Little locomotive back on the tracks. Is this the oldest engine in service in Britain?

The A1 class Terrier engine "Knowle" was built in 1880. It's thought to be the oldest steam engine currently in service. It has clocked up a million miles by 1929.

Having had a complete overhaul, a 141-year-old locomotive is back in action.

Built in Brighton, and having seen service along the south coast, the engine - called Knowle - is back at the Kent and East Sussex Railway. But not for long. It's spending the summer on the Isle of Wight on loan to the island's steam railway.

Tony Green caught the little terrier engine on its first outing before heading west.
