Oh how I remember seeing deltics as a young boy in the 60s and 70s at kings cross and after seeing this wonderful filming how I do miss them

Richirop. Well having worked on these loco's in the early 70's as a second man.They would certainly make your hairs on the back of your head stand up when you had to go in there to sort the boiler out or pump the header tank up. It's amazing how many don't realise the reality of working on these Locos. But I must say I wouldn't have missed it for the world. They were masters of their job. You'll need your 🎧 on the lowest setting

What livery would you say looks best on a deltic? Green or blue?
