    No 3 Bodiam and P Class 753 are facing towards Bodiam, 32678 and 14 Charwelton are facing Tenterden. No 3 Bodiam will get turned back the other way at some point so make the most of the chance to photograph her this way round! Th 03 faces towards Bodiam. This weekend should be a really good re-creation of the K&ESR as it would have been before preservation, we're very lucky to have so many of the original locos preserved on the line so we can do this. It's not often we get the chance to run them all on the same day so make the most of it!

    Very grey and mildly moist down in Kent today. Attached a couple of shots from the Kentish gloom.
