Last Years of the DELTICS 1977 - 1982

 

Tracking down some of the very best photographs in colour to depict the final five or so years of the Deltics in service has taken many years. We have selected the very best of colour photographs for you with this one. All twenty-two locomotives are to be seen before they were withdrawn at locations both familiar and unusual. Deltics are to be seen on regular workings, specials, double-headed, on stabling points, depots and works, ex-works, clean, specially prepared and downright filthy. A number of exceptionally delightful night shots are also included as we count down the months and years from 1977 until the spring of 1982.

We have chosen views to bring you the best quality available having trawled through many thousands of shots, we have selected the very best with great composition, colour and well exposed in all weather conditions as we tell the story of their last few years of service.#

 

Published in the same format as our previous volume Deltic Devotion that quickly sold out within months, order straight away to avoid disappointment.

96 pages in larger landscape format to display these superb images at their very best on high quality glossy art paper in HARDBACK.

The Deltics and Baby Deltics A Tale of Success and Failure

 

The Deltic Class 55 Locomotives were some of the most successful, first generation diesels introduced to British Railways, being constructed from 1960-1962 and numbering twenty two, in the production class. The prototype machine was constructed in 1956 and was tested extensively on express trains on the London Midland and Eastern Regions of B R, until 1960. The interest and enthusiasm, for the class is reflected in the fact, that six examples of the class are preserved, including the 1956 prototype. The Baby Deltics, were a derivative Locomotive design, using one rather then two engines, for use on outer suburban and short main line semi fast services. Only ten Baby Deltics were constructed between 1961-1962, for use on services out of London Kings Cross. The Baby Deltics were all withdrawn within a decade, as they were not very successful in main line service.
