The ex Bowaters Paper Mills Kerr Stuart & Co. built Brazil Class 0-4-2ST Works No. 926 "Leader", will be leaving the Sittingbourne & Kemsley Light Railway, as it is to relocated to the One:One Collection (Locomotive Storage Ltd.) at Margate in Kent, for safe undercover storage and display there. As the Sittingbourne & Kemsley Light Railway, has limited undercover storage for its locos and as the 1905-built Brazil class locomotive is expected to be out of service for some time, retiring to the seaside is the best option, until such time it can return for overhaul. But in the mean time "Leader" will be reunited with former Bowaters workmate ‘Pioneer the Second’ which is now known as the Bluebell Railway’s former South Eastern & Chatham Railway P Class 0-6-0T No.178 which is also moving to Margate too as well.
