The
Club occupies a large site on the Northern Boundary of Lower Delapre
Park which we have held on a long lease from Northampton Borough
Council since 1965. When we first occupied the site it was a boggy
wilderness covered with scrub between the many mature trees. Since then
the drainage has been improved and the undergrowth cleared from much of
the site, though some has been retained as refuge for the abundant wild
life. A large clubhouse, workshop,station building and carriage shed
have been built and two running tracks laid, one elevated for 31/2 inch and 5 inch gauge locomotives and one at ground level for 5 inch and 71/4 inch gauge equipment. We also have a number of full sized LMS goods vans which are used for storage. The Site Map shows the layout of the West end of the site where the facilities are concentrated.
