| 24–25th August Black Prince at the NNR | |||
| 9F 92203 led a fairly
uneventful life during its short eight year carrier for British Railways.
But in 1967 is was bought (along with 75029) by David Shepherd (the renowned
wildlife artist), and has been associated with him ever since. 92203's
three week stay included a visit by The David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation
(including the man himself), and ended with the 9F starring in the NNR's
Steam Gala. During the loco's stay, I was lucky enough to crew the engine
several occasions, and was fireman for David himself, when he drove the
loco on a few (specially organised) trips on Bank Holiday Monday. Also worth a mention is a certain Bentley, once owned by Ivo Peters. It seen below with 92203 (once a former S&D loco), and is the first time they have been seen together in 45 years. |

| 29–30th June Great Eastern Steam Dream | |||
| The NNR's long awaited and much anticipated 'Steam Dream' finally came to fruition on the weekend of 30th June/1st July. The weekend started perfectly in the Friday evening sunshine, as the Great Eastern three took pride of place at Weybourne yard for a 'photo call'. As the sun broke on Saturday morning, a loco shed echoed once again to the magical sound of air pumps and shrieking whistles, for the first time in 44 years. During the weekend trains were hauled by B12 61572, J15 65462 and N7 69621and (Saturday only) 34081 92 Squadron. (It was hoped that 34081 would have been renamed/numbered for the event as 34057 Biggin Hill, but this will now take place at the Steam Gala.) The pictures shown below were taken on Friday and Saturday. I was unable to take pictures on Sunday (when the weather was more favorable) as I was taking my firing test on the J15, thankfully I passed – A weekend when 'Dreams Came True'. | |||
