Woodham's scrapyard on Barry Island


A general view seen in 1966.
Not all of these locomotives escaped the cutter's torch, but most did! At least 213 were rescued for preservation, or to supply parts for others. 45699 'Galatea' was one of the latter but even that has long since been restored and been running on the main network again.
An old scan from a long lost 35mm slide. Best viewed large.
Explored!

Polyrus has replied to William Sutherland clubPolyrus has replied to Pam J clubThis image has made me wonder how many starry eyed rail fans were injured whilst climbing over the cabs of these locos. I never heard of any, but that was in the days before 'Health & Safety' became an issue!
Pam J club has replied to PolyrusCongrats on Explore.

Polyrus has replied to Keith Burton clubI think whoever selects images for Explore must be a trainspotter ;-)
Polyrus has replied to John FitzGerald clubPolyrus has replied to Tractacus clubPolyrus has replied to tiabunna clubI only recall seeing one (maybe 2) Beyer Peacock Garrets and that was around the time the last two were withdrawn in 1957/8. They were generally too big for our railways.
Polyrus has replied to Amelia clubThere are dozens of heritage railways around the UK which run steam hauled trains at weekends and most have a loco or two which came from this scrapyard.
Also there are frequent steam raltours on the main network and listed here: www.uksteam.info/tours/trs16.htm#stdr
Polyrus has replied to Loose_Grip/Pete clubApart from seeing the corroding Spam Cans in later years, my most vivid memory of Barry was combating the wind.
