90-104 K&ESR No. 24 'William H Austen' rolls through Tenterden Town with a goods train

            Scan of  a slide taken 29/04/90:  Over the years i seem to have specialised in bunker first shots of No. 24 and here is another snap with a lot of bunker dominating the foreground! 

A Brief History of No. 24

No. 24 was built by Hunslet (Works No. 3800 of 1953)  for the Army and was initially stored at Longmoor.   Numbered WD200 and Army 100, the loco saw service at Bicester before transfer back to Longmoor and then moved to Shoeburyness, from where it was purchased in 1971 for use on the K&ESR .  Entering service in 1977, No. 24 was named  'William H. Austen' in honour of the second Managing Director of the K&ESR (sister K&ESR Shoeburynesss Austerity No. 23 carries the name 'Holman F Stephens').  Indeed when I first started to visit the K&ESR in circa 1982, one or other of No. 23 or 24, in their dull green livery, were familar sites at the head of a rake of brown and cream carriages.  Withdrawn in the winter of 1988/9 the loco was overhauled returning to service a year later in a "...striking livery of maroon and yellow and black lining" to quote from Tenterden Terrier No.  50.
