. M&GN in Colour,
is a series of booklets using, for the
first time ever, only colour photographs of The
Midland and Great Northern and Great Northern Joint
Railway in all its guises, including The Norfolk and
Suffolk Joint Railway between Cromer and North
Walsham as well as Great Yarmouth to Lowestoft line. The
photographs range from before the Second World War up to
the early 1980s and show how the Railway looked together
with descriptions of features and equipment that made it
one of the most unique in Britain.
This final volume returns
to the Cross Keys bridge and the lines west of there, then
examines the South Lynn station and its services. This is
followed by a broad sweep over all the eastern half of the
system in its final days.

On
Saturday the 28th February 1959 as a result of a
decision by the British Transport Commission a large
part of the former Midland and Great Northern Joint
Railway was closed. Many people mourned the passing of
their railway
affectionately known as the “Muddle and Go
Nowhere”
February 2009 marked the 50th anniversary of the
line’s closure. So it would seem appropriate that a
celebration should take place to pay tribute to all
those who worked on or were associated with the former
M&GN since its conception in 1893.
An enthusiastic team of North Norfolk Railway
employees and volunteers were determined that this
important milestone should not go unnoticed, and
worked tirelessly to bring about the biggest Gala
event in the railway’s history.
This
DVD features some of the highlights from the 50th
anniversary “That’s Yer Lot” Gala capturing some
of the atmosphere and action from the five-day
spectacular. Adding to the ambiance is the frequent
appearance throughout the film of the two 1950s ex -
Eastern Counties Single Decker buses, LL5G and MW5G.
Also included is the brief visit of 44422 to the
former hub of the M&GN at Melton Constable, along
with a glimpse inside Weybourne shed as preparations
are made for the big event.
Visiting locomotives featured are: LNER B1 1306
Mayflower; BR 4MT 76079, L&Y A Class 1300; LMS 4F
44422; and 2MT 78019. And from the home fleet: LNER
J15 65462, N7 69621 and WD Austerity 2-10-0 90775. All
locos can be seen hauling various stock formations,
including goods in the form of a demolition train. The
lines Gresley Quad-Arts and B1 Mayflower were a
resplendent match. The glorious sight of LNER green
and Gresley teak will be seen again soon at the North
Norfolk when B12 8572 re-enters service later this
year!
