Book excerpt: If it had not been for the scrapyard of Woodham Bros at Barry, in South Wales, the railway preservation movement in the British Isles would have been a fraction of the scale that it is today and a number of steam locomotive classes would have been rendered extinct. The story of Woodham Bros has become part of railway folklore because it tells how 200 steam locomotives were rescued from scrapping as a result of unforeseen circumstances.
