Channel: Mike Wilcock. Rails in Wales.

Description
Final part of the visit of the Turkish 8f and our ride across to the Island, plus a cab ride in 73118 to collect the 2nd 8f form the old shed down at the Waterfront. This area is now a new retail development, with some old carriages converted to retail units and some into accommodation. At the time I didn't gain any information on the 2nd 8f, so do you know anything about the loco and its destination Finally a clip showing the complete takeover of the old Barry depot by TfW for their FLIRTS. So no more steam at Barry ?
