The return journey back to Horsted Keynes is hauled by the engine as per your photo.
You will find several pictures of various engineering trains in my collection here >>> http://gallery74781.fotopic.net/c437580_1.html

Small world indeed! The date was Thursday 18th August 2005 if that helps. Is the remaining tip material all to be removed via East Grinstead or will we see a return to these workings via Kingscote?
Some really good & interesting shots on the fotopic site.
