KESR - tram to Eccles-on-Sea - 21.7.2006

21 Jul 2006 290
Eccles-on-Sea is a small community on the Norfolk coast, in an area at serious risk of coastal erosion. I haven't found out any further information about this tram. I don't know if the board leaning against it had more information on it. This was a flying visit, while in the town for an hour or so, on a day when the railway was not operating. There was no motive power about, apart from the pump trollies!

Tenterden Museum - 21.7.2006

21 Jul 2006 1 4 236
The Tenterden Museum is adjacent to the KESR Tenterden Station, Its website is www.tenterdenmuseum.co.uk This looks to me like a tar boiler, or some kind of stationary steam boiler. It has a tow bar on the front and the wheels don't look as if they are driven. The museum's website doesn't seem to mention it, although I only gave it a fairly quick visit. I only made a very quick excursion down Station Road while the rest of the family were heading elsewhere. So I didn't get to look inside this museum!

Running round trains at Tenterden involves shutting the level crossing immediately behind 32678. Just as well there are only five trains each way per day, at the height of the season, but each turn around involves three closures - one as the train arrives - a second, as here, when its engine runs around the train - and finally when the train leaves for stations to Bodiam.
