Northampton and Lamport

Some photos (not all mine) from a very successful Boughton opening weekend
Huge number of visitors on the Saturday (not sure about the rest of the weekend, as I wasn't there), plus some excellent coverage on ITV Anglia news
Weather was also very kind to boot

 

Impressive work by all concerned!

 

Congratulations. I look forward to visiting you this year.

The Northampton & Lamport Railway has the exciting opportunity to take ownership of a steam locomotive that that spent the entirety of its working life in Northamptonshire.

Known as No.16, this 0-6-0 saddle tank loco was built in 1934 by Hawthorn Leslie (works no.3837) for Stewarts & Lloyds Ltd, specifically to work at Corby Iron and Steel Works, where it stayed its whole working life until withdrawn in 1969.

WE NEED TO RAISE £9,000 TO MAKE THIS DREAM A REALITY and secure No.16's future back in Northamptonshire.
