Barry Docks
42968 is seen at Woodhams scrapyard on Barry Docks in 1967, and was one of the forty 1933 introduced Stanier 6P5F 2-6-0 mixed traffic locos; which were effectively an updated version, with flat running boards, of the Hughes/Fowler 'Horwich Crabs'. See image 23482. The new version had a higher boiler pressure of 225lb and cylinders of 18' x 28' as compared to the 180 lb and 21' x 26' cylinders of the Crab. 42968 was rescued from Barry and arrived at the Severn Valley Railway in Dec 1973 where it was restored to full main line operation, and has just undergone a further major overhaul to bring it back into service in 2023.
