is one of the 40 442 class diesel-electric locomotives built by A.E. Goodwin Ltd in Sydney
between 1971 and 1973. It was used on main line passenger and goods trains. It was in
Junee frequently, being one of a few of its class to be fitted with a Victorian Railways (V-
Line) radio for working through to Melbourne.

The first of 100 ‘44 class’ main line diesel-electric locomotives built between 1957
and 1967 by A.E. Goodwin Ltd in Sydney. The 44s, more than any other class of
locomotive, brought the end of steam power on main lines in New South Wales.

Having neglected the railway side of the hobby for some time, last weekend saw the chance to combine business with pleasure and encompass the Diesel Gala at the kent & East Sussex Railway.
An early start was made from Stoke on Trent to return a bus to its owner, then the afternoon was spent riding behind heritage Diesel locomotives at the K&ESR. My liking for Paxman engined machines was indulged too by making a one way journey behind a Class 14, then returning behind the Class 17 Clayton seen in the picture. Unfortunately for the railway /loco owners, said Clayton was experiencing substantial coolant loss issues from one power unit which the crew did their best to manage, stopping and shutting down occasionally. Bodiam station's hose pipe was put to good use.
All in all, a most agreeable day on what was probably the best one in the UK so far this year.

Elmfield House is an early 19th Century Grade II Listed building and sits at the north end of the park. overlooking the historic rose garden in full bloom.

Designed by architect Faulkner Brown, construction of The Dome started three years earlier in November 1986. On completion, the cost of the build was £26 million. In October 2023 The Dome was designated a Grade II Listed Building.

Edward Dennis (1847-1923) is regarded as the pioneer of picture postcards in the UK, producing his first one in 1894. ETW Dennis postcards covered very nearly every town and city in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
From 1955 the Dennis postcards began carrying new catalogue numbers: Doncaster Postcards were numbered D.17xx (Standard Size) D.17xxL (Large Continental Size) D.17xxxL (reissue or new photographs of a previous scene).
E.T.W. Dennis & Sons Ltd printworks in Scarborough closed in 2000. The rights to the photographs were bought by John Hinde who has since released a new version of selected images under the E.T.W Dennis / John Hinde name.
