Narrative:

Climbing through 11;000 ft after departure; the right itt began to rise and flashed amber briefly and then went to red. Thrust was reduced and an audible bang followed by airframe vibration. All other indications were normal. I assumed control of the radios as well as aircraft while the captain began QRH procedures. After complying with the QRH; we declared an emergency and returned to the field. The vibration stopped prior to engine shutdown; so we elected to continue and land without an intentional shutdown. Overweight landing procedures were complied with and we landed without incident. Maintenance was unsure of this; but is obviously looking into possible N2 blade problems.
