- Dai Woodham's Barry Scrapyard from the early 1970's. Over 200 photos set to steam train era music by fireman and musician Dave Goulder. Listen to and and watch this poignant tribute to steam and Dai Woodham.
Forgive the video quality, it was made using SVHS tape to tape 20 years ago.
As a 12 year old, persuaded dad for us to visit Barry in the summer of '73. Dad sent an SAE to Woodhams and had a letter by return, signed by Dai Woodham - 'permission granted, no souvenirs' ! It was truly a remarkable sight and went back a few more times in the 70s. A Britannia enthusiast, Duke of Gloucester was my favorite. Had a few vinyl steam records which included the sound of Edward II and Holland America Line in service. It was eerie to hear them on the record player whilst looking at my Barry photos. H&S wouldn't allow it now so very grateful my parents (and Dai !) would let me spend the day there whilst mum & dad went shopping in Cardiff ! Happy days !
Fun fact, The locomotive that became the HOGWARTS EXPRESS was saved from Barry Scrap Yard .great video.
your serious?

I am an amateur musician and THIS SOUNDTRACK should be on a CD!!! Superb Dave Goulder!! Going in search of the album!!
TRULY SUPERBLY PRODUCED VIDEO PLEASE WATCH!
You have no idea how big a favour you've done us. This is the only place most of dave's songs are availble to hear at all. The albums are out of stock indefinatly/expensive/not availble on the Internet. I am working on trying to give each its own video but this will take a while so Thankyou my friend
Station master 13 I glad you liked it. The DVD is available if you are interested.
Hi Nige i too visited Barry as a teenager. Fantastic !
This was the best playground ever. Many hours spent playing on these steam engines. From an ex Barry boy.
I made it there in the late 70's and enjoyed all be it sadly!!
Little relisting that so many would be saved in the future!
We met the Urei group there which may date our visit?
David and Lily.

You worried about him scrapping all these engines here’s the video about how he didn’t lol
They can Restore and Preserved for a work by 2020's 2030's.
I too have fond memoeies of this place. In trainspotted as a schoolboy in the age of steam, and later after leaving school for Universzity retained my interest after the steam locos were withdrawn; But I had an aunt in Barry I often visited and when I did so went round Woodham's yard and took a note of ther numbers.Nostalgis wasn't a word strong enough. It is mainly due to Barry that so many heritage railways have steam locos to this day. A fitting memorial to Dai Davies the Ocean who built the Barry Railway in the first place,
8:42 The little "Do not take bits or I will get you" made me laugh XD
Most steam trains were saved from that scrapyard
What if there's a e2 somewhere waiting to be found 😯
Nope. All E2s were scrapped in other place than Barry, so no one can preserve them.
Good music score..
If more locomotives from the LNER had went to Barry such as the Gresley A1s and A3s and the Gresley A4s, we might have had more saved.
I worked as a volunteer at the SVR for a few years starting as an engine cleaner! Im an aircraft engineer by trade but been told I can 'fix anything' so got stuck in on locos! WE used to get up at 4am to fire, oil and clean them, and the brake vans were always the bets places to shelter. Break up a huge lump of coal and light the pot belly stove inside and me an my pal used to stay in there all day when raining. At the end of the day we would dispose all the engines, pull the fires out and sleep in a carriage - GLORY DAYS!
Sadly I was too young to go to Barry :((( I would have bought one! Dai Woodham should have been KNIGHTED for saving so many to be rescued by our worthy preservation companies. Most other scrappies Vic Berry, Cashmores etc only wanted to cut them up fast for the money
To many of us you will always be SIR Dai Woodham, OBE RIP steam hero!
Loco Krazy nice picture you conjure up! I too am an aircraft engineer.
The catch is that Dai Woodham was a shrewd business man. He had a vast number of wagons to cut up so the bigger items (Locos) were sidelined. He did have several cut up during the rescue of the others just to show what would happen if the rest were not sold.
@@robhill5578 Dai also cut over 80 steam locos in the 1960s. Mainly GWR types which had copper fireboxes and he'd only paid the tonnage for steel. Dai certainly enjoyed chopping up these locos and cashing in on the copper scap!

Wow this is nice even though I live in the US
Agreed: superb.
5:24 no way you were friends with that music legend
I’m friends with him also. I made produced a video on building dry stone walls with him at his home in Scotland. A most enjoyable time.
The King Must Be King Edward II But What About The Merchant Navy's Name? Also The Diesel (What Class?)
Most likely the D600 class 41

Oh no its Thomas
Good Work Sir
The steam era was a really interesting era, steam locomotives weren't produced like diesels were. When the time comes when diesel is replaced by electric I don't think diesels will be missed the same steam will.
I don't really agree with that. Heritage diesel preservation is quite big in the UK. 40 class 37's and 70 class 08 shunters for example. Bigger numbers than any steam loco class.
@@PreservationEnthusiast I see, there are some diesel locomotives that I have found interesting now such as the GE U50, none are preserved but I still think they look alright. I know you usually see more diesel locomotives in preservation actually run than steam locomotives.
@@prestonsvideos6133 It's a bit of a problem in the UK. Enthusiasts buy up and "preserve" heritage diesels just because they can. But you are right in as much that the general public would prefer to travel on steam. So although there is quite a foamer fanboy interest the general interest isn't there.
Which leads to piles of rusty diesels sitting around in heritage line sidings with little hope or money every to restore them.
Whether the general interest will ever develop, we shall have to wait and see!
CL42 CL35 CL52 CL44,45,46 CL40 CL24,25,26,27 CL31,33 many more ! diesels were different but many many now gone memories nice vlog
I love this
Where can I get the DVD please .
Ahhhhh I played on these locos through the late 70's early 80's thanks for sharing 😢
Thank god most of the trains were saved
The biggest railway crime in history? Btw thanks for the electric train set...so much better NOT.
Yes i went there years ago it was certainly a sad sight seeing all the rústing steam locomotives REST IN PEACE DIA WOODAM
6:13 is the time Dave goulder starts to play if you don't care for the history, your loss
Liz Monroe not sure of the intent of your comment. We love Dave's songs, he is a friend of mine. Hope you enjoy listening and watching!
Nigel Waterhouse I listen to this video to hear Dave's music, seeing as there's a long history before the music I made a timestamp so me and others can skip to his music without having to hopscotch across the video to get to it. wasn't meaning anything against Dave goulder I love him 😅
@@nigelwaterhouse9905 Wow
@@TankEngine75 Dave Goulder is great as are these pictures. My favourite vids and pictures are cutting up steam locos for scrap with gas torches.
@@nigelwaterhouse9905 I really liked hearing one of Dave's songs The Man who put the engine in the chip shop
Thank you for this gem and for sharing it with us. Your railway heart is obviously in the right place. Best regards from Germany!

Excellent, thanks for sharing your collection of memories. What a time you must have had.
Those poor Affable Tanks....
It-it just hurts....
21:36 my favorite BR standard 9F locomotive is scraped 😰😥😭😭
92205 was the only 9F from Barry to be scrapped after the steam ban in 1968. I think it's not him.
The rest of 9Fs were preserved.
Hello from Kansas🇺🇸
Poor Jinties😭😭

Dude stop being insensitive. Like your pfp is of a steam loco what is your issue
@@arbiterofmtringo2345 What is insensitive about recycling an inanimate collection of steel and copper into scrap metal?
