36. NLR footplate experience & 5Z68 ECS-28.05.23

For my birthday earlier in the month, my wife bought me a steam footplate experience from our local heritage line the Northamptonshire and Lamport Railway (NLR). A good time was had on the footplate of its resident Peckett 0-4-0st number 2104 (although it carries the number 4 since its recent overhaul) as it hauled a return service on the line. Later in the afternoon, I took a walk from home to capture the passage of the 5Z68 empty coaching stock move.
