We live about 30 mins from the MNR, but it hasn't seemed to be open regularly during the past few years, so we tend to drive the extra 30 mins to the NNR. They do run an excellent annual model railway exhibition, though. Pacers: surely one ride on them and people will never return?! Excellent video that shows the MNR in a very positive light. We'll try and visit again soon. Glad you "stepped away" from the bucket hat! Takes me back, that bus: Butler, Blakey & the clippy whose name a forget. I used to enjoy holping on & off them in London. We were in "Wyndham" just yesterday 😊

Dereham to Wymondham fully open again now with services running on Wednesdays, Saturday and Sundays. Thursdays also during the School holidays.

We had a great time and one thing that makes a good heritage railway is that when you get off the train there is something to see. Unfortunately not all railways have that. No comment on the Pacer! Thanks for watching Rick

@wellchuffedrailways Yeah, someone defined many heritage railways as, "A line from nowhere to nowhere". But not in this case.

The scale of those engines so realistic and the steam generator works😜 Nice day trip, even Bob found a few mates, like it when you sad, your dog come back, ours don't, does that mean the other is a boomerang dog?😂 Anyway fun apart, nice collection of running steamers even for kids, when you look at videos you see them running, but to see these steam beasts live, the smell of coal, oil and steam is something you most experience at first hand. Cheers, Danny

Fantastic video and glad you had a great day out on the Mid Norfolk railway. Wymondham is a lovely town with many attractions and things to do unfortunately on Sundays like most sunday alot of it is closed. Glad you got to see inside the Abbey as station master at Wymondham Abbey ive yet not had chance to pop across the road and have a look but i certainly will. Hope you are well and hope to see you again

oh my ! this sure was a great steam video ! i remember building the Bigging Hill kit from Airfix in the 1960s, when the real think was still roaming the rails ! i think this is one of the best looking steam engines of Britain. Nice to see one of these locos still well kept and alive, thanks. !

In 1937 the NSW leg were wooden body non air-conditioned carriages pulled by a low performance 4-6-0 all far inferior to the Spirit of Progress. NSW leg had some forgettable name.

Is that carriage being restored, or is it a holiday let getting the railway some extra money from people wanting to holiday on a train or, at least, in a carriage?
