2012 marks the 10th Anniversary year since the Chatham Historic Dockyard first held the 'Medway Festival of Transport'. This year's event was held on Easter Sunday 8th and Monday 9th April and it had a special guest locomotive in the form of 'Andrew Barclay' 0-4-0ST No.8 "Victory" which was a former Dockyard Loco. "Victory" had only just returned to steam following overhaul at the Colne Valley Railway. It joined the Dockyard's other three resident steam and one resident diesel locomotives in demonstrations around the site.
Also at the festival were several Traction-Engines and Steam-Rollers both full-size and minitautre. Several Buses and Vintage Lorries were also on display as well as classic cars. Finally, two steam ships were present in the form of Clyde Puffer VIC 56 and Paddle Steamer "Kingswear Castle" which provided short trips on the River Medway.
