Now, and in retrospect, that is what epitomises the railway to me - be it branch or main line.

 

You can keep your gleaming Pacifics - the staple diet of us trainspotters was the mundane and unremarkable - even if we did deride such locos at the time.

 

A wonderful, atmospheric photo.

John Isherwood.

Glad you like it John,

 

For some reason it seems to work more quietly in reverse (or did). Not so bad, I suppose, for the likes of a J3, but annoying in a Pacific I've built!

 

Regards,

 

Tony.

Passenger type 5 has to be a Deltic in two tone green with small yellow warning panels, any of them in that scheme but D9003 Meld was the first diesel I ever had a model of and someone even put a light in it for me, so was by far my favourite when I was 5 years old.

 

Type 5 freight would have to be a class 60, love the shape of them.

 

cheers

Tony

It still does Tony, but so do my J6s, so it seems to be a characteristic of those models from London Road. We've never managed to cure it in any of them.

Is this a Type 5?

If it is I shall vote for it, as an honorary Deltic.

 

 

Totally agree with that... 

 

Nice shot of Scarborough on a crisp day as as well.. ;)

how can that be an honorary Deltic? It’s entirely the wrong shape!

 

Fantastic sound mind... ;)

The obligatory shot of train standing at Platform 6, but this is the last we shall see of 42573 for a while.
