Barry
A rather sorry looking heavily stripped and rusted Churchward 2-8-0 no 2861 stands in a siding running along the east side of the former 88C Barry Shed in September 2012. The locomotive had been withdrawn from Severn Tunnel Junction by BR almost 50 years earlier. The loco is owned by the Great Western Society and was subsequently moved to Llangollen and dismantled for some parts to be used on other rebuild and new build projects. The frames were then cut and disposed of in mid 2014. The front pony truck, a wheelset, plus axle boxes and ties are to be used on the GWS 4700 2-8-0 and County 4-4-0 projects.
