Class 31 D5631 stands at Sheringham on the North Norfolk Railway, prior to departure with the 1500 Sheringham to Holt - 21/07/2022.
We had a rather eventful, but nevertheless enjoyable day on the North Norfolk Railway.
Originally, I didn't think we would be able to come here as Lorraine had planned to meet friends near Ely. However, they jumped at the chance to visit the North Norfolk Railway when we suggested we meet here instead.
Therefore, I was really looking forward to a day travelling behind this lovely locomotive & the visiting Class 25 D7659. We parked at Holt & decided to change trains at Weybourne to catch the Class 25 back to Holt. However, when we alighted to change trains at Weybourne, we were told the 'Rat' had a problem & would not be running today. Therefore, we decided to jump back on & continue through to Sheringham.
We then had a run to Weybourne & back on this loco hauled train & the replacement Class 101 DMU, before stopping at Sheringham for lunch.
We caught the DMU to Weybourne, before we returned to Sheringham behind the Class 31. We decided to take this train back to Holt & call it a day. However, there was one final catch. On arrival at Weybourne, we were told the Class 101 DMU had failed at Holt & the crew were trying to get it running again & then limp the stricken train back to Weybourne. The crew did indeed eventually get the DMU going again & it made it back to Weybourne, so we could finally get back to Holt.
It was a shame about the 'Rat', as it was my last chance to see it in action before it returned to Derbyshire, but these things happen with heritage traction & despite the fun & games, we all really enjoyed the day.

My first Flickr upload and the start of my entry to this years Octrainber.
When I first heard the subject for this years competition one loco immediately sprung to mind, the Class 08. I had this on my list of locos to design but had prioritised the Faster locomotives of the East Coast Mainline.
I have fond memories of running an OO Gauge Class 08 in British Rail blue around my bedroom as a kid and often saw one at my local train station (Ipswich).
The model is using ML (#8) wheels and is powered by a medium PU motor reduced 12:20 to give it prototypical running speed and PU battery box. Building the Class 08 in Dark Blue presented it difficulties, especially with the lack of plates/tiles with clips, but I think it has come out well.
