Description: Holt Railway Station - Class 03 D2051 (03051) in goods yard Originally produced from 1947 by the Drewry Car Company these locomotives were developed by British Railways and built in BR's workshops at Swindon and Doncaster. They used mechanical transmission with a five speed gearbox and a reverse gear, giving a top speed of 28 mph. 230 were built for shunting and station piloting duties and they were occasionally used for branch freight and finally withdrawn in the late nineties. D2051 was built in 1959 and was initially allocated to Hull (Dairycotes). It was withdrawn in the 1972 while allocated to Colchester and was bought by the Ford Motor Company and ran at Dagenham as No. 7 and then as No. 4. It came to the NNR (North Norfolk Railway) in 2000. The original Holt Station was opened on 1. October, 1884. It was a timber- built structure which had been the original Yarmouth Beach station. This station was replaced by an Eastern & Midlands Railway pavilion type structure in brick two years later which was destroyed by fire in 1926 and replaced in concrete. When in 2000 the station building at Stalham became available it was dismantled and transported to Holt. The new station was opened in time for the 2005 season > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1249150. http://www.mandgn.co.uk/buildings_holtstation.htm
