1963/09/21, 19. Another rare beast at Bowaters Railway at Sittingbourne was "Monarch", a Bagnall version of the Meyer type articulated 0-4-4-0T, No. 3024/1953. Due to lack of space between the frames above the rear power bogie it had a marine type boiler rather than the conventional deep firebox. It later moved to the Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway for preservation. It is seen here at the Sittingbourne end of the line coupled to a train of bogie wagons. Saturday 21st September 1963.
