    Will confirmed it had been steam tested - twice - with no issues and an earlier return traffic was now envisaged.

    A great day out with 7029, a shame it didn't make it up the Valley but good to see it on the turntable at Kiddy. For the return up Old Hill, 7029 produced a sure footed climb with just the one audible slip. Very much a cautious climb given the...

    4150 seems a very appropriate choice for a train celebrating volunteers given the many hours that have gone into her restoration. Also you now have one of the first locos to enter preservation (7029) and the latest to return to steam (4150).

    There's probably not many steam locomotives out there that can take 14 coaches out in leaf fall season! 35028 providing an excellent soundtrack on the climbs through Ravensbourne and Dover, with a final passing shot at Knockholt: [MEDIA]
