Train Driver Experience in Kent

Welcome to the 427 Group

This is the homepage of the 427 group. Our aim is to conserve 427, an ex-army diesel shunter built in 1961. The locomotive is in service at the East Kent Railway Trust (EKR), a heritage railway at Shepherdswell near Dover.  Visit the website and arrange a visit at www.eastkentrailway.co.uk.
