We continue the story of our line's preservation with this image of No.5374.

During the late 1990s and early 2000s the NLR was home to two operational polish TKH 0-6-0 locomotives, No.5374 ('Vanguard') and No. 7646 ('Northampton').

5374 moved on in 2016 and is now based at the Plym Valley Railway in Devon (and has been renamed 'Lord Oliver Brown'). 7646 returned to mainland Europe (Belgium) in 2006.

If you’d like to to be part of the NLR’s story then why not consider volunteering with us? There are roles to suit all interests and abilities. More information is available on our volunteering page at https://nlr.org.uk/volunteering-nlr/

Its National Volunteers Week (1st-7th June), and we’d like to say a huge thank you to all our amazing volunteers at the Northampton & Lamport Railway.

Our Railway is run purely by volunteers and without their wonderful efforts we’d be nothing.

If you’re inspired to consider volunteering at our friendly and growing Railway then please get in touch.

💡Full details are on our website at www.nlr.org.uk

There are many roles available to suit every interest and ability. You only need give as much time as you can afford. It’s a great way to meet new people and learn new skills.
