"The North Norfolk Railway announced the sad news of the death of longtime friend David Shepherd CBE
It is the end of an era. A great man who will forever be credited as one of this country’s greatest pioneers of railway preservation. And in so doing brought pleasure to hundreds of thousands of people.
David first brought his beloved Black Prince to Norfolk over ten years ago. He loved the railway and the staff and volunteers loved him. With the coming of Black Prince came a turning point in the railway fortunes. With David’s support and the immense popularity of both him and the engine visitors came from all over the country to see them.
Built for British Railways in 1959 David bought the engine in 1967, after a sell-out art exhibition in New York. Having owned her for just under fifty years when the time came the North Norfolk Railway became the new custodians. Black Prince will always be known as David Shepherd’s engine and she will welcome visitors to North Norfolk for many years to come, never forgetting that had it not been for David, the country would have been deprived on a wonderful example of British engineering at its best.
Our thoughts are with David’s wife Avril, their four daughters and all their families at this sad time."
