The Barry List No. 12
£4.95We are pleased to announce the latest edition of our famous Barry List which has become the ‘bible’ for heritage railways who have many of their steam fleet from this once ‘graveyard of steam’. This is the 50th anniversary issue 1973 – 2023.
Since the last edition, the eleventh edition, there have been many changes to the locomotives that escaped from Dai Woodhams’ yard at Barry. More have steamed into further service; many have changed locations; some have been scrapped to make way for new-build projects and dozens have now been withdrawn for overhauls.
‘The Barry List – Twelfth Edition’ details all of the changes up to date in April 2023; full list of locomotives saved from Woodham Brothers at Barry; those of the 213 saved which have steamed so far; where they are all located; those which will never steam again and those which have helped construct new-builds.

Tribute to the Llangollen Railway
£12.95A Tribute to the Llangollen Railway
We look at this extremely picturesque railway in North Wales from footage taken at their gala events from 1987 to 2015, which includes two of the famous Steel, Steam and Stars events. We begin in 1987 with BBC Newscaster of the time, Peter Woods, as he narrates the first ever gala held at the railway. This is followed by further galas in the 1980s and 1990s which saw a whole host of different locomotives visiting the line. Engines such as the J27 from the NYMR and Jinty 3F 7298, 76079, 5572, 4566 and the newly restored ‘Manor’ No. 7822 Foxcote Manor.
As we enter the new millenium, the gala in 2004 brought with it Pannier No. 6430, 7754, 5199 and Hunslet 0-6-0 Jessie. The Autocoach W228W was also a major attraction at this event.
The two Steel, Steam and Stars events had a long line-up of locomotives including – Nos. 41241, 44806 (as 44801), ‘Dukedog’ 9017, ‘B1’ 1306, ‘Royal Scot’ 6100, 5526, 5643, 3440 City of Truro and Scottish entrant 246 Morayshire.
The whole events from 1987 onwards and the extension of the line firstly through to Glyndyfrdwy and then to Carrog and coming soon, to Corwen, illustrate the great potential of this heritage railway. Its stunning scenery and popular tourist location can only enhance its future under the new trust set up for operations.
