Nene Valley Railway

Caption Time - June 2008

We are a friendly bunch at the Nene Valley Railway and one thing we do enjoy is a good laugh, especially at each other or indeed at our own expense. For this reason, and in keeping with tradition of our in-house magazine "Nene Steam" and "TPO" website, we offer to you a monthly picture, which you can add your own caption. This is only for fun, so please email us with your captions and we will endeavour to use the wittiest ones. Previous "captions" can be found here.

Send your captions to the webmaster.
