The 10.5-mile K&ESR, one of the first lines to be opened under the Light Railways Act of 1896, links the jewels of the Weald, Tenterden and Bodiam Castle, passing the Sussex village of Northiam on the way.
Its engineer and general manager, Colonel Holman Fred Stephens, is commemorated in an award-winning museum at Tenterden.
The present-day motive power has a variety of backgrounds. Locomotives with Southern Railway or military backgrounds feature strongly, and all except one are tank locomotives. Carriages range from lovingly restored Victorian wooden carriages to the 1950s.
The flagship service is the 'Wealden Pullman' dining train. All meals are cooked on board and served by the largely volunteer staff in the finest Pullman tradition, maintaining a reminder of a more elegant age.
