The dockyard is one of the only locations in the country to offer an exclusive opportunity for train enthusiasts to get up close to the engines that run on the tracks through the site on the banks of the River Medway.

To complete the line-up of 'transport through the ages', hundreds of proud, classic and vintage vehicle owners will drive to the dockyard to display their restored and preserved vehicles, dating from 1890 to 1989.
