THE NNR PROJECT: AN INTRODUCTION


Team Traction

Hello everyone,

today I'm officially launching "The North Norfolk Railway in OO Scale. It will do what it says on the tin, recreating Weybourne Station in OO Scale.

 

For those who don't know, The NNR is a 5 1/2 mile Heritage Railway on the coast of Norfolk, East Anglia. It Has 3 Stations, Sheringham, Weybourne And Holt. Its on the Former branch from Sheringham - Melton Constable and connects to the National Network. It owns a wide selection of Steam Locos, From 0-4-0s to 2-10-0's and is largely supported by the M&GN Society, whom themselves own several locos and rolling stock. I have decided to model Weybourne Station as it is the main "Hub" of the railway, being where the Loco shed and the C&W Department are based.

Really looking forward to seeing this progress! I too am building a model of Weybourne, albeit severely compressed, set between 2010 and 2017. ATM I'm trying to build the demonstration goods set so I can supply details if needed.

 

Regards,

Jamie

Hello there!

 

I look forward to seeing your model of the NNR, and comparing our two takes on the same subject. I'd be happy to do a collaboration with you at some point regarding stock if your interested. 

 

I would love any details you have of the goods fleet. Every piece of information is appreciated!

stay tuned all this week as i will be highlighting a new Project most days. 

 

Regards,

I’ll put full details of the goods fleet on here tomorrow when I’ve got a bit more time. I’ve got hundreds of pictures of Weybourne so if there’s any aspect you need details of I’ll have a look through my collection.

Right, goods stock:

The formation of the rake seems to have changed over the years but these are vehicles which often feature:

BR ex-LMS 20t brake van     This could be made from a Hornby item with a ballast box                                                                 added below the solebar

SR 25t pill box brake van     Bachmann item that just needs the sand boxes taking off each end

BR 12t pipe wagon                Bachmann item with a tarpaulin over the top

LMS 12t tank wagon             Bachmann item reliveried

GWR Fruit D                           Dapol item renumbered

BR 16t mineral wagon         Bachmann renumbered

BR conflat with Bird's Eye container     Bachmann renumbered and container reliveried

GWR Loriot N lowmac         I'm not sure about this vehicle; I've looked at pictures of Loriot Ns                                                    and they look nothing like the vehicle on the NNR. For my version                                                    I'll chop up a Dapol lowmac kit

LMS plate wagon                 Bachmann reliveried

 

Regards,

Jamie

I’ve a spare set of plates for ‘Ring Haw’ you’re welcome to if you can provide the 16” Hunslet to put them on.

 

In a historical context, I might also have a set of ‘Colwyn’ plates.

I would most definitely appreciate a set of nameplates for Ring Haw, the Hunslett is on my wishlist for my Birthday in march. Please DM me whenever possible.
