Description
English: Train on the North Norfolk Railway. Train heading from Holt towards Kelling and on to Weybourne from there. Here it approaches Windpump crossing in Kelling Heath > 1249363 and the engine driver will soon sound the whistle to signal his train's approach > 1252856. The train is hauled by a WD 2-10-0 90775, designed by R.A. Riddles and purchased by the Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway Society in 2006. The locomotive was built in 1943, the third in the first batch of 100 built by North British Locomotive Co. Glasgow as works no. 25438. It once had the name 'Sturdee' and was numbered 3652 by the Ministry of Supply and later, after shipping abroad, was renumbered as WD73652. Originally shipped to the Middle East it ended up in Egypt where it worked until 1945 and then was sold to to Hellenic State Railways (SEK) along with 15 sister locos. Having been displaced by new diesels in 1976, it was relegated to secondary work and finally withdrawn from service in 1979. the locomotive was repatriated to the UK in August 1984.
