    I've posted a couple of clips from Thursday on YouTube. They are taken at Dorrington and Knucklas. Here's a frame-grab from the first one:

    Here's a quote from a friend of mine who saw the train at Newport on Friday.

    "The engines looked good, more than can be said for the coaching stock. Very poor condition indeed, and not a good advert for the steam movement."

    Well if he was going by the outside appearance, the stock had completed a week of varied weather conditions and was bound to be getting a bit grubby after that time behind steam..
