Walsingham arrival, 1983
The 10¼in-gauge Wells & Walsingham Light Railway, which uses a stretch of the former Wymondham to Wells-next-the-Sea branch line (closed in 1964) had not been open for long at the time of our holiday visit in August 1983. Its first locomotive, "Pilgrim", built in North Walsham, arrives with a train from Wells. This engine was later sold and much larger articulated locomotives in Beyer-Garratt style are now in use.
The picture was scanned from a Kodak Instamatic snap taken on a cloudy afternoon.

Norfolk Hero at Walsingham Station
The simple platform and limited facilities are evident in this photo, still the journey is very charming and well worth it. The Garrett was built for this line in 1986 after 'Pilgrim' retired to the smaller Wells Railway. Now a successful appeal has meant a new locomotive (to similar design) has been ordered to be named Norfolk Heroine.
