A1x Class locomotive no.32678 seen here with a rake of vintage coaches, waiting at Tenterden railway station.

 

32678 is an A1x 'Terrier' Class 0-6-0 standard gauge steam locomotive. Built by the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway, it first entered service on the 23rd July 1880.

 

Between then and 1923 and the formation of the Southern Railway, the loco had already run almost a million miles!

 

Now owned by the Terrier Trust, the loco operates on the Kent & East Sussex Railway but is currently undergoing restoration.
