THE North Norfolk Railway has turned its June 15-17 spring diesel gala into a mixed traffic event because of a shortage of locomotives.
Its class Class 03, 31 and 37 locomotives are still undergoing major overhauls.
However, its special guest will be the Bury Hydraulic Group’s 1961-built Warship D832 Onslaught.
