are Kelling Heath, Weybourne, Sheringham Park and Bridges 304 and 303.
It was a busy day with an intensive passenger service making plenty of variety for everyone to enjoy. It was a shame that there were problems in the morning with a cable fault causing delays to the passenger service and a fire at Kelling Heath which meant that trains could only run between Weybourne and Sheringham and as a result of the fire being caused by a fault with 419 this had to be withdrawn for repairs to be ready for the rest of the gala. It was also a shame that 92203 The Black Prince loco is out of service so could not run.
Please check out for details of a great day out for all the family or maybe make a donation to get 92203 back into service soon.
Thanks to all the volunteers at the railway for all their hard work both before and during the event. The locomotives were beautifully turned out and a real credit to all those who work on them.
I hope you have enjoyed watching. If you have feel free to comment, like or subscribe to my channel.

The village taking a taste of North Norfolk to West Africa
16 people from Smallburgh are planning the trip of a lifetime to West Africa - on a double decker bus.
It was the idea of landlady of The Crown Inn, Eunice Kokrasset, who moved from the Ivory Coast three years ago.
She's hoping to give something back to the community which welcomed her, and help the poverty stricken country at the same time.

Standard 2MT 78018 on the NVR 'Winter Warmers'! | 07.01.2017
Having been on loan from the Great Central Railway since November 2016, after returning to traffic in October that year, Standard 2MT 78018 ran on the Nene Valley Railway between Wansford and Peterborough, on the line's 'Santa Specials', throughout December up until Christmas, in which was followed by the annual 'Winter Warmers', in Late-December into early January. Alas, since I film regularly at the NVR, and having worked with 78018 a few times on the GCR, I thought i'd pay a visit to catch some shots of the loco on the railway's Mk1's (having been on the World Lit Continentals over the Xmas season).
Locations in this video include Peterborough Nene Valley, Lynch Straight, Castor & Yarwell. Note in some of the shots, the loco bearing the 'The Small Loco Group' headboard. Also note, all shots were taken with permission from the engine crews, and high visibility clothing was worn at all times.
