title A 1940s Steam Weekend, Holt and Sheringham, Norfolk - 18th September 2010 intro Nosher, Isobel and The Boy take The Van over to Holt Railyway station on the North Norfolk Railway for a spot of 1940s nostalgia. Suzanne and Clive are already their with their 1941 Chrysler Royale, and there are loads of trains for The Boy to point at and say "choo choo" a lot. The event is very popular, and the trains are packed with people, most of whom have put the effort in to dress up in various forms of period gear. Each of the stations on the line - Holt, Weybourne and Sheringham - all have different things going on to get off and poke about in (and we even bunk a trip on the second day up to Weybourne), and as a finale Clive picks us up from Weybourne for a great posing trip around Sheringham in the US-Army staff car. Capping off the entire event in great style is a low fly-past by the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight's Lancaster. imgp5243 Fred and Amelia imgp5247 Amelia and Fred are head to head imgp5249 US Army wagons imgp5256 A very shiny black Plymouth imgp5257 One of our heads is missing imgp5258 Isobel spots a cool red mushroom imgp5261 Holt station imgp5268 J15 engine 65462 pulls in to Holt imgp5281 Clive roams around in his genuine USAAF pilot gear imgp5283 Fred points imgp5285 Fred watches the world go by imgp5287 A visit from the army imgp5293 Milling throngs on Sheringham station imgp5298 Isobel, Fred and the 1940s contingent imgp5301 On the platform at Sheringham imgp5305 Clive and Suzanne's friends gather for a photo imgp5306 What would Churchill have enjoyed for tea? imgp5309 Clive gets the ice-cream in Sheringham imgp5312 Isobel and Suzanne on the seafront at Sheringham imgp5314 Clive comes back from the bin imgp5315 Fred points at stuff imgp5316 The slipway at Sheringham imgp5322 Hanging around in Sheringham imgp5326 End-of-the-world skies over the sea at Sheringham imgp5330 Sheringham seafront imgp5332 The shops are all in on the 1940's thing imgp5333 Hospital van outside the Lobster imgp5336 Isobel and Suzanne push babies up the High Street imgp5339 An original Routemaster bus outside the station imgp5341 More 40s action on the platforn imgp5343 The buffet at Sheringham Station imgp5345 Waving a gun around imgp5346 A steam train pulls in imgp5347 Clive and Suzanne with Fred and Amelia imgp5348 30777 Sir Lamiel on the platform imgp5349 A reconstructed bombed French building imgp5351 The Class 777 steam loco 30777 Sir Lamiel imgp5357 The engine driver chats to someone imgp5363 A packed platform imgp5369 Someone takes a photo imgp5373 Piles of vintage luggage imgp5374 A couple of vintage touches imgp5378 On the platform imgp5381 The train despatcher waits imgp5391 Between two trains imgp5395 The train pulls in to Weybourne imgp5407 Clive sticks his head out of the window imgp5415 Holt station comes equipped with actual gas lights imgp5419 Evacuee girls on the platforn imgp5421 Amelia and Isobel imgp5425 Sir Lamiel at Holt imgp5426 Suzanne and Isobel at Holt Station imgp5428 Three red fire buckets imgp5437 A bunch of discarded telegraph poles imgp5444 Clive's mate tests out his search light imgp5447 Fred in the van imgp5452 Fred as a Skelington imgp5459 Fred peers out of Clive and Suzanne's caravan imgp5461 A blue Austin Seven imgp5462 Class J15 65462 at Holt imgp5475 65462 on the platform imgp5477 A load of vintage cars imgp5480 Isobel dresses up in Womens' Land Army gear imgp5482 A song from the USO imgp5483 A nice staff car imgp5486 More singing from the USO imgp5490 A quick stop at Kelling Heath imgp5493 The train at Weybourne imgp5496 Weybourne station imgp5504 Trains pass at Weybourne imgp5507 A crowded station imgp5515 65462 prepares to leave imgp5532 A Dads' Army re-enactment imgp5546 Dads' Army pretends to take away a downed Luftwaffe pilot imgp5558 The Weybourne waiting room imgp5561 Clive gets ice creams imgp5563 A vintage motorcycle imgp5567 GWR 56xx train 5619 pulls out of Weybourne station imgp5572 Some dude takes photos of the steam train with a proper old plate camera imgp5579 The Andrews Sisters, sort of imgp5585 Fred and Isobel imgp5593 Full steam ahead imgp5611 65462 steams out of Weybourne station imgp5614 65462 pulls away from the bridge imgp5616 65462's engine driver imgp5620 Hanging out by a Willy's jeep imgp5622 Land girls on Weybourne station imgp5626 Weybourne signal box imgp5631 The signal box imgp5642 Sir Lamiel steams in from Kelling imgp5655 GWR class 5600 5619 at Weybourne imgp5670 The Stanier Black Five "George Stephenson" imgp5687 Land Girls imgp5695 40s scenes imgp5702 Nosher and Isobel imgp5712 Clive drives us around in the Chrysler Royale imgp5718 A nice old Bristol bus at Sheringham imgp5721 Clive's Chrysler outside Sheringham station imgp5725 Like a 1940s juke box imgp5730 Almost implausibly time-warped photo: steam train and 1941 Chrysler imgp5741 The train heads over a bridge imgp5744 Fred with Silky Sue imgp5750 The BBMF Lancaster flies in imgp5761 A Lancaster bomber flies over low imgp5774 Amelia and Clive
