Captain Howey’s Engine
1913-1927
Copy of a photograph of a 4-6-2 locomotive standing outside the engine shed. A well dressed man in a trilby hat appears to be oiling the bearings on the trailing bogie with an oil can with an extremely long spout. It was built in 1913 for Captain JE Howey, later of Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway fame, and named John Anthony. It was nearly destroyed in a collision with Muriel in 1925. However, it ran after overhaul until 1927, when it was dismantled and utilised as part of the new River Mite See D421/D423
