Description
On May 7th 2012 the 2 black fives from the Heart of Wales railtour made history as they arrived for a 5 days stabling at the Barry Tourist Railway deport adjacent to Barry station. Nick and I were invited by John Buxton to record the scene for posterity. In heavy rain and strong winds we battled with the elements and bring you a short video of the scene both outside and inside the shed. The last time steam came to Barry directly by rail was in the 1960s
