The Official Deltics Remembered DVD Vol 1 & 2

[@xlaptopx]

Brilliant! This is how I remember the Deltics during the mid 1970's, mucky filthy machines covered in a million dead flies. The spotlessly clean preserved Deltics of today are not quite the same somehow.

[@davidreay5911]

I couldn't agree more.

[@dimy4928]

Fantastic memories of these charging alongThe East Coast main line .No sound like it will ever be heard again.

[@norburycrossing]

The finest loco fleet BR ever owned 22 pieces of the finest engineering ever built

Their best year *HAD* to be 1982

Brilliant stuff. Cant believe I havnt seen this before. 👍

[@ianjones4116]

Deltics running on both engines . Quality. Dont see it very often these days. 😎👍

[@robertp.wainman4094]

I remember standing as a little lad alongside a Deltic at Doncaster Station - wondering why this locomotive sounded so different to anything else - and how it made the platform shake? Remember thinking it was a mighty machine that was waiting to be unleashed!

[@Ass_Burgers_Syndrome]

Captain Sensible is such a fan of these that he named his own record label Deltic Records.

[@railwayman6901]

Never liked diesels much but I have to say that I admired the DELTICS.

[@mickd6942]

I hear the sound of those Napiers and I'm 12 again and stood on doncaster station like it was yeasterday

[@grindupBaker]

If the original Deltic C0C0 was light blue then I saw it circa 1960 on the line at Old Oak Sheds when I was a trainspotter.

Hull Paragon 0:56 to 1:27 (all 3 clips) - Love the sound deltics make, "vuh-vuh-vuh-vuh-vuh-vuh- " !

[@oddities-whatnot]

Great piece of history. Thinking back, how did any of us breath with all that going on, plus everyone smoking as well haha. What a healthy world Britain used to be !

[@ianjones4116]

Yeah but they were The Deltics they were allowed to smoke. Now all I have is my cigarettes, no more Deltics.

Memories

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

22 deltics were built six survive into preservation along with the prototype

[@canyoudigit5058]

From a bittersweet time when the English still knew who they were.

[@Ass_Burgers_Syndrome]

We still know who were are, but we're being gaslighted into believing otherwise.

[@ABCDEF-yf4yu]

The big fat Deltics, only 22 were built compared with 200 class 40s, so more should have been saved. One should have been chosen as the locomotive of the Royal trains with more imposing presence than a class 47.

[@karloschaos]

Hull Paragon at 1.02?

[@Uftonwood2]

On the western we had the whining 1000 class, so took a trip to Kings Cross just to hear a Deltic start, and hear it we certainly did.

[@dougson56]

Fantastic engines exciting to drive trying to keep the boiler working between the two engines if it played up was a pain thank god for ETH.

[@marshallman7608]

I had to go in to attend to a boiler problem. Tried to time it for when the engines were idling but by the time I sorted it they were at full throttle, stone deaf when I came out. Ear protection hadn't been heard of in those days!

@@billpugh58 Yes, I already have. Have been doing a lot of campaigning over the years to make Gov aware and encouragement to legislate against emissions and offer scrappage of outdated machinery.

Graeme Kornicki thanks for advice Graeme

[@graemekornicki6810]

@@micheldenis6362 lots of the dvds are silent and i had problems with a green line down the screen very repetative shots of same location and lots of shots departing kx from front coach window.too many shots in bad light ,the 4 discs run for over 4 hours but only 2 hours are watchable, in my opinion.

[@wattass7]

wow where can i buy this, thanks

[@x91w]

Nice subtle watermark

[@paulfearn4905]

Daft question but why do some Deltics use 2 exhausts and others 1

[@Titan604]

Depends on if they are running on both engines or just one - one exhaust per engine.

[@graemekornicki6810]

A 4 dvd set bit repetative seeng 4 ist coach departures from sa.e donny platform captiins on screen but why the names across top of screen very distracting .

[@paulfearn4905]

@@Titan604 Sorry, what I meant was why do they only use one engine?

[@Titan604]

@@paulfearn4905 In BR days, it was usually because the other engine was broken. In preservation days, if you are limited to 25mph you only need one, so it saves on fuel and maintenance. Of course during galas they may use both just for the hell of it, and out on the mainline they usually need both to keep time.
