We were there a week or 2 before this and they were telling us theyll get her out soon, great to see her going. They also said they plan to have the Portrush Flyer going next year

Well we need to get drivers from NIR trained up first before a return to mainline so it could still be some time yet before the flyer returns.

Great footage, love the shunt with B142 at the end. She’s got a sharp bark, like 131 but less squeaky 😆

Lovely to see her move on her own steam, I wonder if she’ll be taking the small trains up and down the platforms any time soon?

She might do one or two for a bit of bedding in under load, but from what the crew said, she's much better suited for running on the open line

Unlikely in the short term. There is a still a daunting list of things to be completed, including all the electrical fittings and wiring, and the whole thing to be painted in that iconic GNR sky blue livery. But we are well pleased with today's test - 171 acquitted herself well, and handled the various points and crossovers up and down the yard as if they weren't there. The crews remarked on the quality and smoothness of the major controls -(apparently the regulator can be operated with fingertips. Great video, Matty. Keep up the good work.

True, true but as we don’t have a driver up north and I would like her to stay up north.

This locomotive looks more like Edward the Blue Engine, than its supposed FR 21/K2 class basis.

It's not discussed much in the Thomas fandom, but many of the stories in the railway series by the Rev Awdry had taken inspiration from stories about the railways in Ireland, the more laxed attitude to regulation, and frankly the Irish landscape had a much more intertwined network of narrow and "regular" gauges too.
