    Have done that with both 85 and 261. The thrash is well worth experiencing.

    I have done steam out of Cork once, with 85 on 7-9-2003, but I'm sad to say I no longer remember it. Somewhere I have read a stirring account of a climb out of Cork with Maeḋḃ: anyone remember where that account is?

    With the demise of the International tours, this would seem to be the only way to see a fair chunk of Ireland behind steam in one go.

    Not a permanent demise; rather a hiatus caused by the actual sad demise of Noel Playfair: see https://www.steamtrainsireland.com/news/121/northern-operations

    He drove 85 from Whitehead to Dundalk on my 2015 trip. Gave us an astonishing climb over the mountains south of Newry. Had a chat to him after that and found him to be a thoroughly nice chap. A sad loss to the Irish steam scene.

    Thursday, the last day of this impressive tour. Merlin was failed yesterday afternoon in Dublin so No 131 standing in for the spectacular run up the coast from Wexford to Dublin.

    131 at Wexford last night.
