Swindon 123 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Further back in this thread someone asked for a shot of a Deltic starting up. Her's my effort I've not long uploaded to my Flickr site showing 55017 at Kings Cross, 8th September 1981. For more of my Deltic photos go to https://www.flickr.com/photos/95430950@N07/sets/72157633773320752/ They are much better resolution than I can upload here.

jonny777 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 At last. Something works. Thanks for trying these links. To prevent this going off at a tangent I have started a separate thread called Jonny's Audio (or something like that) on which I will add more nostalgic file links.
