# Rolling stock of the Mid-Norfolk Railway

The Mid-Norfolk Railway has a large collection of heritage rolling stock, mostly relating to the post-war British Railways-era, from the 1950s to 1990s. The line holds several rolling-stock accomplishments:
* Owners of the first DMU vehicle to enter preservation.
* First Second Generation DMU used on a heritage railway.
* First complete set of coaches in the blue-grey livery on a heritage line.
* First complete set of coaches in the InterCity Executive livery on a heritage line.
* First heritage railway to operate an air-conditioned Mk2 carriage in service.
* First operational Mk3 carriage on a heritage line.

## Maintenance facilities

The main restoration depot is at Dereham. The three-road shed, built with a £100,000 European Union (EU) grant, has space to accommodate nine standard length coaches, steam or diesel locomotives. Additional secure storage sidings have been built near Kimberley, relating to a main-line contract. With the Mid-Norfolk being connected to the main Breckland secondary main line, the company's maintenance facilities are also employed for the regional Network Rail Rail Head Treatment Train (RHTT) during the autumn period.

## Locomotives and multiple units
### Steam locomotives and shunters

Until 2019 there were no steam locomotives based on the line, with the Mid-Norfolk hiring steam locomotives based on other railways for use during the Summer season and most remaining services utilising diesel traction. Sentinel 4wVBT 9596 "George" and Robert Stephenson & Hawthorns 0-4-0ST 7818 "Castle Donington Power Station No. 2" are stored in the former yard at Yaxham, independently of the MNR. Great Western Railway 0-6-0 PT '9466' was a regular visitor to the line, but wasn't based at Dereham.

| BSC 1 | - | Hunslet 0-6-0 diesel | BSC yellow | Stored | English Electric Stephenson 0-6-0 diesel-hydraulic shunter BSC 1 was built at Vulcan Foundry, Lancashire for the British Steel Corporation (BSC) in 1965, upon completion she was allocated to Corby. During preservation, it is used for engineering trains only as it is not fitted with train brakes. Operated the first train into North Elmham yard since closure. Arrived at the MNR in January 2017 |
| D2063 03063 | Paul A.Mobbs | BR 0-6-0 Class 03 | British Rail Blue | Operational | 03063 was released from Doncaster Work on 14 July 1959 originally as D2063, under Pre-TOPS, and was allocated to the York North (50A). In the July of 1968 the locomotive was fitted with a dual braking system which allowed it to shunt/haul air fitted stock. In February 1974 it was renumbered 03063 under the then new TOPS system. Over the course of its life it was transferred to various depots including Bradford Hammerton Street & Hull Botanic Gardens where it was then withdrawn in November 1987. Upon withdrawal from BR the locomotive was then sold into preservation. The locomotive was then bequeathed to the Mid-Norfolk Railway in 2023 upon the passing of it owner, the late Paul Mobbs. It was moved to the MNR in November 2023. In May 2024, during the Spring Diesel Gala, the locomotive was named 'Paul A. Mobbs' by the MNRPT Chairman, James Oakley, in memory of the former owner. |

## BR Mk1 Carriages

British Railways Mark 1 is the family designation for the first standardised designs of railway carriages built by British Railways from 1951 until 1974. Following nationalisation in 1948, the Mark 1 was intended to be the standard carriage design for use across all lines, incorporating the best features of each of the former companies' designs. It was also designed to be much stronger than previous designs, to provide better protection for passengers in the event of a collision or derailment.

## Former Mid-Norfolk Railway rolling stock

Since the preservation reopening of the line, several items of rolling stock have worked or been based on the Mid-Norfolk Railway, but have since departed. A number of vehicles have also been stripped and partially (or fully) scrapped on the railway. This section details those items (excluding visiting charter and freight locomotives).
Most of the Stadler FLIRT units being delivered to Greater Anglia were stabled on the line prior to entering service, with many of the retired Mk3 coaches also visiting, but these are not included in the records.
