On the east side of Barry railway station stand the remains of 80150, http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1904272 a former British Railways standard class 2-6-4 tank engine. One of more than 200 locomotives formerly at Dai Woodham's Barry scrapyard, the locomotive was acquired by the Mid Hants Railway (also known as the Watercress Line) in May 2010. It will eventually be restored to its former glory by the Mid Hants, in accordance with their objectives of owning a sufficient number of engines to safeguard the long term future of the railway and reduce reliance on hiring locomotives from third parties. The Mid Hants Railway's website states, "All we need now is the missing bits!"
