'Triumph' awaits departure with the 11am train for Kemsley Down. In fact, it left ten minutes early so I had to dive into the Guard's compartment!

Just before the train left, 4wDM Hunslet 'Barton Hall' arrived with a rake of Chattenden & Upnor coaches.

The assistant guard very kindly let me lean out of his compartment to grab this shot down the side of the train.

'Triumph' runs around her train at Kemsley Down, before propelling it into this platform.

This is Milton Creek, just the other side of the security fence at Kemsley Down. It was as if it was a million miles away, as it was so quiet and still.

Aveling & Porter Road Roller No. 14044 was quietly raising steam amongst some classic vehicles.

The overhead pipework dwarfs the loco.

Will the SKLR be around next year to celebrate its 40th year in preservation? I do hope so.

The cab of 'Triumph', it is so much bigger than what I am used to at Amberley!

Although the locos have coal bunkers, the crew tend to shovel the coal from a pile on the fireman's side.

Steam curls around 'Triumph', as she awaits the arrival of 'Melior' from Sittingbourne.

The large shed come workshop of the SKLR can be seen in the background.
