Story Time with 'Ivor the Engine'

Official Sittingbourne & Kemsley Light Railway Photographs

25th August 2008

Peter Firmin, co-creator of 'Ivor the Engine', visited the Railway to see a narrow gauge 'Ivor' for the first time.

Saturday was a record breaking day with more passengers than last year.

You will notice SOS posters in some of the photos, please see the SOS Campaign collection for more information - we need your help to save the Railway from closure in January 2009.

I took two different cameras today so there will be a delay posting the larger, quality photos as they need processing from the original RAW format.
