commuted from Kettering to Wellingborough 6 times a week as a child in the 60s for around 7 yrs Remember the compartments with their fusty smell, the leather straps for raising windows, the substatial brass carrage door handles and of course the steam trains Was onboard one when it locked up on ice and slid straight through the station :) Remember usin tthe footbridge at wellingborough and the underpass in Kettering - I was Always late, always had to rush across to waiting train... ;)
Thanks for the shout, Purple. NVR Fletton Loop repairs are apparently on track (!) I seem to remember from my last visit some years ago that the NVR had a great little museum at Wansford, with history and artifacts re the Northampton - Peterborough line.
Oh how I would loved to have been around when the roundhouse was used. Wonderful photographs of Wellingborough past. Also love the model railways, what gauge are these. Thanks for sharing.
