Number 9 'Mark Timothy' is privately owned but sees regular service on the Bure Valley Railway that runs from Aylsham to Wroxham. Here it is seen being turned ready to operate the 12.40 departure to Wroxham. The locomotive is a pretty diminutive 15" gauge and was originally built as an oil burner in 1999 being converted to coal after a complete rebuild very early in its life. It has now gone on to be the line's mot economical performer in terms of its consumption of coal.
