Harry Potter filming train? Choppers, Crompton, Rail Adventure, SMILEVIDEOTRAINS wagon, and more...

Welcome to you all,

On this occasion we visit Ketton with a couple worth while movements both out of the Mid Norfolk Railway.
Firstly we wait for 5z11 which took an age to appear on the signal maps and passed us approx 145 minutes behind schedule, which was actually a bonus as fitted in better to the time we were due here.

The consist is 43468 44021 45001 43480, it is believed the train is full of Movie Filming Equipment, with the Ex Cross Country coaches being used to film from potentially for a Harry Potter Warner Bros Movie or Episodes around Scotland.

The next working we were looking forward to seeing is the Crompton sandwich!
20007 33202 dit and 20205 working 0z33, going to Barrow Hill, collecting Deltic 9 then all off to the NYMR

No. 33202 Dennis G. Robinson
A distinctive member of the “Slim Jim” sub-class of Class 33s, No. 33202 Dennis G. Robinson was built in 1962 by Birmingham Railway Carriage & Wagon Co. to serve the Southern Region of British Rail. With a narrower body design tailored for the restrictive tunnels of the Hastings line, this locomotive is a standout piece of British engineering.

Originally numbered D6587, it has had a varied and colourful career from its early days at Hither Green depot, to working with Fragonset Railways under the name Meteor. Now preserved and operating from the Mid-Norfolk Railway, No. 33202 remains a testament to the reliability and adaptability of its class.
