  • Autumn Gala on the Romney Hythe & Dymchurch Railway
    -
    A short trip to the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway, for the Autumn Gala. Having visited last year for the end of season gala, another trip was irresistible for this year. The Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway runs for just under 14 miles across the flats, shingle and drains of Romney Marsh. Built by Captain Howey and Count Zborowski back in 1927, it is the world's smallest public railway. A few locomotives didn’t feature in the Gala, there were no diesels, no bug, and no Winston Churchill. Visiting the Railway from the Whistlestop Valley, was Sian. Also featuring was a triple header. The weather featured itself heavily, from sunshine and clouds to torrential downpour at Dungeness, shots were taken at:

    Loved the long shot of Northern Chief and Dr Syn. Was afraid there was going to be blood on the tracks, with all the wild life crossing! 😮

    That's a pretty spectacular non-stop run thru New Romney.
    6:26Unusual tender-first working there.

      Thanks, the loco was running tender-first as it was a commuter to Romney Sands, then a non-stopper from Romney Sands to Hythe.

    not common to see tender first operation. wonder why that was?

      The loco was running tender-first as it was a commuter/local train to Romney Sands, then a non-stopper from Romney Sands to Hythe. There is no turntable at Romney Sands. Upon arrival, it runs around at Romney Sands, resulting in it facing forward to fly back to Hythe.
