    Thanks for watching and commenting.
    I guess Spamcan81 must recognize many of the locations.

    I've often fantasised what a Deltic would sound like nipping on a bit equipped with an American locomotive warning horn in place of the strangled asthmatic horns that were fitted originally.

    I do indeed. If you've got any more, please post. Can't have too many Deltic pics.

    No more Deltic photos I'm afraid, but plenty of other stuff which I will scan and upload over the next few weeks.
