Thank you to all those goods wagons who sacrificed their lives enough to allow nearly all of the steam engines at Barry scrapyard to escape and start a new life somewhere in the country. R.I.P all those brave wagons.

myself and my partner did some research, and MANY of the numbered steam engines you see in this video have either been restored or are on preservation lines waiting to be restored =) the one pictured at 1:46 is a Stania 8F steam engine at the Severn Valley Railway in the UK and myself and my partner have been pulled by her =D just thought you guys should know that the stories continue, and many are happy endings! =P

@Mallard971 The Yard had the contract to dispose of the steam engines from Brtitish rail under the modernisation plan during the '60s when they went to diesel traction. the locos were there until the '80s due to the yard being busy cutting up freight wagons instead-plus the owner may have been a little unwilling to cut them up while there was a chance of selling them complete. as most of them were
