GWR 0-6-0PT no.9466
9466 at Derham Station on Sunday 17th July in 2011
This was the Mid-Norfolk Railways first Steam Gala and this GWR class 94xx 0-6-0ST has been at the MNR for the last few summers and 9466 was to remain at the MNR for the rest of that summer.
The class 94XX was designed by Hawksworth as a modern version of the 57XX 0-6-0PT. The first ten were built by the Great Western Railway.Then the next 180 were built for BR. This one number 9466, was built in November 1952 by Robert Stephensons and Hawthorns at its Newcastle works for the BR. It was withdrawn in July 1964, and ended up in Barry Scrapyard in March 1965.

The Mid-Norfolk Railway Preservation Trust
It was only around 1995 that The Mid-Norfolk Railway Preservation Trust started to restore this line between Dereham and Wymondham. It now has 17.5 miles of track (11.5 miles is in use) which when its is all in use, will be one of longer preserved railways in the UK. A lot of the other preserved railways had already had a twenty year start when they started.

This website is Ukrailways1970tilltoday.me.uk it is on railways but it is not just on trains but all things railways, with photos, which I have taken from the 1970s till now. I take photos of all things railways, steam diesel and electric trains, signal boxes, wagons any thing that is on the National Rail network, which was BR when I started taking photos.
