Just a thought, perhaps only slightly off-topic.

If anyone wanted to see a Kriegslok up close and personal, there is one in the yard at the Nene Valley Railway near Peterborough. It doesn't run anymore unfortunately and so is on static display.

Like I said, just a thought....

I'm not sure if it was ever at Bressingham or not, but the loco used to run regularly on the Nene Valley. Must have been an awesome sight. We do at the moment have 377 King Haakon from Bressingham, as City Of Peterborough is in the workshop having its boiler refitted.

King Haakon is great, very easy to fire and generally just a lovely engine. I am there this Sunday preparing it for the special train for the Bressingham guys. Hopefully the weather will be kind.

Oh far too much to ever get it running, new boiler at least which is probably £100k ?!

Complete strip down, just generally too much work, or at least, way too much money.

If you go to www.nvr.org.uk there is a list of all stock running and static.

So far as I know, everything that is there, apart from 1 small tank used to run regularly along the line.

That one looks strange without the smoke deflectors
