My son, Oliver, and his friend ,Harry, are both 12 year old boys. They attend Nene Park Academy school and are both extremely passionate about trains. Both boys have had this love from a very young age….they live, sleep and dream trains! Most of their free time is spent watching and photographing the trains, at Orton Mere. They enjoy talking to the friendly volunteers at the station. When they’re at home Harry and Oliver spend time running their Hornby and LGB train sets..

Today (13th March)they heard about the signalbox fire on The Nene Valley Railway. Both boys were mortified to hear this shocking news and can’t understand why some people want to spoil what others enjoy! They want to help put things right! They want to take action by trying to raise as much money as they can to help restore the signal box.
