Southern Maid on RHDR c. 1932
Locomotive No.3" Southern Maid" entering Newe Romney Station on the Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway. The locomotive is seen here as delivered to this 15in line in 1927 with its original tender. The majority of locos now have larger tenders fitted for extra water carrying capacity and this enables locomotives so fitted to avoid taking the hard water at Hythe

EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to 1932 with this print of the 'Southern Maid' locomotive on the Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway. As it gracefully enters Newe Romney Station, one can't help but be transported to an era when steam-powered marvels ruled the tracks. This particular image showcases Locomotive No. 3, affectionately known as the 'Southern Maid, ' in its original state as delivered to this narrow gauge railway in 1927. Its petite size and charming design perfectly capture the essence of a bygone era. Notably, most locomotives on this line have since been fitted with larger tenders for increased water carrying capacity, allowing them to bypass the hard water at Hythe. The Ronald Shephard Collection has preserved this remarkable piece of history that now resides within West Sussex Record Office's archives. The attention to detail and clarity of this photograph truly bring alive the romance and nostalgia associated with steam trains. Whether you are a railway enthusiast or simply appreciate vintage charm, this print is sure to captivate your imagination and transport you back in time along the scenic route of Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway.
