    Marcia's first job on Saturday will probably be to tow a USA Tank up Tenterden Bank.....! Then, if the rumour mill is correct, it will be coupled to a brake van for rides at Tenterden Town station. Possibility of some "rare mileage"??

    I would love to see this working. I remember seeing Quainton's "Flying Bufferbeam" perform on tour years ago.

    Unfortunately I shall have to be at work on both the Sat & Sun (the joys of working in a service industry) so I'll need to wait for the next performance

    A couple of pictures of Marcia's first public outing. With her chime whistle, it sounded like an A4 was coming up the bank!

    Unfortunately I wasn't able to get to the Gala (in hospital) but it's good to know that Marcia is now in working order again.

    Last time I saw her in action must have been 30 years ago at one of the 'Steam at Bodiam' events put on around that period.

    Some earlier photos (1977-81) of mine on Flickr - most at Bodiam but one at Tenterden Town:
