With 45699 Galatea having returned to mainline service in 2013, it seems appropriate to include this shot of it languishing in Barry scrapyard over 40 years ago. Purists may prefer the remnants of the BR lined green livery still visible, to the BR maroon which it presently carries, but otherwise it looks a sorry sight. The Merchant Navy Pacific on the right is 35009 Shaw Savill.
