4-8-2 Mountain Class No.5 Hercules departs St Mary's Bay station on the 15" third-scale Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway on 28th March 2019 and builds to line speed.
The loco arrived at the railway on 20th April 1927 and hauled the inaugural train three months later. Hercules was also used as the loco which powered the famous armoured train during the Second World War. The line is known as Kent’s Main Line in Miniature and survived to the present day in no small way due to the efforts of the late Sir William McAlpine?.
