Description
Fond memories of Christmas Specials on the Barry Island Railway back in 2016. Despite a windy winters day I was able to record the steam special
along the full length of the line, from the Island to the Waterfront and return.
I've also included my conversation with Mike Pearce, the locos owner, describing its acquisition and travels with it throughout Europe and the UK
