I love the sound of a good Deltic. 55's used to whine past my house as a little boy in Knebworth.

[@HenrysAdventures]

Thank you for watching! They do have a great sound!

[@CherylRayment-ec3ke]

The sound of that machine. A beast

[@HenrysAdventures]

A fantastic sound! Thank you for watching!

[@paulspickernell6875]

Great to see it back at King’s Cross, first saw it there when I was about 12, fifty odd years ago

[@HenrysAdventures]

Thank you for watching! It great to see a Deltic at the Cross again!

[@spectrumanalyzer3093]

Looking, and sounding marvellous. My mind goes back to the ITN News broadcast from so many years ago that reported the Deltic Farewell railtour that pulled in to Kings Cross.

[@HenrysAdventures]

Thank you for watching! I've seen that news report and have always wanted to see a Deltic at the Cross!

A very up close look at the D9000, under a beautiful train shed with great lighting!! 🤩(new subscriber, Virginia)

[@HenrysAdventures]

Thank you very much! :)

[@ChrisJNeale]

My main love will always be external combustion engines but if you must have internal combustion this is very much as good as it gets! Luckily I visited Kings X many times when they were in service and travelled North behind them too. Absolutely superb sound!

[@HenrysAdventures]

Thank you very much! I agree Deltics are about as good as they get!

[@Shelfandtabletoplayouts00gauge]

Spot on Henry👍

[@HenrysAdventures]

Thank you very much! :)

[@railfanpolska]

Fantastic video 😊

[@HenrysAdventures]

Thank you for watching! :)

You can't beat a 'blood and custard' paint scheme.

[@paulanderson7796]

36 six cylinders and 72 opposed pistons. Two stroke brilliance. There seems to be a kind of renaissance of two stroke rail engines. It's impossible to have a two stroke diesel engine that doesn't use forced induction. I remember the Foster Yeoman Class 59 freight locos from 1986.

[@HenrysAdventures]

Thank you for watching and in the info. Happy New Year!

[@heikonaujoks]

[@HenrysAdventures]

Thank you! :)

[@FishingFan2]

Love her current livery 😍 haven't seen her since June 2008 at Penzance in Cornwall. 2 videos on my channel. She was 55022 then. Been watching her at York station on UK Railfan.

[@HenrysAdventures]

Thank you for watching! Last time I saw her she was running as 55022.

[@that_transport_guy5404]

Amazing videos!

[@HenrysAdventures]

Thank you very much!

[@thefakewasp503]

Lovely filming of a wonderful working into King's Cross. I did see it take over from the 40 at York. What a shame about Sir Nigel and I had already booked a hotel in York hoping to see the changeover!

[@HenrysAdventures]

Thank you very much! Yes, it was a shame to hear about 60007. Still sounds good. I'll look out for your video.

[@thefakewasp503]

@@HenrysAdventures OK Henry, don't worry if you haven't got the time to watch it.

[@ianpark1906]

Quite a haunting noise as it emerges from the gasworks tunnel

[@HenrysAdventures]

Thank you for watching! Yes, I could hear her for a while before she appeared.

[@46245col]

Lovely footage.

[@HenrysAdventures]

Thank you very much!

[@robertp.wainman4094]

I very much doubt in 40 years time that crowds like this will be thronging the platform to get a look of an old Azuma - we've really lost 'soul' in modern transport!

[@HenrysAdventures]

Thank you for watching. I agree! I was looking at a Class 802 at Bristol yesterday and the paint around the doors and windows was badly flaking. They're not much fun to travel on, they'll never have the same place in history the Delicts have.

[@heikonaujoks]

man muss sagen the big HBF von to london sizt bei euch abends sehr nice aus😇🥰😘☺😚🤗

[@HenrysAdventures]

Thank you very much! :)

[@simongleaden2864]

It was a pity the Deltics were in front line service for only about 20 years. I understand they were expensive to maintain compared with other diesels and the HST's had taken their principal role from them. I remember them on the Kings Cross - York semi-fasts towards the end of the ECML service lives. In 1981 I took a Deltic-hauled Up train from York and it was old Mark 1 steam heated stock, which was pretty rare by then on Inter-City services.

[@HenrysAdventures]

Thank you for watching! I agree, I went long before their time but great to see them still appearing at the Cross from time to time.

[@robertp.wainman4094]

They were best when matched to Mk2 air conditioned East Coast Mainline stock - a beautiful ride in comfortable seats.......with the might of the Napiers droning away up front!

[@jonathanwood2465]

Wow what a machine 😅

[@HenrysAdventures]

Thank you for watching! :)

[@barrythedieselelectricstea5217]

excellent shots of D9000 👍there use to be a D9000 doing trips from Birmingham to ramsgate in the 90s i was wondering if it the same one though it didn't have the wings on the front

[@HenrysAdventures]

Thank you very much! :) Yes its quite possible it was this loco. The wings are easy to put on and off.

[@AndreiTupolev]

Yes, it was the same one. It was hired by Virgin for a couple of years between about 1998 and 2000

[@pauljones401]

New camera or just amazing lighting. Or both? Stunning

[@HenrysAdventures]

Same camera I've had since July so it must be the lighting. Thanks for watching!

[@heikonaujoks]

[@WindyJAMiller]

How much is ulez on a deltic?

[@HenrysAdventures]

Exempt on age!

[@WindyJAMiller]

@@HenrysAdventures almost like its a money making scheme/poll tax and not about the air qaulity....

[@HenrysAdventures]

@@WindyJAMiller I agree! All the idiot/so called mayor is interested in is making money. Thank God he didn't get to kill of the travelcard as he hoped to.
