EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historic moment when the "Green Goddess" arrived at New Romney in 1926, marking a significant milestone for the Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway. Designed by renowned Railways Engineer Henry Greenly, this locomotive was one of five pacific locomotives delivered to the railway. Its striking resemblance to the LNER A1 Pacifics, which had made their debut just five years earlier, added to its allure. Crafted with utmost precision and skill by Davey Paxman of Colchester, these locomotives were a testament to engineering excellence. The "Green Goddess" stood out among her counterparts as she gracefully traversed the tracks on her maiden journey.
