Northampton's Three Family Railways

Here is a video that I have been saving for a raining day.
On the 11th June 2023, Ryan Mg and I decided to visit three railways that you can visit within Northampton.
First up is Northampton and Lamport Railway. Anthony Parr (Steam Crew and Classic Vehicle enthusiast) has arranged the first Classic Car & Bike for N.L.R. We see Phoenix Diesel Locomotive start up ready to take passengers up and down the line before we viewed the last remaining part of the new Broughton station platform being laid.

Up next was a 10 minute drive further into Northampton to Visit Northampton Ironstone Railway Trust (N.I.R.T at Hunsbury Hill. I last visited in January and I wanted to see the progression taken place since then. The Garden is looking fantastic, along with the carriages along side (Massive transformation). The rail yard looks clutter free and most importantly we wanted to view a new arrive to the fleet. A Class 02 Shunter.

Last but not least, we visit Northampton Society of Model Engineers. A miniature model railway hidden within a corner of the historic Delepre Abbey grounds. Sadly we visited on a non running day but it was the perfect opportunity to run the camera around the area, which I have to say is kept like a secret garden, maintained beautiful by the lovely volunteers. There was a Black 5 steam loco running around the track with kept us entertained.
