BosKonay Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 "The RPSI's ex-GNR(I) 4-4-0 NO. 85 "Merlin" was in steam on Thursday night, 5th December. This was for some test running, including testing the speedometer and the AWS. There was also a lot of posing around under the yard lights!"

Warbonnet Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Now that's some awesome photography! I think she still has to be lined, can't wait to see her on the rails in 2014. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southern Yard Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Lovely camera work, very atmospheric capturing what steam is all about. Look forward to 2014 and seeing her on the mainline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lough Erne Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 It was a very successful and enjoyable evening on Thursday. From mikes superb film (only one of many) the majority of electrical testing has been done in preparation for the main electrical/steam/brake etc tests in the near future. There is no lining on the loco yet - only about 3/7 of the tender but it is hoped to have her done by the new year. Test trains are still to be confirmed as there are still paper work mountains to be scaled but it should be middle/late January early Feb all being well.
