The GER had plans to build a line from North Walsham to Happisburgh (pronounced Haysboro) on the Norfolk coast, then southeast towards Great Yarmouth.

Unfortunately it never got built but for the purposes of our model, we have assumed it did get built!

Thus, an enthusiast standing on the platform at Happisburgh during our chosen period (1950's - early 1960's) could have enjoyed the specticle of steam and diesel traction together.

A loco hauled London express could well pull out of the station alongside an ageing push-pull unit, or one of those "new" green DMU's, bound for Cromer.
