Ah yes, Alycidon, wonderful. Lovely line as well. It’s always been my favorite loco, the
Deltic. From seeing the prototype at the Science museum when I was about 6. (It’s now in Shildon) to Dad taking us to watch one of the final services arriving at Darlington Bank Top station before the HS125’s took over, I’ve always wanted to drive one. The noise and size. And the engines are absolutly bonkers!
I’m sure you know about all this, but just sharing for others. Anyone with a curiosity about engineering just search Deltic Napier Engine!
