Quick question friends. Are the Kingswear Castle’s engines the oldest still operating in Devon? 116 years old and still going strong! Must surely be one of the oldest still operating in the UK?

Q: What’s BROWN* & STEAMING but is never stuck up its creek without a paddle?
A: The PS Kingswear Castle, obv!
Built 1924, it has similarities to steam locos: so Dartmouth Steam Railway & Riverboat Co. is restoring it for use there. Join me 8:40pm TONIGHT as I investigate for on Times Radio!
