I was there tonight for the photoshoot, had a great time apart from the rain. Undoubted highlight was when 55002, 55019 and D9009 all fired up, to be joined shortly afterwards by D9016 and 55022 all revving up at once - MY LORDZ!!!!

What a brilliant day we had on Sunday, even the weather just about behaved itself!

 

Difficult to explain to a 'civilian' the effect certain sounds (& smells!) can have on a person, but standing in the midst of FIVE Deltics all giving it some was truly a joy - that's what I call surround sound!

 

Roll on 'Deltic 51'... :locomotive:

Lovely sots there Kevin. I think that you definately had the better weather on day 2. Totally understand the sentiment about being surrounded by running Napiers which is why I'm looking forward to being present for the 19:25 Bury departure on Saturday, hauled by (according to the DPS) D9009, D9016, 55002, 55019 and 55022. There may be a smog warning! but oh the sound!
