DAY281: 28/07/2019 it’s @RHDR thread time! My 1st ever visit was on this day having had a lovely weekend camping in East Sussex with friends. We started at #Dungeness behind Hercules #Steam #SteamTrain #TrainTravel #TravelbyTrain
#CoronaAlone #CoronaLockdown

Departure from #Dungeness behind Hercules! It’s situated on a uni-directional loop as we head back towards the beach & the single line section towards Romney Sands via the spring loaded points. #RHDR #Steam #SteamTrain #TrainTravel 🚂 🌊

Past the wonderful #ThePilotInn where you can get cracking fish n chips we chatter across Dungeness past Lydd-on-Sea along the single track section towards Romney Sands. These little engines make a fantastic sound! #Steam #Heritage #Railway 🚂 🌊

Some views out of the train of #Dungeness as we headed north on this glorious sunny day! #Steam #SteamTrain #TravelbyTrain #TrainLife 🚂 🌊 🏖

Here Green Goddess arrives with a southbound train at #RomneySands on the @RHDR. The passing loop here allowing the trains to get past each other on the single track section south of New Romney. Note the token swap. #Steam #Train #TokenSignalling #Heritage #RHDR

With the road clear, we could continue north, crossing one of the many mini level crossings along this line & the lovely little box! #RHDR #Steam #SteamTrain #TrainLife

At the end of the single line section we reached #NewRomney. A lovely little station that is a main line in miniature. I love it! 😍 #RHDR #Steam #TravelbyTrain #TrainTravel

This was as far as we could go that day. Here, Hercules continues north towards Hythe & we see it off. #Steam #Train #RHDR

A look around New Romney on the @RHDR. Essentially a shrunken main line station with 3 through lines, bay platforms, full signalling, turntable & shed. It’s all here! Was great to stick around before going back to #Dungeness #Steam #Train #TrainTravel 🚂 🌊

Here’s the tunnel-like overbridge, signal box, Green Goddess & a lovely set of semaphores. #Trains #Signalling #Steam #RHDR

Finally on the return to Dungeness, our southbound arrival at Romney Sands with our rather American sounding loco! What a cracking afternoon! Highly recommended when you can again! #Steam #SteamTrak. #RHDR #Train #TrainLife #TravelbyTrain #TrainTravel 🚂 🌊
