EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a historic moment in the annals of transport history, as Albert, Duke of York (later King George VI), takes the controls of the Northern Chief locomotive for the inaugural passenger run of the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway on 5th August, 1926. The Duke, accompanied by Sir Arthur Steel-Maitland and Sir Arthur Balfour, drove the two-mile track between Jesson Halt and New Romney in Kent, marking the beginning of regular passenger services on this charming narrow-gauge railway. The Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway, a miniature railway, was a labor of love for its creators, who sought to provide an affordable and enjoyable transportation option for locals and visitors alike. The railway's quaint charm and nostalgic appeal continue to attract visitors to this day. The Duke, dressed in a smart suit and hat, can be seen intently focusing on the controls of the steam-powered locomotive, while Sir Arthur Steel-Maitland and Sir Arthur Balfour, both distinguished gentlemen of the time, look on with great interest. The passengers, no doubt excited for their journey on this new railway, are seen waving and smiling from the comfort of their seats. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the 1920s, an era of innovation and progress, when the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway was just beginning to make its mark on the transport landscape. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of steam trains and the sense of adventure they evoke.
