		Comment: This railway is tucked away in the heart of the Kent countryside in a richly wooded area of the North Kent Downs, near the village of Bredgar.
		The railway is privately owned and run by a group of friends, who meet regularly to restore, maintain, construct and operate the track, locomotives, rolling stock and buildings.
		The railway is a legend in itself and is a memorable way to discover the secret of Snowdonia, a land intrinsically rugged and wild, unique in character, culture, history and myth.

	Malden DSME Ltd - News May 1995
		With trains in the blood I had always had a railway of some sort, starting with the clockwork tin plate, then when Triang started up, or Rovex as it used to be, I became the proud owner of a Princess Elizabeth loco and coaches, no doubt a collectors item these days.
		When Triang introduced their TT gauge (3mm scale), it was decided to change to this small gauge and between my brother David and I, we built up quite a large collection, most of which we still have today stored in the loft.
		In between model railways I made a few model aircraft but I got fed up watching them crash after the hard work of building them, so it was in 1962 I decided to build my first live steam loco.

		Chris Bedo of Faversham is one of the volunteers at the railway and he is usually in charge of this particular engine when it is steamed.
		Chris said: “We get to drive the engine about seven times a year when the railway is open to the public and we have an area to ourselves where we can spend the day ambling about between the field and the woods at the other end of the line.

	HLR \| Rolling stock \| Treacle tankers
		But the GWR only had one fairly small tanker in use (see journal entry for 24 August 2004), so it was obviously necessary for the HLR to increase the available tanker capacity.
		The design of the cross-bracing was taken directly from the Bredgar and Wormshill wagon (although that has a steel underframe), rather than from various examples I had of standard gauge practice.
		The double longitudinal braces at each end provide support for the buffer, and its springing (also copied from the Bredgar and Wormshill wagon) which was simulated with a piece of thick soft wire spiralled round a brass rod and affixed directly behind the buffer beam with appropriate steel platework.
