I don't have an issue.. I was just pointing philg to the DPS site as rails do not appear to have any pre-order slots available.

Argh, there was PINZA movement and I was bullied into it. Deltics never even ran on the GE until privatisation apart from visits to Stratford for hitting with a hammer.

 

edit:

 

Oh that's it, rub it in ya smegheads :D

Oh my aching wallet.  I feel a sound fitted Pinza coming on......

 

It does sound as if it is only running on one engine- I didn't catch the ultra-bass throb of the two Napiers being out of sync with each other- the result of the accessories not being evenly divided causing them to run at slightly different speeds.

Final production samples will be winging to us any day now ahead of the main shipment so we hope to have ‘final’ demo video of sound, lighting, stay alive and haulage capacity shortly.

As an aside, I'm interested to know how many deltics people have on order? I've got 3 coming to me, which is the most locos I've ever preordered. Anyone ordered all 22 I wonder?

 

Just the one, Mrs. Wembley (55011).

Went to order a sound fitted Pinza and then thought twice about it and didn't...

 

Ordered a sound-fitted Nimbus instead.  I remember them mostly with small yellow panels.   These were the usual suspects that deafened us at the time while platform ending at Darlington or sitting on the wall behind Pensbury Street.  My (female) cousin who lived in Pensbury Street taught me to climb lamp posts so we could get to the wall top..  If Gordon Highlander or DLI appears in that livery in future batches I may well be tempted again at some point.

Lovely sight……I wonder if it would break any rules if they installed the high intensity (modern) lamp into one of the domino places?  Would disguise it nicely for that classic look…….when it was off of course.

i think it looks pretty right as it is, had they continued another 5 or so years this is how they would have looked.

Not sure how large logo blue or intercity would have fitted into this.

Although they were seen at Cambridge fairly often (just sayin', in case you need an excuse....)

Still not in 1939 though :D And it's the Colchester side I'm doing too. Rule 1 has been very badly bruised I've hit it so hard :D

I've convinced myself to order four of the beauties!

 

Ballymoss

The Black Watch

Tulyar

Kings Own Yorkshire Light Infantry in 1980s Green livery  

 

I got introduced to Deltics when i was 6 or 7 years old by my two much older brothers when we use to go and stay at my Aunts in Sandy. The first and only loco type that use to scare the life out of me when they roared through at 100mph+. Left a lasting impression on me....

 

I'm going to wake up the neighbours with my four!

 

Oh and I'm thinking of ordering a fifth one. Decisions decisions....

True, but they never did…..but it was just a thought.

He’d be scarred for life if you took him through the engine room while running…….”never mind Dad I’ll wee when we get home” :lol:
