You say Goodbye and I say Hello

Our newest locomotive will be arriving next month in the form of an Accucraft Sittingbourne & Kemsley Leader 0-4-2ST. The loco will be the third live steamer to join our live steam fleet and will be numbered 3, its name has yet to still be decided.
The locomotive comes with both the balloon stack funnel as shown below and also with the straight stack funnel. After running in it is planned that the loco will be fully lined out.
While we will be saying hello to a new loco, we will also be saying goodbye to an old one. At the same time Leader arrives our LGB Frank S will be leaving for a new home on the Dibden Valley Railway.

Now arriving is.... Spring!

Spring has now sprung in Norfolk. We hope to soon start developing the 2011 extension with more plants and lineside features.
