Great Northern Railway 0-6-2T No. 69523 (1744)

Posted by: Russell Newman on Sep 20, 2024 @ 10:09:19
The future of ex Great Northern Railway (LNER) N2 0-6-2T No. 1744, has been secured following an agreement between the North Norfolk Railway and its owners the Gresley Society that secures the long term future of the oldest operational Gresley built steam locomotive. The agreement should see the locomotive running again in 2025 following its overhaul. No. 1744 last ran in 2018 when it was withdrawn for a heavy overhaul, which was expected to take no more than 3 years. However, the overhaul was hit by the COVID-19 pandemic and increased costs, so although hoped to be completed in 2024, the cost was too great. Under the agreement, Northern Steam Engineering will complete the work on the boiler, before the locomotive moves to the North Norfolk Railway’s Weybourne Workshop for the rest of the work to be completed. The railway has agreed to cover the cost of the work, with the amount being repaid through the operation of the locomotive. It is expected that No. 1744 should return to service on the North Norfolk Railway during the Spring of 2025.
