An interesting and eclectic collection of motive power is seen

in Weybourne yard. Y7 number 985 was built in 1923 by the LNER to an 1888 NER design for work on short coal trains primarily shunting them around collieries and docks of the northeast. For ease of sighting when backing up to wagons notice 985 has no rear bunker having small ones located within the cab itself. 985 was in use until withdrawal came in 1964 after many years of industrial use. Dominating the view is former GER Y14 number 564. It is quite at home here in Norfolk as it spent its entire fifty-one years of operation in East Anglia being based at many different depots. It was withdrawn in 1963 when steam in East Anglia was eliminated whilst acting as a Liverpool Street station pilot. At this point, it had outlived many much more modern designs. Behind the two vintage locomotives is the black hulk of the far more modern 4MT 76084. This Mogul had a working life of a mere ten years from 1957 to 1967. It was constructed with a forty-year operating life span expected by Horwich works. This would have meant that withdrawal would have been anticipated by 1997 only four years before Voyagers arrived on our railway! Hiding behind the three steam locomotives is Type 3 D6732. This dates from 1962 and is in regular operation on the North Norfolk Railway. As 37032 it was variously based around the northeast spending many years at Thornaby.
