Phil Sutters' photos with the keyword: Kent & East Sussex Railway

The nearest two carriages are from the South East & Chatham Railway. The remainder may be, but I don't have a close-up photo to verify that. I often think that carriages and goods stock appear to be the poor relations, when it comes to preserved railways. In fact they are very often absolute gems and perhaps offer more insight into social and economic history than the locos do.

Running round trains at Tenterden involves shutting the level crossing immediately behind 32678. Just as well there are only five trains each way per day, at the height of the season, but each turn around involves three closures - one as the train arrives - a second, as here, when its engine runs around the train - and finally when the train leaves for stations to Bodiam.

Having been uncoupled, 32678 pulls away to run round its train.

A cropped down long shot, really just to show the token exchange.

The Tenterden Museum is adjacent to the KESR Tenterden Station, Its website is www.tenterdenmuseum.co.uk This looks to me like a tar boiler, or some kind of stationary steam boiler. It has a tow bar on the front and the wheels don't look as if they are driven. The museum's website doesn't seem to mention it, although I only gave it a fairly quick visit. I only made a very quick excursion down Station Road while the rest of the family were heading elsewhere. So I didn't get to look inside this museum!

Eccles-on-Sea is a small community on the Norfolk coast, in an area at serious risk of coastal erosion. I haven't found out any further information about this tram. I don't know if the board leaning against it had more information on it. This was a flying visit, while in the town for an hour or so, on a day when the railway was not operating. There was no motive power about, apart from the pump trollies!
