great central Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I seem to recall on the visits I made in 1969-70 that the wheel had been cut by then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMS2968 Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 Thanks, GC. I was at Barry the weekend after it happened. She had not then been rerailed and was leaning over at a precarious angle, with a cable from the dome to the adjacent track to steady her. The intermediate coupled wheels had already been cut through. I think I started visiting Barry in April - September 1970 but am trying to narrow it down. The date of this incident would help do that. I remember that both S&DJR 2-8-0s were present, and 53808 left in the October. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
great central Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I went twice, back end of 69 and early 70. I should have my notebook somewhere to give exact date. Was quite a trek from Nottingham then, not like now where there's an hourly service Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
