"Doctor Syn" reversing away from the coaling area at New Romney on 6th September 2024

"Green Goddess" seen taking on water at New Romney on the same day. "Doctor Syn" is seen in background.

"Green Goddess" being polished by its driver at Dungeness having encountered heavy rain on the journey from New Romney.

"Winston Churchill" leaving Dungeness station on 1st September 2024.

A going away shot as the train negotiates the balloon loop on Dungeness.

Next train to arrive at Dungeness seen at the balloon loop point with "Northern Chief" in charge...

...and making a fine sight as it passes at 5mph.

About 20 minutes later "Northern Chief" passes again...

...and increases speed on its way to New Romney.

Final day of our holiday finds us at the RHDR again, this time at Hythe where "Northern Chief" is almost ready to depart. 6/9/24.

Later a shot from the train as we leave Dungeness.

We alight at New Romney and I enquire about a peek inside the new loco shed.

Very impressive interior with more room than the old shed.

No 1 "Green Goddess".

No 3 "Southern Maid".

No. 4 "The Bug".

No. 11 "Black Prince"

No. 10 "Dr Syn".

No. 9 "Winston Churchill" enters New Romney station from Dungeness.

End of the day back at Hythe as "Northern Chief" uncouples from train and reverses back to take water.

Final glimpse of the RH&DR this holiday was "J.B.Snell" on the final train of the day to Hythe at Burmarsh Road Crossing
as we return to our cottage for the week in Burmarsh to pack our suitcases. Must return soon!
