The Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway’s 4-8-2 No. 6 "Samson", is making a return visit to the Bure Valley Railway for their 35th Anniversary Gala Weekend on 7th & 8th June 2025, as No. 6 "Samson" was one of two locomotives from the Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway that hauled the offical openning train on the Bure Valley Railway’s opening day as a 15inch gauge railway on the 10th July 1990 and remained with them for the 1990 season until the railway had their own steam locomotives ready then. Whilst the locomotives have returned individually they have never been back to Norfolk together, so this is a very special occasion.
