We have a variety of industrial diesel locomotives and rolling stock plus one Peckett steam engine currently undergoing it’s 10 year boiler servicing.

We are a community railway offering train rides in a variety of railway vehicles along our line. Our aim is to preserve the ironstone industrial railway heritage of Northamptonshire.

Onsite we have a small Museum, restoration workshop, small cafe with sales items and model railways (00 gauge, 0 gauge indoors and a garden railway outside). There is also a small play area with swings and slides for our smaller visitors.

YEC class 02 D2867 and LMS 20T brake van on duty.
