Finsbury Park missed a trick if they didn't ask Bounds Green for a can of coach (window) grey. Would have been from a complementary colour palette. The 1960's colour wasn't white either!

Great pics, keep them coming James The Deltic Preservation Society acquired two Series 1 marine engines some time ago, which are identical to DELTIC's other than having a marine gearbox fitted instead of a generator, and perhaps some other ancillaries. So in theory it would be possible, but as far as I am aware no-one that actually owns anything has ever suggested it happening. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything is possible but i wont hold my breath! All the best James I think it came about from people putting 2 + 2 and getting 5; some years ago when DELTIC visited Barrow Hill, it was arranged for a survey of the loco to be undertaken by the DPS to assess the condition of the loco and see what was missing. The fact that the DPS had some power units of the right spec meant some rumours circulated that this was a precursor to getting it running, especially as the NRM at the time to be softening their stance on work being undertaken on the locos to restore them to working order eg 55002/HST. As they have since regressed on this to the point that a number of the previous working locos are now broken and unlikely to be repaired I suggest Deltic is well down the queue. I recall the survey on Deltic was curtailed but in addition to the missing crankshafts, the main cables to the traction motor have been cut during either the process to put it in the science museum or take it out.

Busmansholiday Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Deltics rarely visited Sheffield Midland. 55007, Pinza, presumably on a railtour, but sadly the slide has no date on it. 55022, slide processing date says 12/81, so presumably one of the last runs. Somewhere Donny way I seem to remember. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johann Marsbar Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 One from Peterborough station on 31st May 1980. 55 002 arrives with a northbound service - though it appears to be using a platform different to "normal" for northbound trains. As it's over 40 years ago now, I can't remember the reason! Was actually one of the first photos I took using slide film, having been bought a Zenith EM SLR for the previous Christmas. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold chris p bacon Posted December 16, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 16, 2020 Here are some taken when I was 14/15 and had to home develop as no money. 1977, 55018 At Haymarket heading back to Waverley after refuelling, there were about 5 of us on a Merrymaker from Sandy to Edinburgh for the sum of £1.50 each!. Unidentified Deltic on the Up main through Sandy in Jan 1978, most likely a Sunday afternoon. 55022 on the down main at Sandy passing the 'New' fertiliser storage shed in what was the Down Yard, this is about 1978 after the running lines through the station were quadrupled. In the foreground are 2 p'way chaps wearing high viz vests.....although you'd never know it! 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
