Seventy years ago, the sale of Chris Lambert's Traction Engine Collection took place at Horsmonden.
This event and the life of the first pioneer of steam preservation will be celebrated at the 2025 Weald of Kent Traction Rally & Country Show, Little Engeham Farm, Woodchurch, Ashford, Kent. TN26 TQY.
Many of the surviving engines will be brought back to Kent in a nostalgic and historic reunion unlikely to be repeated again.
Supported by The Road Locomotive Society where Chris Lambert was a founding member and President and Lambert & Foster Auctioneers who conducted the Lambert Steam Auction in Horsmonden in 1955.
