Starting up №764, Ruston & Hornsby 165DS class diesel locomotive at Northampton & Lamport Railway

This video was filmed during the delivery of the Hunslet Austerity which was also documented Click this link to see how it all happened • Hunslet Austerity 3193...
№764, a 0-4-0 Ruston & Hornsby 165DS class diesel locomotive, one of a class of 124.
Built in March 1953, the loco was used by the Admiralty RNAD at Bedenham, Bridgemary, near Portsmouth.
It is thought that №764 was originally used on munitions trains as it carried an exhaust spark arrester which has been removed.
№764 was moved to Rail & Track Supplies of Wolverton in December 1975 and arrived at the Northampton & Lamport Railway in November 1983, the first locomotive on the railway, after donation by Rail & Track Supplies Ltd.

    I see Sir Alfred Wood is also at N&L. I nearly had a mishap with that one decades ago at NVR.
