I worked in Sittingbourne Mill summer 69 and the railway was in use, but not a lot. Modernisation was the thing, part of my time was spent humping things about during the computerisation of number 4 machine. So a steam railway was an old fashioned throwback.

The railway was still active when I worked at Kemsley around 1968, 2 types of locos, one conventional fired and the other for use inside the mill was run on stored high pressure  superheated steam which they drew off from fixtures in the mill. Another boozy one for you

That didn't last long .Pete has it , :)


          Sittingbourne and Kemsley Light Railway.


I think its the best value for money along with the Bredgar &Wormshill set up.If you haven't been to either worth a day out after we are released from covid purgatory.


Your turn Pete.
