Official Sittingbourne & Kemsley Light Railway Photographs
Centenary Weekend
27th August 2005 to 29th August 2005

Locomotives 'Premier' and 'Leader' celebrated their 100th birthday this year so to mark the occasion one of the most intense services ever devised for the railway was in operation, along with a few extra moves and, of course, our visiting loco 'Chevallier'. I have added two more pictures - Centenarian 'Leader' and 'Superb' in the engine shed at Kemsley Down.
