One of the “Barry Ten” it was sold to the Great Western Society at Didcot in 2010, to act as a donor locomotive for the creation of two new locomotives. (The “Barry Ten” were the last unsold locomotives at Woodham Brothers in 1990 when Dai Woodham retired. They were taken on by the Vale of Glamorgan Council where they were stored for another twenty years in scrapyard condition before being sold).
