Given the poor condition of the locos and rolling stock seen daily on the Thai railway system due to years of under-investment I should be interested in seeing photographs of the donated units.

Wow, I reckon the Cambodians must be jumping for joy to be getting Thai cast offs, I have travelled extensively on SRT, all ways 3rd class, doors that do not shut, windows stuck in the open position, great when it's raining ???? and brakes that lock on and catch fire, as opposed to fail as they do on trucks & buses, congratulations Cambodia, welcome to the 18th century.
