Maid of Kent and Maid of Dorset

 
The engine (currently partly dismantled and lacking a boiler) is a Maid of Kent locomotive, bought in memory of a beloved Kentish grandmother on one side of the family and a family history of making and running model steam engines on the other side.
The Maid of Dorset should be self-evident. (the great-grandaughter of the people above and my granddaughter)

I'm looking forward to the day when the loco is up and running, but new boiler needs to be arranged first and that takes time.

I'd love to see some photos of any locks you have running and which do contain boilers. I also love your little engineer in her little engineer's overall. I can see what there interests her parents have from the name. ;-)
