Merlin out on steam trials

[UP6936]

85 merlin was out with the mk2s on a steam trial run today. Video of merlin passing whiteabbey bridge going up on my YouTube channel now.

She seemed in fine form, and was running fairly quickly. Can't wait to see her out with tours, anyone know when that will be?
