 The Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway (RH&DR) is a 15-inch (381 mm) gauge light railway in Kent, England. It is a public railway that runs 13.5 miles (21.7 km) from the Cinque Port town of Hythe via Dymchurch, St. Mary's Bay, New Romney, and Romney Sands to Dungeness, close to Dungeness nuclear power station and Dungeness Lighthouse.

"Hercules" is one of the steam locomotives on the RH&DR. It is a 4-8-2 Mountain-type locomotive and was built in 1927 by Davey Paxman for the RH&DR. The locomotive is notable for its large size compared to the other engines on the railway.

The Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway is a popular tourist attraction, offering scenic rides through the Kent countryside, and it has been operating since the 1920s. If you have specific questions about "Hercules" or the RH&DR, feel free to ask!
