Well add timings for other attending locomotives on their moves to Ramsgate EMUD, when we have them.
In addition to the listed attending locomotives, there will be fun for the whole family. On site events include:
- 7¼ inch gauge locomotives
- Steam locomotive exhibition (Clan Line presumably)
- RH&DR Locomotive(s)
- Rail vehicle lifting and re-railing demonstration
- Ice creams and snacks, and railway stands and merch.
- Other family related activities that aren’t railway related
