The Mid Norfolk Railway is to a run a busy Diesel weekend this September from Friday 23rd to Sunday 25th. The weekend will feature some guest Mainline and Heritage engines.
The mainline operating company Direct Rail Services that are active in the region will be supplying either a Class 57/3 or a class 66 locomotive depending on their own operational requirements elsewhere. Also making a visit will be a class 20 locomotive, D8001 (20001) courtesy of the Epping and Ongar Railway.
D8001 will be making its first visit away from the Epping and Ongar Railway and to another railway following three years out of traffic while the engine underwent a refurbishment and painting.
The guest locomotives will be joined by the Mid Norfolk Railway's resident Diesels hauling a two-train service. Coaches in use will consist of a British Railways maroon liveried Mk1 and Mk 2 vacuum braked set and an Ex Greater Anglia Mk 3 set. The railway is planning for class 47s County of Essex and Aldeburgh Festival together with the Class 14 to all be in action.
The Programme will also include an evening ‘Beer Ex’ train, with beer from the Tindall Brewery of Seething, Norfolk, being available on board.
Tickets for the event will be priced at £20 for an adult Rover ticket, A senior Rover is priced at £15 and Children and MNR members at £10. Two day Rover tickets are also available at £30, £25 and £20.
The Rover tickets are also valid for the evening Beer Train. Separate tickets for this service are also available at £10 for Adults and £5 for accompanying children. The MNR has suspended the ‘Kids go Free’ promotion for this event.

The tap-to-run mechanic in speed stars unblocked is deceptively simple. It may look easy at first, but mastering the rhythm and perfecting your start, acceleration, and top speed phases takes serious skill.
That sounds absolutely magical! We did The Polar Express Train Ride last year and had such a great time — the kids are still talking about it. If this Easter show is anything like that, we’re definitely in. Love that it’s interactive and fun for all ages. Can’t wait to see what Twisted Reality Productions has in store this time! ragdoll hit
An evening "Beer Ex" train will also be part of the schedule, and passengers can have beer from the Tindall Brewery in Seething, Norfolk. The video game Smashy Road served as an inspiration for Escape Road Game, in which the protagonist evades capture by means of an automobile pursuit.
