During the 1960's, when British Rail was withdrawing steam locomotives from service, Woodham's scrapyard at Barry, South Wales took delivery of over 200 for cutting up. But, because of other work, cutting did not immediately take start on any large scale. In 1968, after British Rail ended its steam operation, the first rescue from Woodham's scrapyard was achieved when a Midland 0-6-0 left for the Keighley and Worth Valley line. It was the beginning of what has probably become the greatest rescue of our industrial heritage. **** NOT BOOK CLUB **** career. **** A LARGE HEAVY VOLUME OF 1.05 KILO UNPACKED WEIGHT WHICH WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL SHIPPING COST ****
