6023 at Barry in August 1965 - wheels still intact!

At Barry in July 1966

This fine shot at Barry scrapyard was taken by Howard Hookham in the 1970s

The '6000' on the side of the cab is a red herring, this is clearly 6023 as the rear wheels have been cut, and 6000 was in steam at this time.

"We can't save this one" says the writing on the tender in this 1977 shot - how wrong they were!

Incidentally, a high quality version of this shot can be bought from www.scienceandsocietyprints.com , ref10449700. Photo reproduced here under license.

6023 at Barry Scrapyard

This picture by Lionel A Smith shows 6023 nearing the end of its stay at Barry. All the cladding has been removed in order to dispose of the asbestos lagging that had begun to be revealed as the cladding sheets slipped over the 20 year stay here.

6023's cut wheel

Lionel Smith took this fine shot of the cut rear right driving wheel, with remains on the trackbed below. More of Lionel's work can be found at http://lionels.orpheusweb.co.uk/ RailSteam/RustSteam/BarIndex.html
