Hi Folks,
You'll be pleased to know that after an absence of 18 months LNER B12 61572 is back in operation at the North Norfolk Railway.
It has had a thorough bottom end mechanical overhaul that should see it through at least the next 10 - 15 years. It has been repainted into plain BR early '50s Black with early BR crest which it will carry for the remainder of its current bolier certificate (maximum of 2 years). It will then have a boiler overhaul after which it should hopefully reappear in LNER Apple Green .
Update on other NNR based LNER locos:
J15 65462 is fully serviceable.
N7 69621 is out of traffic due to a mechanical problems requiring a new crosshead casting to be manufactured.
Y7 68088's boiler has gone away for repairs and work is underway on the mechanics.
J21 65033 still awaiting launch of fund raising initiatives before any work commences.
WD 2-10-0 90775 (not quite LNER but they did use some) - having flexible roof stays replaced - due back in use by the summer.
