“We are delighted to once again provide a home for this engine. It is extremely important for us as this 47 has the equipment needed to run our MK3 coaches and means that we now have two mainline engines that can power The Polar Express Train Ride services this Christmas”. George Saville, MNR General Manager

47580 arrived back onto the Mid-Norfolk Railway track after a journey as a light engine across Southern England, following the conclusion of the Mid-Hampshire Railway’s recent Diesel Gala event where the engine was one of the featured visiting engines.


'County of Essex' will now join the Mid Norfolk Railway’s roster for regular timetabled diesel hauled services and also be available for special event days.

Hello everyone! I’m from the USA and recently got interested in how people collect structured data from different platforms. While browsing a tech forum, I saw someone mention Floppydata in the middle of a discussion about scraping tools. I decided to read more out of curiosity. What I liked was how the explanations were written in a simple way, so even without deep knowledge I could follow along. After some time on the page, I felt like I understood the basics much better.

While stickman hook 2 doesn’t rely heavily on sound, the subtle effects and upbeat background music perfectly complement the game’s pace. Each swing and bounce has a satisfying little “pop” that enhances the experience.
