Tenterden
in Kent and Bodiam
in East Sussex. The terminus at Bodiam is only

On the Locomotives
pages, you can see photographs of all the locomotives
that have run on the K&ESR in preservation.

The Technical
Area of this site is
devoted to providing technical information for the benefit
of those wishing to learn more about how a steam locomotive
works. This section is constantly growing, why not bookmark
the page so you can check back for more information
at a later date? If there is any specific information
that you would like to see on this site please e-mail
the webmaster
and we'll try to include it for you.
Almost all the Drivers,
Firemen, Guards and Signalmen and most of the other
people who operate our railway are volunteers working
in their spare time. Without them the railway would
not be able to survive.

welcomes new volunteers, why not join us to enjoy a
rewarding hobby and make lots of new friends?
You are assured of a warm and friendly welcome. Full
training is provided for all tasks. Why not check out
