Downpatrick Steam Train

A very windy day for flying, so just a short flight before the wind got too strong, I shall return.
The Downpatrick railway, which has a triangular layout, connects two local tourist attractions, Inch Abbey to the north, and a locally famous Viking site ('King Magnus' Grave') to the south.
This is the only operational Irish standard gauge (5' 3") heritage railway in the whole of Ireland.
The railway restoration project is, to date, the only Irish Standard Gauge railway restoration project ever undertaken in Ireland (Irish standard gauge is five foot three inches as opposed to narrow gauge which is three foot and English standard gauge which is four feet eight and a half inches). The only other example of a Irish standard gauge railway in Northern Ireland is Northern Ireland Railways.
