What Might Have Been - IoW Ivatt
In 1960 there was a proposal to modify three of the Southern Region's BR Standard Class 2 Tanks by reducing the height of their fittings so they could work principal trains on the Isle of Wight system, then still running to both Cowes (via Newport) and Ventnor. It came to nought, as did a revival of the scheme in 1965, but it has now happened in the modern heritage era. The Isle of Wight Steam Railway acquired one of the almost-identical Ivatt Class 2 Tanks (they were the progenitors of the BR version) and restored it to working order so that the plan from two-thirds of a century ago could come to fruition. Now it's the Railway's staple power and we see it leaving Havenstreet at the head of the Railway's award-winning 4-wheel and bogie passenger stock.

Places to see in ( Barry - UK )
Barry is a town in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales, on the north coast of the Bristol Channel approximately 7 miles south-southwest of Cardiff. Barry is a seaside resort, with attractions including several beaches and the resurrected Barry Island Pleasure Park.
Once a small village, Barry has absorbed its larger neighbouring villages of Cadoxton and Barry Island. Barry grew significantly from the 1880s with the development of Barry Docks, which in 1913 was the largest coal port in the world. The place was possibly named after Saint Baruc.
Barry is the administrative centre of the Vale of Glamorgan, and home to Barry Town United F.C. Although still a port, Barry is more of a manufacturing town and as a service centre for the Vale of Glamorgan. Barry Docks and the adjoining industrial area form the largest employment centre in the town.
To the west of Barry is Porthkerry Park. This is a large area of open space, with woodlands, streams, and access to a pebbly beach. In the park is the former Barry Railway Company viaduct with 13 arched spans standing 110 ft high. Following the closure of the Vale of Glamorgan line to passengers between Barry and Bridgend in 1964, it was reopened on 10th June 2005 and for most of its 19 miles, provides a scenic view and link to Llantwit Major and beyond to Bridgend.
The Barry Island peninsula was an island until the 1880s when it was linked to the mainland as the town of Barry expanded. This was partly due to the opening of Barry Dock by the Barry Railway Company. Established by David Davies, the docks now link up the gap which used to form Barry Island. There is a railway station to access the island at Barry Docks, there is also a heritage railway station which houses refurbished steam passenger trains. The railway is open to the public and holds events involving a large steam engine replica of Thomas the Tank Engine.
Barry Island is now known for its beach and Barry Island Pleasure Park. From 1966, the island was home to a Butlins Holiday camp, which was closed in 1987 and taken over by Majestic Holidays who renamed it Barry Island Resort. The preserved Vale of Glamorgan Railway runs on Barry Island. From the late 1960s onwards, Woodhams Yard, Barry was home to hundreds of British Rail steam locomotives that were due to be scrapped.

Bus tour of parts of the Isle of Wight, England
This is a long bus tour of the Isle of Wight. I had accommodation in Ryde and was touring the island by bus to get a feel of it. It's like mainland Hampshire which it fronts to the north.
Pull Push M7s in the 50s
In 1950s the Southern Region was still reliant on Victorian steam locomotives and coaching stock for many of its branch services. Here we see two LSWR Drummond M7 tanks, fitted with pull-push gear, on the Bordon and Swanage lines matched with similarly-old coaches converted to pull-push use, these boasting BR red and ex-SR malachite green liveries.

HD I.O.W Holiday 2018, Isle of Wight Railway, ERTL D199, Percy, Wooden Streamlined Emily & More!
Trip to the Isle of Wight, I went to the Railway where I got Wooden Streamlined Emily and some badges and magnets. Also went to a model shop in Ventnor called Paddington's named after the mbear created by Michael Bond, Paddington Bear. I got ERTL D199, Percy and the sodor mail vans from there.
The Isle of Wight Railway was a railway company on the Isle of Wight, United Kingdom; it operated 14 miles of railway line between Ryde and Ventnor. It opened the first section of line from Ryde to Sandown in 1864, later extending to Ventnor in 1866. The Ryde station was at St Johns Road, some distance from the pier where the majority of travellers arrived. A tramway operated on the pier itself, and a street-running tramway later operated from the Pier to St Johns Road. It was not until 1880 that two mainland railways companies jointly extended the railway line to the Pier Head, and IoWR trains ran through, improving the journey arrangements.
An independent company built a branch line from Brading to Bembridge, and the IoWR operated passenger trains on the line from 1882, and later absorbed the owning company.
The IoWR was itself absorbed into the Southern Railway in the grouping of 1923.
The Bembridge branch closed in 1953, and in 1966 the Ryde Pier Head to Ventnor line was truncated to terminate at Shanklin. This was electrified, and former London Underground tube train stock was brought into use on the line; this arrangement continues to the present day.
The Isle of Wight Steam Railway is a heritage railway on the Isle of Wight. The railway passes through 5 1⁄2 miles (9 km) of unspoiled countryside from Smallbrook Junction[1] to Wootton station,[2] passing through the small village of Havenstreet, where the line has a station, headquarters and a depot. At Smallbrook Junction, the steam railway connects with the Island Line.
The railway is owned and operated by the Isle of Wight Railway Co. Ltd. and run largely by volunteers. Services are operated on most days from June to September, together with selected days in April, May, and October and public holidays. The railway is popular with tourists, attracting people to its original steam locomotive and railway cafe. Over each August Bank Holiday weekend, the railway organises the Island Steam Show, which combines an intensive service on the railway with displays of various sorts of steam power including traction engines and steam fair equipment, together with other attractions that vary year by year. For events like steam galas and Day out with Thomas events, engines from the mainland have to be brought in by boat and then transferred to Havenstreet.
