Today was the Santa Paws event at the Northampton & Lamport Railway where dogs (& cats) got a train ride & met Santa for a present. 31289 was providing the traction all day, seen here leaving Boughton, & yes #SummerTheDog was there along with a couple of her furry friends 🐾🐾 #NLR #SantaPaws 29/11/25
A round up of shots from the excellent Northampton & Lamport Railway #Railway200 gala at the weekend. 31601 & 31289 on freight workings after top & tailing the 1st passenger train of the day from Pitsford & Brampton to Boughton. #SummerTheDog wasn't being very cooperative for pics! #NLR 21/9/25

#TongueOutTuesday #SummerTheDog takes a breather at Boughton during our lineside walk on Sunday morning when the Northampton & Lamport Railway were running their #DoubleDieselDay with 31601 & 31289. We were getting our walk in before the temperature got too high. #NLR #GRC #GoldenRetriever 13/7/25

A 'V' pattern of exhaust rising from the roof of a blue class 31 diesel just after it has been started up from cold. It is stabled in the passing loop at Pitsford and Brampton station.
#StartUpSunday walking along the Brampton Valley Way footpath alongside the Northampton & Lamport Railway with #SummerTheDog earlier today just as 31289 'Phoenix' was started up. Missed the initial clagfest but managed to catch some exhaust plumes as the V12 kicked noisily into life! #NLR 4/5/25
#SemaphoreSunday This afternoon #SummerTheDog & myself made a short visit to the Northampton & Lamport Railway as she tries to get closer to clearing 31601 for 1000 miles..😂 After our trip on the 14.00 service we stayed to watch the 15.00 departure from Pitsford & Brampton, seen here. #NLR 4/5/25

Myself & #SummerTheDog spent a very enjoyable time at Northampton & Lamport Railway this afternoon. Saw @bennybizzle1.bsky.social & had a ride behind 31601 on the push-pull set & 289 on the brake van. Here 'Devon Diesel Society' departs from Pitsford & Brampton with the 15.00 service #NLR 13/4/25
#SummerTheDog had some gen this morning on the old dog & bone saying that the Northampton & Lamport Railway #SantaExpress would be diesel hauled! She was obviously very excited at the prospect of some fine English Electric thrash so patiently waited at the railway for a glimpse.. #WeekendSmiles 1/2

#SummerTheDog is enjoying the strong wind this morning as it blows her magnificent tail around 😍🐾🐾

The perfect way to start a weekend with two of my favourite things* #SummerTheDog & fresh coffee, in this case Sidama Ethiopian beans from my regular supplier, No.13 Coffee Roasters of Kettering.
*(my kids not included in that as i don't tend to post them on public socials 😉😂)
Golden retriever content as promised in my bio.. #SummerTheDog (with best friend #PoloTheCat) it's a hard life being a mad Golden.. #GRC
