Bulleid Battle of Britain class Pacific 34059 'Sir Archibald Sinclair' sits on the Hood Road reception line at Barry scrapyard awaiting its fate in October 1966. It is sitting in the same location as was 9F 92134, as seen in Kenneth Gray's view 23481 of almost exactly a year to the day later, with the shadow of the goods shed and its chimney masking parts of the loco. 34059 was later rescued and has resided on the Bluebell Railway for many years. As of August 2023 it is in the final throes of a major overhaul that should result in it returning to service by early 2024.
