5015 1959-11-21 West Drayton & Yiewsley

Castle 4-6-0 No 5015 Kingswear Castle passes West Drayton & Yiewsley with the 1.15pm Paddington to Weston super Mare express on 21st November 1959.

Peter Kerslake says "5015 "Kingswear Castle" ended its days at Cardiff East Dock depot in April of 1963 as Canton had closed to steam during September of the previous year, its allocation moving across to what was principally a freight locomotive centre.
Constructed in July of 1932 "Kingswear Castle" spent time housed at Wolverhampton in the post war years, but seems to have worked most of its life as a Welsh engine."
