liner33 Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 When I was a kid they used to have loads of them in Barry , South Wales. Many were scrapped but also many have been rescued and restored http://www.penmorfa.com/Barry/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted June 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 Wow what a find, have you been involved with this arena. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liner33 Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 No not at all but my grandfather loved the old trains and I remember him talking about it as we passed . I guess I was about 7 or 8 . My wife's father was a fireman on steam trains in the 1960s but he died before we got married Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted June 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 Sad he died but what a wonderful life he must have..... Obviously if he was on the coals feeding the boiler was nothing other than torcher but a great memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
