I wonder who had the "eurika" moment to propose an occasional use crossing rather than the various complicated expensive proposals for a full crossing.
That person deserves a pat on the back as the crossing is just weeks away and despite its operational limitations its significance is enormous and may lead to a fully operational crossing one day |

A pat on the back, then a pint in the hand.

Well Done to everybody involved in getting Ring Haw back in steam. I have some photo's of this loco taken at Weybourne somewhere and must get them on here.
Re the level crossing going in, I WILL be planning a visit sometime in 2009 to see this, plus introduce myself to any members of this forum who are also visiting on the day I get there and more than likely a Saturday.

I had a go in Ring Haw before the boiler ticket was passed when she was under test in the yard - a lovely bit of kit and can be very easily operated by one person due to the brake and reg placement. Firing is a bit of an art, or so I've heard. Should be having a go in the new year, should be fun!

I have also heard that the trains from Norwich will be using Platform 2, but only after the track has been realigned by some 9 inches, to allow the crossing to be 'Installed' and line up with it.

This was the original plan but i have a feeling they were intending on using platform 3?
I think this has now changed, and Norwich - Sheringham services wont be using the NNR Sheringham station, and will remain using the present modern one. This is mainly due to the fact that the crossing can only be used 12 times a year. Plus i also have a feeling some members of staff at the NNR wanted to keep modern and heritage seperate.
