Great Western Summer Caption: The Great Western came to Norfolk in the Summer with GWR celebrity 3440 City of Truro visiting the NNR.

Return of the tank engine Caption: For a railway that (not many years ago) once relied on (industrial) tank engines for the bulk of its motive power, the NNR had gone almost 12 months without a tank loco in traffic. This gap was finally filled on 4th September when N7 69621 returned to revenue earning service after its 10 yearly overhaul. The loco is seen here in the afternoon sunshine approaching Holt.
