In 2018 ‘Wightwick Hall’ became the 150th steam locomotive to have been restored to operational condition after being rescued from Dai Woodham’s famous Barry Scrap Yard in South Wales. This was the culmination of a 41 year restoration by the 6989 Restoration Group.
Arriving on loan to the Bluebell Railway on 23 June 2022, and initially expected to stay until after Giants of Steam that year, but its visit was extended as the arrangement suited both the owners and the Bluebell, and it left in early July 2025 to feature in HBO’s Harry Potter TV series.
‘Wightwick Hall’ spent its working life around Hereford. and Gloucester. After withdrawal it was one of the locomotives saved by being sold on from Barry scrapyard, moving to Quainton Road in January 1978, and restored to operational condition over the following 41 years.
