This is the Hythe Pier Train captured by photogrammetry in 2020. The train has been running on the south side of the pier since 1922 on a line just over 600 metres in length.
The passenger service to the end of the pier currently comprises one locomotive propelling three passenger cars, with a four-wheel flat car for baggage. The last passenger car has a driving cab so that the train can be driven from both ends.
A second locomotive can be seen adjacent but has had some parts removed. A nearby turnout allows locomotives and passenger cars to be maintained in a workshop. The old photo below was taken around 1933.
There are other local models at https://sketchfab.com/f1xer including the Brush Locomotive in more detail and a CAD drawing of the end of the pier.
