Who doesn't like a steam train? It might be an age thing but steam was King when I was a boy.
Then in the UK the government employed a guy called Richard Beeching to write a report on reducing the rail network.
But steam lives on at many heritage sites. One of these passes my garden: The Romney Hythe and Dymchurch Railway.
This weekend had guest engines on the tracks pulling the RHDR stock.
I took some pictures over my back fence. In fact I took about 100 on auto on the Nikon, but the best pic is from my phone...
By some fluke. The pics are of the same engine in both directions.
