“Ramblings from a preserved Railway”

 Welcome to the web site of “Old Arkwright”  

On this site you will find some stories of my first five years on The Nene Valley Railway, and also a link to the “Blog” that I now keep most running days when the station is fully open.

Hopefully you will find something of interest and it may encourage you to perhaps visit the railway and who knows even become a working member.

You may even recognise yourself in one of the blog entries, if you do then you can relax in the knowledge that your visit  has left it’s mark.

However, please note that some marks run deeper than others!!!

 I am pleased to say Orton Mere is open again for 2012, please come and pay us a visit any running day and a few others as well.
