20189 + 20142 having been recently repainted and returned from Severn Valley Railway have come back to Kent to take the Balfour Beatty drain train to Woking.
Looking as if they had just rolled out the factory they gracefully make a racket through Chislehurst recreating a scene that could have easily been taken in the late 60s or 70s.
