Five Deltic Convoy Passes Stalybridge 11th October 2011

Five Deltic locomotives are seen together in one convoy passing through Stalybridge, North Manchester on Tuesday 11th October 2011.
The five locos had been at Shildon for a Deltic 50th Anniversary event and were then moving on to Bury and the East Lancashire Railway for the North Western's Deltic Anniversary event at the home of 55022 and D9016. Running as the 0Z46 55022 "Royal Scots Grey" leads the procession with fellow ELR compatriot D9016 "Gordon Highlander" bringing up the rear.
The locos listed in formation order,
55022 "Royal Scots Grey"
55002 "The Kings Own Yorkshire Light Infantry"
55019 "Royal Highland Fusilier"
D9009 "Alycidon"
D9016 "Gordon Highlander"
A massive thank you to everyone that has been involved in keeping these five fantastic machines alive and to those who made both the Shildon and East Lancashire Railway events possible. Thanks also to Network Rail for allowing the cavalcade to run under Deltic power & ensuring a "shed free" shot :)
As always, best enjoyed in 1080 with the sound up.
