It was all show for ex GWR 4-6-0 No 6000 'King George V' as it started its runpast at Abergavenny while heading the 'Welsh Marches Pullman' on 10 October 1981. The rest of the northbound climb to Llanvihangel was less spectacular and was completed at little more than walking pace due to the effects of a light drizzle on the rails.
