Grateful thanks go here to: Trish Thompson and MNR Member, Ian McDonald
We are pleased to be hosting our 1940s Weekend Event again for 2024, this time stretching across our whole line between Dereham Station and Wymondham Abbey Halt.
Dereham Station will feature a host of displays (including firepower demonstrations), vehicles, characters and stalls, providing a unique opportunity to explore our history and experience it in person. Our resident Steam locomotive, BR Standard 4MT 80078 will be joined by a guest locomotive, the returning GWR Large Prairie 4144 (Courtesy of Didcot Railway Centre), with both locomotives transporting you back in time along our line. Visit Yaxham station where the British Forces are holding the line, then on to Hardingham which is under occupation, before arriving at Wymondham Abbey Halt where in the neighbouring field there will be displays, entertainment, food and a beer tent.
More information can be found on the event site at www.mnr40sweekend.co.uk
