## Description

The Barry Scrapyard Story Dvd. The legendary yard of Woodham Bros. at Barry, Glamorgan is truly a remarkable story. It started in 1959 with the arrival of locomotives from Swindon Works for breaking up and until 1968 over three-hundred would assemble from all over Britain. But not all were scrapped, indeed two-hundred and thirteen lingered on and were all eventually purchased by the preservation movement. This heralded one of the most important and influential aspects of British railway preservation. The so-called 'graveyard of steam' at Barry has contributed half of the standard gauge preserved steam fleet and moreover has bought about the 'preservation boom' of the past two decades. This dvd tells the fascinating story of Woodhams Yard. How it all began. Why the locomotives were kept so long and how they were all brought and moved to new homes around Britain. An exclusive interview with Dai Woodham and professional archive film of the yard, together with preservationist's experiences in rebuilding a Barry locomotive, provide and insight into this incredible phenomenom. Approx. 55 minutes.

    Barry Island
  

*by '***' on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 January 2017*

My son wanted this so as I am not into trains very much I will do my best to review. This dvd was a fair bit of money but he loves Barry Island and always goes to the train station that is located a mere stones throw from the beach, the shops and has the fairground opposite. The dvd has lots of interviews explaining the various engines they have rescued and shows plenty of footage of repairs and so on. Barry Island station has special days run by the volunteers where you can pay to ride on the trains that they have revamped. The run is not terribly long and varies in price per special, but it does stop off at the train shed where they do the engines up and you can have a guided tour and ask questions/take pics. Photos of the various engines at the scrapyard etc are passed around for you to look at on the journey and you can chat to the volunteers about the scrapyard etc. The last time we went we rode on the Gatwick Express. We even went for a plate ride in a little coal driven engine that has a top loading section for coal for no extra charge. I think it's called Susan. It's a tiny engine but there were 5 of us inside holding on for dear life so that we didn't accidentally touch anything hot. It was a short run but really fun!! The drivers were friendly as are everyone else.On these days they normally have some stalls with independent sellers for arts and crafts etc etc. U can also look in their war museum which is the smallest I have ever seen!! They also have a little Café. When you go on the special train you are taken to the bottom section of the track which is separate to the normal running station. That's everything I can think of. I hope this info helps anyone who is interested in Barry trains :)
