Barry Railways. 26038 & 73118 running. 2861, 44901, 92245 & more
Starting in April 2012 we look at 3 old steam locos before their moves from the old sheds. 2861 to Llangollen in May 2013, 44901 to Sharpness in Dec. 2015 and the boiler of 92245 to be used on 92212. Next we have Tom Clifts' 26038 having some test runs with 73118 before moving to present day for a look at the new developments down at the Waterfront, including three carriages converted into food outlets; opening in April 2021. The loco is now based on the North York Moors Railway and is named Tom Clift 1954-2012

Was very nice seeing a class 26 in South Wales Mike.
Excellent idea using the old coaching stock. Hope it's a great success. Bloody Covid has ruined a lot . As for loco's. Scottish region meets Southern region, in Farkest Wales lol. That 26 is a credit to the restoration guys. Sounded sweet. Also I didnt realise Crewe Electric handled the 73s. The camera mount on the front, looks proper, Over engineered. Nice vid Mike. Hope your keeping well, thanks for upload. 😀👍🐢

I'm keeping well; now I have my 2 kidney stones removed last week !!!
Good stuff! Hope you were commissioned by the Welsh Tourist Board Mike! Looks like it should be a popular visitor attraction this summer. I used to work on Leckwith so it would be good to have an excuse to get back on the patch 🙂

I have many friends in the area; we live within 10 miles of Barry. The old Woodhams Scrap Yard is now a large housing development and more houses are being built along the whole dockside. I show more in one of my future video clips. Thanks for your support once again
That’s a class 26 and not a 25, must be a typo. Great video though, really love the smaller diesels, little workhorses of the railway. Didn’t think they could make a 73 any uglier but they managed it!!

That's the problem being a " one band man" it's hard to spot your own mistakes, thanks
Shame for that steam loco to survive the best part of 50 years and still get scrapped
