RMweb Gold 97406 Posted October 17, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 17, 2023 55004 looks tasty so I think I may just plump for that! The silver windscreen frames lift the Banger Blue like the Finsbury Park white window surrounds did. The person at York depot responsible for painting them back in blue when they were transferred up there must have been a right misery guts! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The silver windscreen frames lift the Banger Blue like the Finsbury Park white window surrounds did. The person at York depot responsible for painting them back in blue when they were transferred up there must have been a right misery guts! In fairness to York it was actually Doncaster Works that painted the frames back into blue just prior to the Railex Weekend (17/18 June 1978) when she was touched up as a static exhibit. There's a lovely shot of her there on the Napier Chronicles website. It took her nearly another 18 months from then to escape the Works and very nearly didn't make it. The post announcing this variation references 4 Deltics to have had this treatment, 55006 I know was one, I'm 99% sure 55002 was the third, but not sure of the 4th. The silver frames definitely add something though, here's No 6 at Kings Cross in 1978. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted October 17, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 17, 2023 (edited) By the look of it, 55013 was the 4th (according to the caption on Flickr) Edited October 17, 2023 by brushman47544 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold farren Posted October 27, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 27, 2023 (edited) Oh dear I should not have looked, I was happy with 55 005 from the last Batch, but 55 020 would make a nice mate to go with. Or even 55 004 for that matter. Think I better go and have a lay down it might pass. Edited October 27, 2023 by farren 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishdurham Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 I have had a quick search through past comments and see nothing. How are the headcodes changed on the early Deltics? Looks too easy on the early 37s, but is it a body off job? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are these available has spares or will they be made available? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

meatloaf Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Just got a pewowned 55015 from my local shop. Runs a treat and sounds great but i cant seem to give it a new number. Tried main track and programme track but the number wont change from its current id of 15. I was going to reset CV8 to 8 in the hope it sets it back to default but im not sure if i read in the class 37 thread that that means it wipes the decoder?

If it was said in the Class 37 thread, and I can't remember anyone doing so, you can be reassured that they were talking rubbish. Writing 8 to CV8 will not wipe a decoder, it will simply revert the settings back to the original programmed values including changing the address back to 3. (Note that someone with a Lokprogrammer can also save an update that will become the new "reset" default. I mention this for completeness as I assume it does not apply to you.)
