Andrew Barclay 0-4-0 ST, No. 1260, on display on a truncated piece of track, along with a 'Newport Docks Railway' 7-plank wagon, at the Blaenavon Wharf on the River Usk, Kingsway, Newport.

The locomotive was new to the Newport Tinplate Company, Abercarn, in 1911 later finding work with British Steel at the Ebbw Vale Steel works.

Andrew Barclay Sons & Co. was a builder of steam and later fireless and diesel locomotives. The company's history dates to foundation of an engineering workshop in 1840 in Kilmarnock, Scotland.
