Doncaster Works open day, lots of Deltic parts on view. My photo June 1978.
London - King's Cross station. My photo August 1978.
"They had the noise, power, speed, everything. They were marvellous, unlike anything that had gone before or indeed since, the kind of reason why people fall in love with trains." - session drummer Ian Naisbitt recalls the Deltics, retired from British Rail 42 years ago today
OTD 42 years ago. A sad day but what a privilege it was to have been a witness to (and play a very small part in) the BR Deltic era.
BREL Doncaster Works, 27th February 1982 - the final Deltic gathering and the last public appearance of most of the fleet. Some of the unlucky ones - nos. 4, 5, 10 and 11. #FiftyFivesOnFriday
BR Class 40 No. 40145 races south through Ashchurch with a Pathfinder Railtours excursion to Winchester. What a cracking morning! @PathfinderTours
After a full restoration & repaint into BR Blue this was RSG's 1st public run back on the 1st Sept 2006 exploding with the Rail version of Drag racing. 😅🔥💨🚂 ⭐️🎅Deltic Gifts ⬇️🏞🚂 railwayartprintshop.etsy.com/uk/listing/112…
It would be a big blow for UK Tourism if this happens and a knock on effect for jobs supporting these services… bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotla…
Today, the Class 40 Preservation Society held their ‘Members Day’ for 2023… with @cfpsnews own D345 and the Class Forty Appeal’s 40012 ‘Aureol’ performing in various combinations on an additional diagram. 50015 ‘Valiant’ was also in operation on the normal Diesel Service.
From a time when summer Saturday trains to the seaside had proper traction....in this case it's a grubby 55019 waiting for the 'off' from York with 1A37, the 0847 Bridlington - Kings Cross on 22nd August 1981. #FiftyFivesOnFriday
And listen to that Power 🔥🔥
The Beast of a Class 55 Deltic in London @PathfinderTours @DelticPS #Class55 #Deltic
Only shot I got of D9009 today. Appears to be a popular loco.
Gets my vote…..
55009 having a jolly down the ECML among other lines on what should be a boring strike day. Incredible noise, clag and day. Mega traction. 📍Great Wymondley & Arlesey Station (29/07/23) @Captain_Deltic @DelticPS @PathfinderTours
See that clay and hear the EE roar , I saw redrock shake 🤭
Capital Deltic Reprise. Deltic 55009 ‘Alycidon’ powers the Kings Cross - Cleethorpes leg of the tour towards Wickenby LC, between Lincoln and Market Rasen. 29 July 2023.
Seems a good day for English Electric traction. @PathfinderTours ‘Captial Deltic Reprise’ hauled by @DelticPS D9009 passing Frinkley Lane, Grantham
55009 shatters the peace at Alexandra Palace! What a loco 😍

Good morning everyone. Another Fiddlers Ferry memory from July 1995 as 56022 waits for its train to be unloaded. A memorable day for me, as there was a traction inspector on board who invited me into the cab to travel through the unloading shed! Have a great Friday all 😉👍

@JacksonMacmanus Yes that’s what the secondary door locks are what the NYMR have and it’s what WCRC have been doing. ORR don’t accept it now. I believe the NYMR have an exemption for about 5 years and by then they’ll need to at least plan to fit CDL on carriages that run to Whitby.
"Chris was well into his Ferraris but I said 'No, you need to hear a Deltic start up mate. That'll blow a Ferrari away'. They had the noise, the power, the speed, everything." - Ian Naisbitt, drummer on (and inspiration behind the title of) Chris Rea's 1979 album 'Deltics'
