Seems to remember this from the other GTP. But that's all I remember!
Has it a connection to a well known figure?

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
