Yeah, Swale will be your better station, at Kemsley you don't get much warning if at all!

1) Yes, there is only one - 08921 ''Pongo''.

Is that 08 now back there? I remember seeing and photting 08886 there about a year ago. Believe it was there until at least June when I was told by an EWS bloke at Queenborough that the 08 would refuse to shut down and that it was to be sent North to Toton. I thought I read somewhere that a different 08 (not 921) then took over from 886.

Forget which one is there now, but a friend of mine drives it around the steelworks (I think). I know its on Sheppey somewhere!

There's two 0-4-0 shunters there, L127 Bill and L149 Ben. I believe they can both be driven from radio controls, like the EWS 08s that are usually at Sheerness. See here for a photo of the two yellow 0-6-0s. I assume both are still there.
