I too have fond memoeies of this place. In trainspotted as a schoolboy in the age of steam, and later after leaving school for Universzity retained my interest after the steam locos were withdrawn; But I had an aunt in Barry I often visited and when I did so went round Woodham's yard and took a note of ther numbers.Nostalgis wasn't a word strong enough. It is mainly due to Barry that so many heritage railways have steam locos to this day. A fitting memorial to Dai Davies the Ocean who built the Barry Railway in the first place,

As a 12 year old, persuaded dad for us to visit Barry in the summer of '73. Dad sent an SAE to Woodhams and had a letter by return, signed by Dai Woodham - 'permission granted, no souvenirs' ! It was truly a remarkable sight and went back a few more times in the 70s. A Britannia enthusiast, Duke of Gloucester was my favorite. Had a few vinyl steam records which included the sound of Edward II and Holland America Line in service. It was eerie to hear them on the record player whilst looking at my Barry photos. H&S wouldn't allow it now so very grateful my parents (and Dai !) would let me spend the day there whilst mum & dad went shopping in Cardiff ! Happy days !

The steam era was a really interesting era, steam locomotives weren't produced like diesels were. When the time comes when diesel is replaced by electric I don't think diesels will be missed the same steam will.
@PreservationEnthusiast Жыл бұрын
I don't really agree with that. Heritage diesel preservation is quite big in the UK. 40 class 37's and 70 class 08 shunters for example. Bigger numbers than any steam loco class.
@prestonsvideos6133 Жыл бұрын
@@PreservationEnthusiast I see, there are some diesel locomotives that I have found interesting now such as the GE U50, none are preserved but I still think they look alright. I know you usually see more diesel locomotives in preservation actually run than steam locomotives.
@PreservationEnthusiast Жыл бұрын
@@prestonsvideos6133 It's a bit of a problem in the UK. Enthusiasts buy up and "preserve" heritage diesels just because they can. But you are right in as much that the general public would prefer to travel on steam. So although there is quite a foamer fanboy interest the general interest isn't there. Which leads to piles of rusty diesels sitting around in heritage line sidings with little hope or money every to restore them. Whether the general interest will ever develop, we shall have to wait and see!

I worked as a volunteer at the SVR for a few years starting as an engine cleaner! Im an aircraft engineer by trade but been told I can 'fix anything' so got stuck in on locos! WE used to get up at 4am to fire, oil and clean them, and the brake vans were always the bets places to shelter. Break up a huge lump of coal and light the pot belly stove inside and me an my pal used to stay in there all day when raining. At the end of the day we would dispose all the engines, pull the fires out and sleep in a carriage - GLORY DAYS! Sadly I was too young to go to Barry :((( I would have bought one! Dai Woodham should have been KNIGHTED for saving so many to be rescued by our worthy preservation companies. Most other scrappies Vic Berry, Cashmores etc only wanted to cut them up fast for the money To many of us you will always be SIR Dai Woodham, OBE RIP steam hero!

The catch is that Dai Woodham was a shrewd business man. He had a vast number of wagons to cut up so the bigger items (Locos) were sidelined. He did have several cut up during the rescue of the others just to show what would happen if the rest were not sold.

@@robhill5578 Dai also cut over 80 steam locos in the 1960s. Mainly GWR types which had copper fireboxes and he'd only paid the tonnage for steel. Dai certainly enjoyed chopping up these locos and cashing in on the copper scap!
