RPSI's 85 'Merlin's'' first ever visit to Rosslare, Including train failure, 06/08/2018

[@davidcorbett62]

Great footage of Merlin at speed and I know she “failed” but up to then she was a star performer

[@ldegmtrainspotter]

Amazing video with Merlin`s Steam loco! Lovely places and landscapes! Good work, master! Thumbs Up All the best from Dublin Andrew

[@newfoundpower92]

British and Americans: We have very efficient motor-powered turntables. The Irish: Ach, just push the bastard.

[@HSTHoward]

Great to see the turntable being used. Bet it’s been a while!

[@irishrailtrains]

Indeed, was a unique sight alright.

[@philodowd8080]

My Grandad was a Driver on the Merlin way back

[@COLLOONEYJUNCTION]

Beautifully crafted atmospheric video as always! I particularly liked the shot of her bursting from the tunnel at Greystones and the approach to Ferrycarrig tunnel. The on-board experience was up there with the best despite the loco' failure. You are probably in clips I took from the train at Wexford Quay, Rathdrum & Woodenbridge.

[@irelandbloke]

Brilliant video Stephen. Superb shots !

[@irishrailtrains]

Thanks Rob, glad you liked it!

[@joeykn9014]

Fantastic footage Stephen Merlin performed brilliantly on the DSER until the fail at Greystones but a top notch double header to top of the day

[@irishrailtrains]

Thanks Joe, pity it did fail at Greystones but it did result in a very rare shot alright!

Nice one. It's quite rare seeing a diesel hauling a steam loco.

[@nednedtom]

There's an idea. diesel and steam double header. Some rail tours I seen in the UK. Bring a diesel just encase. was a long day alright. good footage.

[@padraigmcwilliams5680]

Great video Stevie, what happened after Connolly did they dump the whole lot in platform 3 or the wash road for the night?

[@capnskiddies]

Back Siding iirc

[@mahmoodahmedbhatti1548]

V nice view lovely

[@atlanticcoastexpress]

Thank you Stephen! I was particularly pleased to see the steam loco running through Wexford next to the harbour...she became quite a celebrity. Does anyone know what the cause of the loco’s failure was? Thank you for your time and effort. Regards, Rob.

[@TheBalto1925]

I was on it, we asked the crew in Connolly. They said "We don't know, but whatever went wrong hasn't happened before."

[@TheIrishMainline]

Great work Stevie \o/

Jesus there will be so much demand when things get back to normal. Hopefully a bit of double heading action will be seen to make up for the lost revenue 😁😁😁
