    The annual Compo Club photocharter at the Pontypool & Blaenavon railway featured two LNWR built locomotives from classes with strong connections with the area, Coal Tank no. 1054 and Super D no. 49395. Indeed, no. 1054, in its BR guise with Super D no. 49121, co-hauled the final Heads of the Valleys passenger working from Abergavenny to Merthyr on 5th January 1958.
    My photos from the day are now on my Zenfolio website here: - http://mickrogers.zenfolio.com/p909489339/h7c64e665#h7c64e665

    The one event I'd been looking forward to since the loan request came in for 49395 and I couldn't make it in the end, so thank you for posting these fabulous pics - almost as good as being there!
