The North Norfolk Railway has announced that 92203 Black Prince will spend the next two years at a new home.

The BR 9F will spend the next two years at the Bressingham Steam Museum whilst funding and workshop space is made available for the locomotive’s next overhaul.

The locomotive’s journey to Bressingham will take place on the 29th April, allowing the locomotive to feature at the museum’s upcoming Steam Gala which takes place between the 4-6th May 2024.

“This is an excellent arrangement for both the NNR and Bressingham: we need to store Black Prince until workshop space and funding are available for her overhaul and the Steam Museum has room in their standard gauge exhibition hall.

“We anticipate this exciting initiative being the start of a mutually beneficial collaboration between the two organisations”

NNR Interim General Manager, Graham Hukins

“We at Bressingham are delighted and proud that the North Norfolk Railway wish to partner with us to house its iconic 9F loco Black Prince. It will be on show here at Bressingham and we are looking forward to working with North Norfolk on a programme of joint promotions.
All visitors will be welcome and it is pleasing that two East Anglian organisations can work together for the benefit of steam preservation.”

Chair of the trustees at Bressingham Steam Museum, Chris Leah
