On the Footplate: 'Flying Pig' 43106 on the North Norfolk Railway

Join the Loco Club! http://www.mandgn.co.uk/loco_club

In the summer season of 2011, the North Norfolk Railway was visited by a loco of historical significance to the line: former South Lynn Ivatt Standard 4 43106. Few locomotives can claim a connection with the former M&GN line, but 43106, along with 65462, 70013 and 61572 can. Starting at Weybourne MPD, before following the line from Sheringham to Holt with Driver Mark Middleton and Fireman Jim Redburn, enjoy the view from the footplate with interspersed shots from the lineside.

The Loco Club is the best way to support the locomotives of the Midland & Great Northern Joint Railway Society - these are the stunning LNER B12 8572, J15 7564, Hudswell-Clarke 0-6-0ST Wissington, WD 2-10-0 90775 and Class 31 D5631.

Membership of the Loco Club is obtained through a monthly standing order of £2 a Month or more, and you get to choose which Loco(s) you support. For more information, and to download an application form, visit www.mandgn.co.uk/loco_club

@iantrack "Flying Pigs" were meant to be a Stratford name I believe. "Wells Fargos" were the nickname in the Norwich and Lynn area, along with the simple "4MT".

Superb film. My dad fired these when based at Saltley 21A. He calls them "Doodlebugs".
