In the spring of 1992, we took a self-catering family
holiday in a bungalow at Wells-next-the-Sea. One of the highlights of the week
away was a trip on the North Norfolk Railway between Sheringham and Weybourne.
Built by Holden as a Great
Eastern Railway Class S69 4-6-0, LNER Class B12 No. 8572 became No.
61572 in BR days. Withdrawn in 1961, she is the sole surviving member of her
class.
I was obviously very impressed by her. I don’t think I had
ever taken so many pictures of one engine at one time before. That was still in
my pre-digital age of spool films, when every shot taken was a potentially
precious item.
