Locomotive "Cambrai"
"Cambrai" is a French 0-6-0 tank engine of metre gauge, fitted with outside
Allen straight-link valve gear, which worked in the Ironstone fields of Northamptonshire.
It was built in 1888 by L. Corpet & Cie. of Paris (works no. 493) for the
Chemin de Fer du Cambresis. In 1936 it was purchased by the Loddington Ironstone
Company Ltd, later moved to Waltham Ironstone Quarries at Eaton near Melton
Mowbray in 1956, and was presented to the museum in 1960. Cambrai is currently
at the Irchester Narrow Gauge Railway.
