Deltics are fab and a memory from my childhood living in sight and sound of the ECML (along with the Vulcans from Waddington and Scampton). This is the best of my photos from Barrow Hill back in August 2006 when all six surviving production Deltics came together for the first time in preservation.
Used to stand beside these at Edinburgh Waverley as they were powering up at the head of trains to Kings Cross. The sound and the vibration through the platform were just incredible.
Wonderful!
There’s a few thousand horsepower sat there in that lineup.
As a lad watching these thunder through St.Mark’s station it was almost terrifying.
They seemed so huge but incredibly impressive.
I was fortunate to see one pulling a train on the NYMR and although she was only using one engine she still sounded fabulous ![]()
Looks like a good turnout!
John Lennon’s white Rolls Royce, I was told, a recent addition to the collection in the British motor museum at Gaydon.
Canny view to start my day with a coffee in hand.
