The Mid Norfolk Railway promised a pair of DRS visitors for the 2007 gala and so we made our way up to Dereham to see 37688 and 57011 along with locos from the resident fleet.

We had a distraction for a few hours caused by 47703 going to Yarmouth and as a result missed seeing the 57 running but when we got back it was parked in the sun at Dereham.

Star of the day for us though was recently returned to service 37688 with it's driver who could spot a camera at two hundred yards, lots of clag and growling!
