'Man of Kent'

[Penrice09]

Going down memory lane here but I remember in the late 50's travelling down to Dover on a train or locomotive called 'Man of Kent'.

 

Anyone have any info they could pass on regarding this train or locomotive, what type of loco was it?

 

Is there an 00 gauge model that could be used to represent it?

 

Any replies much appreciated.

One entry on google and here, I suspect, it is -

.....but don't think there ever was a "Kentish Man"

 

Starting from the London side of the River Medway maybe the down train should have been called the "Kentish Man" with the up train starting on the Kent side of the River Medway should have been called the "Man of Kent"....... .....
